alexander james: seventeen months


i blinked and it happened again.. alexander is now seventeen months old!

during the past month he:

-started to do things when you ask
-cut two more top teeth... they are everywhere!!!
-pointed at things he wants and yells mum! mum!
-started to listen and act
-always brings his baby shark toy to everyone so we can press it and make it sing
-waves his hand up and down to music “like a chinese cat” the older kids say
-uses the laundry cupboard for a hidey hole
-closes himself in places and says bye bye. bye bye!
-grins, clenches his teeth and squints his eyes as if it makes him look cuter.
-constantly waves bye bye
-picks up the old mobiles that we use as toy phones and puts them to his ear and says bye bye bye bye!!!
-loves bluey and hey duggee and dances away to their songs
-loves his colour mixing cement truck toy. he always looks for it so he can bop away to the tune it plays
-loves having twinkle twinkle little star sang to him before bed. all three (with some possibly made up) verses hahaha

twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky
twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are

when the blazing sun is gone,
when it nothing shines upon
when you shine your little light
twinkle twinkle through the night
twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are

alex i love you so much
that is why i sing as such
now it's time for you to sleep
i pray the lord your heart will keep
twinkle twinkle little star
how i wonder what you are

i love you my little twinkling star
