Alex and I have enjoyed our last week together before I am back at work full-time. \u00a0Yes, I have had to go into work a lot this month, but this week is officially the week before the students come back. \u00a0It is time to make sure all my ducks are in a row and ready for this year’s group of sophomores.<\/p>\n

So, what did we do this week? \u00a0Since I had to go into work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday — not much. \u00a0We mostly spent the time we had together relaxing at home. \u00a0We did get to go swimming with some friends in Richardson. \u00a0Here is a picture of us. \u00a0There are more under the photos tab.<\/p>\n

We also introduced green beans to Alex. \u00a0He doesn’t like them as much as sweet potatoes and bananas. \u00a0Here is his face after his first bite:<\/p>\n

Because he is sitting up so well, I put Alex in his rocking chair for the first time. \u00a0You might not know this, but this rocking chair is very special. \u00a0It was hand-made by my mother’s grandfather. \u00a0My mom used it, her brother and sister used it; my sister and I used it; my three cousins used it; Alex’s older cousin, Bella used it. \u00a0And now, it is Alex’s turn. \u00a0I have to say it still looks new.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alex also has a new skill: pulling up! \u00a0I have to say I am excited about this one. \u00a0He isn’t supposed to be pulling up until he is 9 months old. \u00a0I am trying not to get too excited. \u00a0I know there are plenty of things that he is “supposed” to do at a certain time that he won’t do on time, but I can’t help but be a little proud of my boy. \u00a0Here are some of the various shots of him pulling up on different things:<\/p>\n
