Alex has been sitting, well, tripodding, for a couple weeks now. He needs to have his arms down to stabilize himself, so it's not really sitting, but close to it. There's a picture below of him demonstrating this. He also likes to play a game with his daddy. We put Alex in his exersauser by the table when we're eating. He jumps up and down to get his daddy's attention. When his daddy is looking at him, Alex smiles. As soon as Bob turns away, Alex stops smiling and starts jumping up and down again. This can go on during the entire meal. It's very cute. And he also reaches for his daddy when he wants his daddy to hold him. How come daddy gets all this fun stuff? What about me?

I think Alex is finally getting better. He had a fever again last Friday. But now he's not coughing much, just when he first wakes up. Now Glenn has a runny nose, which he probably got from the kids at school. I notices a couple of them were sick last week and sure enough, Glenn's nose began to run this weekend. Other than that, he feels well.
