Here is a video of Alex eating his dinner. He is usually good eating whatever we give him. However, once in a while he is in a bit of a bad mood, and certain foods just don't appeal to him. One thing's for sure -- if he is hungry, the food had better be ready! Don't even think of trying to give him a bite, and then take a bite of your own food for yourself -- that does NOT work!
We have been using Cheerios to buy us a few minutes before and after meals. They have been a huge hit. So we decided, why not try out some baby Goldfish crackers? Well, we now have to put a variety of snacks on his tray, because if it's just Cheerios he will not have it. That makes sense to me, too . . . those Goldfish are yummy!
And that's what's up on Boomerang Drive this week!

A Whole New World
Life is great for Alex, who is now 9 months old! I know, where has the time gone? He is crawling, crawling, crawling. We are noticing that he is no longer happy being confined in a seat, whether the car seat, a high chair, a shopping cart . . . he wants to move! The other day when we were shopping at Target, he was getting quite squirmy in the cart. We had to get him out and let him crawl around the store. He loved it! I just followed behind him to make sure he didn't destroy anything. He is just NOT happy unless he can get out all his energy!
He is discovering that he can crawl from room to room when he's at home. He doesn't have to sit and play with mommy anymore! He loves to crawl into the kitchen. He is very amused by the door of the dishwasher. He push
es down on the door, and it starts to pop back up. Then he pushed it down again . . . I think you see the pattern. It amuses him a lot. He also loves to look out both the front door and the sliding glass door that goes out to the deck. So far, he's not getting into TOO much trouble, but I'm sure that's coming! I don't think he really understands yet what is safe and what is not safe for babies! Fortunately I have outlet covers up, because he crawled right over there the other day and was ready to stick his fingers in the outlets. We will have to keep a close eye on him!

Come to Mama!
Thought everyone would enjoy a video of Little A crawling!
Also, Alex wanted everyone to see what he looks like when he wakes up in the morning. He is showing you his "lambie" which i
s his buddy at bedtime and naptime.
