Alex has been keeping busy this week, especially during the unseasonably warm weather on Monday. After finding out that our BlueSky Family Club had shut its doors, only a few weeks after buying a membership (bummer!), we decided to meet some of our friends at TotLand Park in Berkeley. It is an awesome park for the kids. They have so many toys for them to play with, including the car, walker and rocking horse, which you see Alex on above. Doesn't he look like a little old man, looking into the mirror to switch lanes in that photo? He had a fun time playing and then we all had a picnic lunch in the park. I guess we will all be meeting at one another's homes during the rainy season, which is too bad, because the club was a great place to meet.
The other day, while getting ready to take Alex and Xena on a walk, I came back in the room and there Alex was, holding onto the leash. Just had to get a shot of that...pretty cute! He has recently learned to open up cabinet doors, which means that we need to get those childproofed. He loves playing on the foam block playset, which we bought this weekend at a neighborhood yard sale. It has a couple of ramps which can be used to climb and then slide down as well as a couple of other shapes to play with.
As you can see from the recently posted video, he continues on his culinary explorations. In the video, David was feeding him bits of a LaFarine chocolate croissant (none of the chocolate, of course). He was very interested, as you can see. We went for dinner at a local Cambodian restaurant on Friday evening and he enjoyed sampling the rice and charbroiled pork. These days his favorites seem to be stewed pears (from the backyard) and yogurt, or baked sweet potatoes, lentils and rice.
He keeps us on our toes, and we love it!
