The Sturgeons in Hawaii: August 2011

Wow...I can't believe that it has almost been two months since I've logged on and written a blog post. I don't know where the time has gone...well, actually, I do...to work, grad school, caring for Alex, trying to squeeze in a little quality time with Justin and of course SLEEP!

I don't even know where to begin so I'll try to just give some highlights from the past two months.
Well...Alex turned six months on June 29, 2011. Since then he has been becoming more and more mobile. He gets up on all fours now and trys to crawl forward although his preferred method is still the "army" crawl.

Alex has enjoyed getting to spend some time in the ocean and pools this summer (although not nearly as often as you would think living in Hawaii). We are looking at starting him on Parent/Tot swim lessons at the YMCA in October. It is more of an experience with water safety and being comfortable in the water. He already loves being in the water but I think knowing some safety procedures can't hurt!

Alex enjoyed celebrating another first birthday for our teacher group. Zach was the first one to have a birthday in April, then Makenzie just turned one in August. The next few months will be busy with Dylan in September, Mia in November, and Joseph (in Texas) and Alex turning one in December.

Alex just turned 8 months on August 29, 2011. He is a busy little guy now! He is putting "everything" in his mouth but still hasn't sprouted a tooth yet...probably soon since you can feel something when you rub his lower gums with your finger.

Here are a few pictures from the past two months...I'll try to be better at blogging (especially with all the fun holidays around the corner) but no promises ;)
