Lately

I've heard the phrase "Life will never be the same again" more since Alex started walking than when he was born. That is deeply, deeply disturbing.

It certainly has been an exciting week. Alex has been teasing us with little spurts of surprise walking every now and again for the past month or so. I think about a week ago he realized the potential of this whole walking thing and started pursuing it in earnest. He is now running.

Here are a few endearing photos from the most recently captured bath.

In this one Alex is looking down the barrel of Joe's video camera. Joe spent a few evenings last week filming us for a short film he's creating for a school project. The purpose of the project is to portray an emotion, which, in Joe's film's case, is loneliness. Joe showed a rough edit of the film to his class. When it was finished no one spoke for a minute, until one young lady offered a profound insight: "That was sad as [heck]."

Bath Time: Look Right Here

Alex has been affectionately dubbed "the Cute" by his uncle Steve.

Bath Time: Cutest

Bath Time: Cute

And here is the Cute looking downright sinister as he brandishes his washcloth:

Bath Time: Cackle of the Archnemesis
