Alex has learned where his fascial feature are including his eyes, ears, teeth, tongue, and - as he's showing you in this picture - his nose. He even knows where it is while wearing a garment bag.
Here Alex and his cousin Jon are the morning of one of our trips to La Crosse.
Alex and Jon had so much fun playing in the leaves.
Here we are at the petting zoo - Alex got to pet bunnies, donkeys, chickens and ducks, and llamas.
Alex is amazingly gentle with animals. He even managed to pick up a chicken all on his own - we were a little scared he'd squeeze too tight, but the chicken didn't seem to mind.
We let Alex pick out a pumpkin that was just his size - it's the little one right in front of him. He would carry it all thoughout the house, and even pretended that his pumpkin was taking a nap by wrapping him up and laying him in his makeshift "crib", (which is the floor space underneath our kitchen stools).
This was a hail storm that we had one evening - D.J. was actually driving home and there were a few cars that ended up in the ditch because of it.
Alex had a lot of fun this Halloween, carving pumpkins and seeing all the kids come trick-or-treating at the door. 
He wasn't quite sure what to think about the pumpkin guts, but enjoyed helping Daddy and was so excited when the pumpkin had eyes, a nose and mouth.
Alex loves phones, but it's especially cute when he sits in his chair and has pretend conversations with GG, Papa, or his friend Jonah.
Alex loves to color and will sit and color while Mama is making dinner - and sometimes we join in too.
