A Visit and the Park

Dan's sister, Sarah, was able to come visit us for a day last week, on her way to Australia. She hadn't met Alex yet, just seen him on Skype.

While she was here, we went to the park.

Alex had his first time in the swing.

I love this one. His little mouth is so cute.

He looks happy here, but for the most part, he was pretty emotionless as he sat in the swing. When we first pushed the swing, very softly, his face was so funny and startled, as he obviously wasn't expecting his seat to move. It was pretty funny.

Even though Sarah's visit was short, Anna had a ton of fun with her. She was so nice to sit and play with Anna. Anna loved it. After Sarah, left, she kept asking where she was. After spending a day with her, she started calling her grandma. It was pretty funny. We're so glad she was able to visit us.

A little update on Alex. He is rolling around all over the place and able to move a ton. Here in this picture, I had originally placed him by the small green carpet and a few minutes later, this is where he ended up. He goes on his tummy all the time now and pushes his arms up. I bet he's going to start crawling in the next month or so. I don't know if I'm quite ready for that, but oh well. :) Just this morning, I was playing the piano and he was about 6 feet away from me. I played for a minute, turned around and he was about 3 feet from me. I played a bit more, then turned to see him and he was right next to the piano bench. It was pretty funny, every time I turned around, he had moved. Kind of like, red light, green light.

Here is a picture that Anna drew. She is getting better and better with her drawings.
