Hot, Hot, Hot!

Our spicy chili was the cutest thing around the U Street corridor. We took Alex to a small costume party in the courtyard across the street. And, our hunch that the neighborhood was in the midst of a baby boom was confirmed. Many, many cute young babies and kids with their parents. Here are more pictures of Alex in his halloween costume.

The spitter now sitter

Long known for his spitting up, our Alex should now be lauded for his sitting up. We returned from our friend Alissa's wedding in NJ this afternoon and plopped an energetic (and frustrated from the long car ride) Alex on the floor. He immediately jumped to his knees, rolled back onto his butt and sat there calmly chewing his rattle. He must have been thinking it through on the car ride!

Here's the little guy in his first sit.

Oh ye doubters

I hear that some relegate our reports of Alex's crawling to first parents's exaggeration. Luckily we are children of the digital revolution.

Go Alex, go!

Baptism Weekend (part II)

We took an urban hike to the farmers' market on Saturday morning. And, here's the whole family after the big event. (Alex was sound asleep after all of the excitement.)
