Way Too Long Without Pictures

It's been busy here, but way too long since I posted pictures. Alex has been developing his leg muscles and they are now too fast for the camera. Eventually, he stopped kicking to stare at me. Here's Alex back on June 13, celebrating his four-month birthday by lifting his head -- that still takes some effort. Did I mention he likes to lie on his back and kick the air? He likes to sleep with his arms over his head. At his four-month check-up this Monday, he weighed in at sixteen pounds, eight ounces.

Sleepy

Alex slept ten hours in his playpen last night -- 8 PM to 6 AM! Even then, we had to wake him to get to work on time (us, I mean; he's just going to day care!).

Almost 15 Pounds

With a clean diaper, onesie, and a full belly, he's just a few ounces shy of 15 pounds, says the bathroom scale. (Which is somewhere around 6700-6800 grams for you metric folk!)

Baptism: 5/25/08

We've been a bit short on time lately. Finally, the pictures from Alex's baptism are being posted.... Here he is yawning in the sunroom, with Michele, and a close-up. We also have a very surprised Alex with Granny Susan and Grandpa Jim. Then we swapped in Aunt Mindy. Here's Daddy, teasing him with ice cream. Uncle Greg, another of Granny, and then we have baptism photos. Parents & Godparents (Uncle Greg & Aunt Kendra), Mommy quieting Alex, and the whole group at the church. First to be caught napping was Greg, followed promptly by Alex. (Surprised? Didn't think so!)
