Great Aunts


Alex's Aunt Katie is visiting from New Orleans this weekend, and having a great time with her little man. Last night, we went to visit Katie and Mike's aunt, Alex's Great Aunt Mary. Doesn't everyone need to have a Great Aunt Mary? I think every baby deserves to have Great Aunts and great aunts like the ones Alex has. Both aunts couldn't get enough of his every move, and who can blame them. Alex was fashionably dressed* and must have taken cute pills before we arrived. He showed off his neat eating skills in the travel chair, then amused himself with Mommy's water bottle while the adults finished eating (Water Bottle video here!).


We then retired to the living room, where Alex was the lucky recipient of two new toys. Much cuteness ensued as Alex played with his new toys, crawled and climbed around the room, and generally was the life of the party. He made a new friend in Buddy. He even showed off what appeared to be a new trick -- a newer version of peek-a-boo! He figured out he could make the adults say "Where's Alex?" by hiding his face on the floor between his hands, then make us all clap like fools and exclaim "There he is!" by then looking up at us. He had the adults occupied for quite a while with that one. Aunt Katie was inspired to test out the video function on her own camera, so we managed to capture that cuteness too. This was the tail end of the routine, and it was still quite funny. Enjoy. We did!

I really am amazed by just how gorgeous your kid is. I know everyone is supposed to say that about babies, but your kid is really amazingly good-looking. What great photos!
