\u00a0I wouldn&#8217;t technically say that he is walking yet, but he can take 2-6 steps independently depending on how excited he gets. \u00a0It has been a ton of fun watching him examine his world from a new angle.<\/p>\n<p>Alex is also trying to imitate more sounds. \u00a0He still isn&#8217;t associating his sounds with objects, but boy does he talk up a storm! \u00a0He has also started imitating other things like smacking his lips, sticking out his tongue, and touching your nose with his finger.<\/p>\n<p>He still loves throwing the ball back and forth. \u00a0Alex will also play chase; although, he prefers to be the one being chased rather than the chaser. \u00a0In addition, he has started &#8220;dancing&#8221; to music. \u00a0He sways back and forth or bounces up and down depending on the music. \u00a0It is adorable.<\/p>\n<p>We went to the Dallas Arboretum this past week with some friends and got some cute pictures. \u00a0They still had their pumpkin decorations up and Alex loves playing with pumpkins.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ivy-witter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Arboretum-Pumpkins.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-193\" title=\"Arboretum Pumpkins\" src=\"https:\/\/ivy-witter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Arboretum-Pumpkins-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ivy-witter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Arboretum-Pumpkins-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ivy-witter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Arboretum-Pumpkins-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although Alex has tried a plethora of foods by now, his favorites remain bananas, yogurt, and sweet potatoes. \u00a0He got a couple of bites of real mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes today and loved them both!
