Ryan and I were so excited to spend the weekend with Amy, Andy, and Alex. We haven't seen them since Christmas and I was astounded at how much Alex has grown... and how fast he moves. Alex can easily stand and take several steps, but he must prefer the speed of crawling over teetering on unsteady feet; after just a couple steps, he drops back down to his knees and takes off.

Once everyone had relaxed after the long flight from California, we ventured up the street for some Mexican fare. Alex was so wonderful. He entertained himself for most of the evening by playing with spoons, tortilla chips, and straws. At one point, he was baffled by straw that went missing. It was hilarious.



Saturday was quite adventurous. To treat Alex's lingering ear infection that was triggering sickness, fatigue, and a high fever, we all took a trip to the ER. The hospital was quiet and very nice. They even had a special pediatric ER! With a little sleep and some antibiotics, Alex bounced back in no time.



The weekend was great, but flew by too fast. Now Ryan and I are planning our trip to California!
