Well, I guess I have officially become a "blogger". Why, you ask? Well, it all comes down to this: sometimes, I am bored. Mind you, most of my day is busy: diapers, feedings, tummy time, dogs, laundry, dishes . . . the list goes on and on. But there are those hours when Alex is sleeping, and I've done enough housework to get by, and I don't feel like reading or working on my scrapbook, and I just feel like talking to someone. So, I will use my voice to reach all of you through this blog. Not only will it help me let out the joys and frustrations of my life as a new mom, but it will allow you to keep up with the moments and milestones of Alexander's life. I know many of you wish you could see more of him, and you wonder what he is up to each day. Well, now you can check in to see exactly what is happening here on Boomerang Drive. Now, this blog will certainly not be updated daily -- you don't have time to read that, I don't have time to write it, and frankly one day around here is not much different from the next. But there are certainly parts of each day that are worthy of documentation, so this is will be just the place for that.
This weekend's new milestone? Alex is sitting up! I have been
WA
ITING for this! Able to sit up and play with a toy, but not yet able to crawl around getting into everything -- PERFECT! Can we push the pause button on this please? Either that or just skip to age 8 (the age when Alex will be the perfect, easy going, low maintenance kid). We do need to stay near him -- he can definitely flop over -- but he can stay up for a few minutes at a time if he feels like it. This has brought a new dimension to his play time, because he doesn't just have to lie there on his back anymore. He can sit up, reach forward, and play with his toys. New favorites include his toy telephone ($1 yard sale purchase!) and his Laugh and Learn puppy (Christmas present -- as if the two puppies we have aren't enough!)So that's what's up on Boomerang Drive this weekend!

Welcome to the blogging world! I am also located in PA :)
Thanks for doing this Holly but I hope I will still get daily email(s)from you.
Love this! It will be nice to see what my soon to be famous nephew is doing until I can actually meet him. This does not, however, mean you will not be responsible for a Chronicle article this year!
I love your poll. Jack said "Mama" first, but just as a babble word, without really knowing what it meant. Now, though, he's all about "Dada". I still voted Mama...I'm pulling for you! :)
This is great as we don't get to see him as often as we would like.
He will change so fast now that he is sitting and able to entertain himself more. Get ready for the next phase. Baby gates and keep the dog food out of reach. Your Dad told you about Jenn's episode with Reese. Can't wait to see you guys on Thursday.
My mother makes it sound like I had a bad episode with Reese-- she just wanted to taste the dog food and she like it-- Hey it is cheaper then baby food! Just kidding, anyway it is so funny to see pictures of Alex with his toys. Without even knowing it I think him and Reese have the same of everything. Reese calls me dada, I don't think she knows what she is saying. Reese use to do the abs of steel move to, I often wondered how she did it. It sounds like Alex is doing great, right on track!!!
