I love to laugh....ha ha ha ha!!!

Alex has started doing the funniest thing, if he does something that is funny, or if he hears one of us laugh-for any reason, he will laugh. This is not a real laugh, mind you, he has a fake laugh. It is so funny!! It makes us laugh which makes him continue his fake laughter and around and around it goes until either he gets bored or Keith and I are on the floor crying from laughing so hard! He does this screwed up face along with the laughter that makes it even funnier. He is also trying really hard to click his tongue. He gets the motion but no sound, so all you see is his jaw drop in a funny way and his tongue come down, also very funny to watch!

The walking continues and is at the point where he has expectations of me during the day. As soon as he's done nursing, he hops down and then reaches back for my fingers, whether I'm ready to leave the room or not, he's ready to take off, so I better catch up. He's quite displeased when I'm not picking up on his cues to let him lead me somewhere. He is quite the driver too. He is very directive in his walking...there is no pointing him in the direction you'd like to go, it's his inane wandering and agenda. :)  I think I'll be glad when he goes for it on his own.

We went to our neighbors last week for dinner, and on their fridge was a Leap Frog toy that was magnetic. It played songs and had animals you could stick in it to make noises (it was shaped like a barn). He really enjoyed playing with it, so when Keith and I saw it at Walmart on Saturday we decided to pick it up for him as an early birthday present that we can re-wrap later. He is in LOVE with this thing!!! It plays a variety of tunes and Alex will push the button over and over and dance at the fridge or wherever he happens to be. Really cute!
