Ladies Man

Saturday was very busy for Alex. He got to see most of his immediate family!

Saturday morning it was the Carrs. Unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts, he did not get a nap but did get a great pirate boat from Gramps (which he loves!). So he was a bit cranky.

In the afternoon, Abuelos saved us from too cranky Alex. We went for a walk and Alex met a playmate, Jada. Jada was a little 15m girl who had a great time with Alex. They both liked to run, hug, kiss and generally follow each other around. It was adorable! In the picture, they were playing peek-a-boo.

Nov. to Fairfield

I know I have been REALLY bad at blogging but here's the November picture/update. Before Thanksgiving, Pat had pneumonia and I broncitis. Thankfully, Alex stayed healthy. Then, on Thanksgiving, we went to Pat's Uncle Joe and Aunt Joan's house in NJ where Alex LOVED chasing Delancy around the house. After a nice evening there, Alex and I drove to visit my family in Fairfield while Pat stayed and studied.
While in Fairfield, Thursday night, Alex spiked a fever of 102. Luckily, motrin, tylenol and running around in a diaper at 2am helped bring that down. After that, he did well during the day and visited with the Donaldsons on Friday. Saturday, he ran a fever all day and learned to climb out of the pack 'n' play. Needless to say, he did not get a nap. So on the drive home, he slept from Gettysburg to Lancaster and then screamed to Aston. It was great... However, that Monday, we went to the Doctor's and he said it was just a cold... go figure...

7-5

Today Pat starts his new job with the Federal Court System. He had to get up earlier but hopefully everything else will go well for the next few weeks.

Other than that, Alex has been cranky. I don't know if has been the rainy weather or teething but he is not his happy self. Since he was soo cranky, I decided to take him for his blood tests before his nap. I figured if he was already cranky, having blood drawn would not hurt the situation. Thankfully everything went great and Alex, besides whining, was fine.

Now it is nap time and I have a chance to catch up on emails, work on Keystone stuff, and maybe RELAX!
