Things have been busy here, as usual. Alex is growing up so quickly and talking up a storm. When we're out with him, he tends to be pretty shy and reserved, but at home, or in the car with us, it's non-stop chatter. At times it's like a running monologue of everything he's doing, and at other times, he'll get excited about something and that's ALL he'll talk about for what feels like hours and days on end.
He's still a pretty good natured little guy, but we are seeing signs of some typical two/three-year-old behaviours, but thankfully usually only when he's tired, hungry or sick with a bug.
There are days when we feel like we're living with CONFLICTO - THE WONDER CHILD! No matter what you say, he wants to do something different, and he can't even seem to make up his own mind, so we sometimes get a lot of "yes... want to go downstairs, no... want to go outside, no... want to stay inside, yes... want to go outside, no... don't like that" etc. We know it's a normal stage of his development and we're enjoying the fact that he's learning to express himself and his emotions... but it can also be exhausting as I'm sure anyone with a young child can attest.
The biggest news in our family lately is the addition to our family of a brand new nephew (for Chris and I, and a cousin for Alex). My sister, Jenny, had her baby on April 4 and he's simply adorable. He's named Kian and he's a very calm and alert baby. Alex is curious, but not overly so, but our nieces Sarah and Jennifer have been helping out lots and love having a new baby to take care of.
Kian came home on Easter Sunday, so the Easter Egg hunt was exciting, even though Kian slept or ate through most of it.
I've uploaded some pictures of Alex into the newest Family Album and I promise not to let another four months go by before I put in more new photos.
