Alexander's first pizza!

Alexander got a special New Year's treat with a slice of Pizza Hut pizza (for the truly anal-retentive amongst us, it was a hand-tossed Supreme!). The slice was run through the Cuisinart so that by the time it was done, it didn't really look like pizza but he didn't seem to care. He liked his slice enough that he was ready for another.

Nah, don't think the boy likes pizza in the slightest. :)

Alexander waves bye-bye...

Apparently the word wasn't enough for the boy so he's added the wave in addition to the phrase to his repertoire. And if there is something cuter than him waving and saying bye-bye, I don't know what it is...

Alexander pulls himself up to stand for the first time...

Alexander pulled himself up to a standing position for the first time today. This isn't the easiest thing to do when the left arm isn't the most cooperative, But stand he did and he put weight on the left leg (though he can occasionally fool you by leaning on the right leg a bit).

We still think he'll learn to walk as a defense mechanism vis-a-vis his big brother...but it is nice to see some positive effects from physical and occupational therapy, nonetheless.
