New job + work around the house = really busy Dad. Only have time to post some more pictures... Hope you are all doing well.

Video #2... His talents don't stop at walking. He is also the Sunday paper's worst nightmare.

I'm not sure how well this will work but I thought we would try a new trick on the blog... video!!! The picture is pretty bad due to lack of light (and a camera person who hasn't figured out all of the bells and whistles on the new video camera). Regardless, give it a try and we will see how well it works.

Alvin has been walking pretty good for the last few weeks so we thought it would be fun to show everyone his progress. Good news - he is learning to catch himself and avoid any major crashes. Bad news - he is really mobile now with the walking and crawling so Mom and Dad can't look away for long without wondering where he went. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing great and look forward to seeing/talking to everyone soon...

This weekend Uncle Matt, Aunt Kelli and Aaron came over to spend the night and hang out... Alvin has learned that he isn't a big fan of sharing his toys yet but Aaron was a good sport and brought some of his own.

Bathtime is getting more entertaining... He has learned that splashing Mommy is really fun and now you can all see what he looks like when his hair is under control (which is rare).

A lot has happened since our last update so here comes a bunch of photos...

First, Alvin had a rough time while Dad was out of town for work. He was coughing pretty bad and the Dr. wasn't sure if he was experiencing minor symptoms of asthma or just a little case of bronchitis. Either way, he needed some breathing treatments for about a week. Fortunately, Grandma Lauer and Aunt Katie were coming to visit so Mommy had some extra help...

Looks like he was up working late again. Notice the training binders on the desk in the background... Time to step it up and bring some productivity to this organization.

Here are a couple shots of Alvin in his PJs hanging out with Molly...

Go Blue!!!

We had Dad, Jamie, Christy, Austin and Ashley over to the house the other day for dinner (and a friendly dart competition). Alvin was pretty happy to see everyone and apparently playing with Uncle Jamie is tiring because he fell asleep twice while Jamie was holding him.

And in case anyone is wondering who won the dart game... Sorry Dad and Jamie, Christy and I will take it easy on you next time.
