Yours looks better than mine!

Did I mention that Alex is a little dare devil?! Earlier this week he learned a new trick. He can now get himself from a laying position into a sitting position. Add that to his new love of pulling himself up onto anything stable enough to do that on (or sometimes not stable enough) and you have a child that can go from laying to standing. Great accomplishment - congrats Alex.

Being the quick study he is, today he decided to try a new trick. So, at nap time today, he was practicing his lay down/sit up/stand trick. He kept getting excited once he was up and standing. Dawn kept laying him back down (so he'd sleep). Well, one time when she went up to lay him back down, she noticed he wasn't in his crib. In fact, he was in Nick's crib, giggling. That's right, the baby stood up and tumbled over the side of his own crib, into his brother's bed (remember, they are pushed up next to each other). I guess he was tired of his crib (he's had the same one since birth, but his brothers got new ones). He decided he wanted to check out his other options.

Needless to say, I lowered his mattress this evening. I give him a week or so to figure out how to crawl/climb up that!
