For Christmas, Mom took Alex up to Grand Marais for two weeks (Dad joined us after one "bachelor break week") and enjoyed working remotely for the first time. All the grandmas and grandpas always have a positive effect on his development, and his vocabulary of babble started to expand along with his gross motor skills. He went from a 50% self-feeding success rate to about 80%. He also became so proficient at crawling that he was able to master stairs (up, not down) in just two weeks! He also had the advantage of meeting Uncle Tony for the first time since June, and of course, he had a lot of laughs. Uncle Alex and his fiancee Louise also got to visit with him and hold him - he's a lot more interesting and less fragile than June, so everyone had a good old time. Here's a shot of his joy in wrapping paper, one of Tony making him laugh, and documentation of the stair mastery. His first New Year's was a success... he fell asleep before midnight and Mom stayed up later!
