December, 2002 (Month 19)(images from August 7 to September 5) |
|
As far as we can tell, Alex is developing right on schedule for an 18-month old. She seems to be pretty advanced in the talking arena (she probably has a 100-word spoken vocabulary, and understands far more than that), although she's hesitant to use her vocabulary unless she's very comfortable in her surroundings. (Aunt Kathy, hearing Alex playing with Mommy and Daddy in another room, said that Alex said more in a few minutes with just her parents around then she did the entire weekend with the family around.) But she's walking and running real well, and she really likes danger -- surprises, being thrown up in the air, going down slides -- she's not afraid of much. She also loves musical instruments; it only took her a few tries to understand the harmonica and flute, and her pianos and drums get played all the time. She's very independent, but she's also very affectionate. With other children, she's very aggressive...not in a harmful way -- she's just the one to initiate contact or introduce herself. She's got a very strong personality. This week's pictures are near the bottom of the page (week 4)! |

| The doctor won't pop my elbow out again, right? | I had dinner at my friend David's house... | |
 |
 |
|
| Me, Katie and David tore up the place! | Then we went home, and Mommy put me to bed... | |
 |
 |
|
| Mommy, can I stay up a little longer? | OK, now we're in LA. Here's Uncle Jordan. | |
 |
 |
|
| And there's me and Daddy! | We all went out and played football... | |
 |
 |
|
| I found a berry, and gave it to Unky J. | Let's see if I can find some more! | |
 |
 |
|
| Hey, a horsie! Maybe I can climb a little closer... | I love horses! | |
 |
 |
|
| This is how I'll pose for my school picture. | Anyway, we're about to open presents! | |
 |
 |
|
| Wow! A piano! I love it! | I played for the next hour or so. | |
 |
 |
|
| Even Grandma played with me! | I also got a drum...Grandpa watched me play. | |
 |
 |
|
| Here, Mommy...this one's for you. | I read a book while everyone talked. | |
 |
 |
|
| Then Mommy and I played the piano! | What? You want me to smile, Daddy? | |
 |
 |
|
| OK...how's this? (Pianos are fun!) | Then Grandpa and I went for a walk. | |
 |
 |
|
| First stop: the koi pond! | Grandpa pointed some of his favorites out... | |
 |
 |
|
| And then he gave me some fish food! | I thought about eating it...but the fish seemed hungry. | |
 |
 |
|
| Then we continued our walk in the backyard... | ...it seemed like a long way... | |
 |
 |
|
| ...but then we found the goats! | Hi, goats! (Bye, everyone!) | |

|
| More gifts? For me? | A license plate? What's that for? | |
 |
 |
|
| Let's see...maybe it goes with this big gift. | Yay! My very own wagon! Thanks, Papa! | |
