We're on the official countdown to moving day. Our house is boxed up and looking pretty empty. It's kinda depressing, actually, to look around at the bare walls and boxes everywhere. But we're getting closer...just one more week of this craziness! Woohoo!! Alex knows something's going on and is confused by all the boxes. But he's using them to his advantage to climb on, sit in and store his trucks so he's happy.

He's definitely turning into a big boy these days. He's talking a lot and tries to repeat words after us. He can nail some hard words like "squirrel" and 2-3 word phrases like "lawn mower" and "I love you." He's a smart little guy and knows just what he wants. He can't always say it but he shows us by bringing us our shoes when he wants to go outside or pounding the cabinet door where we keep his sippy cups to tell us he's thirsty. But when we can't figure out what the Alex Man wants, that's when he gets mad and throws his fit. It's frustrating for both of us at times! He's such an easy-going toddler and finds a way to lighten things up in the house when we start getting stressed with the move.
