Standing
Over the past week, Alex has mastered standing "hands-free". On Monday evening I noticed that he was holding onto my shirt without putting any pressure on it, so tested him in the middle of the room. He managed to stand for about 5 secs. As the week has passed, it's just got longer and longer. He's a pro now!

Welcome to Motherhood
On Saturday afternoon we went for a bike ride. It was just a short ride - we went to a toy shop to get Alex a swing. After our shopping we decided to sit in the sun and have some late lunch. I ordered soup (yummy) which came with some rye bread. I broke off the crust because it was covered in seeds and Alex scoffed it down. I pointed out to Duncan that I was left with the crust and his response?

7 and a half months Consultatie Bureau Visit
Last Thursday 27th, we went for our 7.5 month check-up. Alex has put on about 800 grams - he's now 8.91 kg or 19.6 lbs. The weird thing is that he has shrunk (in terms of length) - although that might have just been because there was a different nurse measuring him. In the end, they write down that he's grown half a centimetre.
The nurse was very happy with his progress, developmentally, he's doing fine. She was surprised to see how well he crawls and that he's already pulling himself up. Yay Alex!!

Alex's first bike ride
We joked that Alex's Christmas present was a bike seat and helmet so that he could start going to daycare with Dad on the bike. Well - he got the seat in February, and we finally found a helmet small enough for him to wear. Then we had to wait about three weeks until the weather was fine enough to try them out.
The weather was very changeable over Easter (bright blue sky to snow showers in a matter of minutes), but we managed to find enough sun to go for a ride. Alex took it all in his stride and seemed to enjoy himself.
Since then, he's been to daycare on the bike several times, and in the evening, is so relaxed (and tired) that he often falls asleep on the way home. I guess he's happy on the bike.
