Training

Alstan is already working on his ball handling skills so he can become a point guard. Look at him already dribbling a ball in that first video. In a month or so I'll work on him only dribbling with one hand:)

Seriously though, he does love his ball. He throws it around and kicks it all over the house.

Helping Out

I'm so happy to see Alstan helping with dishes already. I really don't like doing dishes. By winter I'm going to have him shoveling snow. He really likes his toy rake and toy lawnmower so it'll be just like pushing those.

Music Time

Alstan has lots of songs that we listen to. He loves to dance and clap his hands to the music. I think he's already got more rhythm than his Mom and Dad combined!

Pan Symbols

Oh, the joys of this new discovery. Alstan loves to walk around banging lids or pans together that he finds in the kitchen. While it's cute on video, it can take a toll after 10 minutes or so.

Bouncing

Alstan still loves to bounce around, but now it's more fun to do it on legs or get thrown on the bed instead of being in his bouncer.

Lots of Video

I've been very behind on posting, but I'm putting up lots of video tonight. The first one is Alstan eating frozen fruit.

Dishes

Alstan started helping doing the dishes with Mom today. He loves playing in the water and the bubbles too.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt - Slideshow

We had a beautiful day for an Easter egg hunt, and Alstan did a great job of collecting eggs. I'm not sure who had more fun, Alstan or Mom. He had plastic eggs with Nilla Wafers inside. He also liked the regular eggs that the others collected. He wanted to feel the soft part of the broken eggs.

Click on the play button to watch all the action. There is also a full screen button in the bottom right hand corner.

Chillin'

After a long day sometimes Alstan just needs to sit back and relax for a few minutes, well, maybe a few seconds is enough. I added a photo of when we first got the beanbag too. Look how much our little guy is growing. The first image was from 18 weeks.

Alstan's Most Huggable Cousin

Alstan just loved to give hugs and kisses to his cousin Darian every time he saw him over Easter weekend.

Bubbles

Alstan playing with bubbles in the bathtub with Aunt Nette.

Biking

Here's Alstan trying to ride Dad's bike before his trip. Dad spent two days biking to Fond du Lac, while Alstan took two hours riding in the car with Mom for Easter weekend.

Sleeping

Here comes lots of new pictures. The first one is Alstan sleeping with mom and his helicopter.

6-12 Month Video

Here is the next big video for Alstan! It's the 6-12 month video and is about 10 minutes so be patient (or wait until you see me to see the higher quality version).

If you want to see the two videos together you can go to the 0-6 month video first: First Feature Film
