suspicious

Alden taking his first stroll in the stroller. We took a walk around the block and got to see some horses, who seemed very excited it was spring and ran around in circles. The weather is getting warmer and I am hoping the snow in our back yard will be melted by this weekend.
More guest pictures from the weekend. Lydia , Alden and Ben.
This is the great dinner Ben and Lydia made as a pre-birthday treat for Ilana
Alden seems to be getting fussier these days. For the past week he has been complaining quite a bit. No major melt-downs or outbursts, but there is a growing level of grumbling we don't quite know how to reconcile. My suspicion is that he is getting smarter and has made it past the communicating needs stage and is experimenting with communicating wants. I have no idea when this is supposed to happen on the developmental time line, but something is afoot, and it appears to go beyond just wanting to be clean, warm, fed and rested... suspicious.

He is getting quite active these days.
