14 Months OldThis past month will go down in family history as the month that Alex finally started walking. Up until now, he would take a step or two, but that was it. Suddenly, one day, he just took off. He's been spotted toddling up to 12 feet at a time, and he's picking up speed. He looks a bit like a penguin because he puts his legs far apart and sways from side to side as he walks. But he definitely prefers it to crawling, and he only crawls now if he needs to go long distances quickly. |

Alex shows off his new walking ability. |

Alex spends a good part of his morning sitting on the top of the couch and watching out the front window. |
"OK, I've got Buford all ready for his walk now..." |
Just woke up from a nap and is very upset about it. |
A minute later, though, he's all smiles. |
Riding in his new hiking-style backpack. |
Mmmmm, meatballs. (Alex's first two molars are coming in, so he can chew quite a few "big people" foods now). |
