Grandma Linda!

Yes, there was a London visitor...and boy was it fun. We played, went to tea, toured an enchanted palace, ate, sang, read....it was wonderful.
Oh, and we wore hats. (She is a grandma after all, she brought three over!)

..and gloves...


Thanks, Sally!


And there were lots and lots of kisses!

Ahhh.

the days of the bouncy chair. Relaxing times...
(vintage Alex below)



Now, he's all about action.



And yogurt! On his head!

Sleepin' well...

Is it because of the sac?
Just like Leah seen here!
As for winterizing it (per Mindy's comment on 'threeisthenewtoo')-- a onesie will do-- he's wearing yammers underneath that!



He's free! let's play...

Alex cam

I did have a request from someone for a 24 live stream of Alex...but since that's not happening, below is a variety of videos! (long durations, short durations , some with plots, without plots...)

I'm still standing. yea, yea, yea.


Alex is on the move.



Trouble...so quickly.



Another new development-- swings with Ellie! (and old development-- drool!)

Lost episodes...

of Alex. Not really lost like those Honeymooner episode- it's not like I found them in a cobwebbed chest. I knew where these were just saving them for a rainy day. Not raining (!) but here.

Beach day! Pre-umbrella gate.


Horseplay!


Of course, the highlight here is the cousin interaction but also, Grandma's story of bringing four pairs of pants to Vermont - that she didn't wear! FOUR. Vermont.

Oh, geez...Part II

Since being back from the States, Alex gets into trouble! Yes, that's right, half his body is under the sofa! Zoinks!

But with a face like that, you can't be mad.

Oh, geez...

Here we go again! We had another Stateside visit and covered the usual locales (and some new ones!): Long Island/Westchester/Brooklyn/Manhattan/Vermont/Massachusetts and EVEN Connecticut (don't ask). We visited old haunts, new haunts and had a fabulous time.

A lot good times as seen below. We're back now in London and I do like that I was under the impression that on Tuesday morning (after getting in at 10pm) that Alex and I would make his first music class....alas, we can make it up another time. But nice try, crazy lady.

Straight to the beach! We're on holiday! Let's get this party started...


Seems to have started....



Together again!
