- May 30, 2006

June 2 pictures Lunch at Generous George's, visiting with Duncan. June 1 pictures Alex is getting bigger, he doesn't need the newborn headrest for his car seat anymore. See Alex sleep more, nap with Eddie, and be propped up on the couch. Duncan is also visiting us from Manchester. May 31 pictures Just a few of Alex holding his head up - a popular trick now. May 30 pictures Hot again (92 degrees) so Alex stayed inside and practiced holding his head up some more. Memorial Day pictures Went over to the Cahoon's and hung out. Spencer, Mitchell and Natalie (and JD) did the Slip 'N Slide it was so hot (90 degrees!). Alex relaxed on the table. Fun things Alex is doing: holds his head up on his own, smiles some, grabs things with his fist.

Who does Alex look like? JD (Jon) or Z (JD's Dad) or GJ (JD's Mom) ? May 27 pictures Another VERY exciting day. Old Town, lunch at Chadwick's, Carlyle House garden, Tyson's Corner, thai food for dinner - Alex was very good, but we discovered he prefers air-conditioning to humidity. May 26 pictures A big day.
