Look who is grabbing his foot?!?! For some reason he consistently prefers grabbing his left foot - mommy is hoping this means he will be a lefty.

Crab season

We went to Fisherman's Wharf on Sunday to get crab, fresh off the boat! Alex was sceptical, naturally, being a native-born son - a San Franciscan going to the Wharf, by choice? Huh? Anyway, mom and dad discovered it was well worth it - the crab really is better than that from the local market (i.e. Andronico's). More expensive, yes, but tastier! We'll be making that trip again.

Visit to the de Young

Alex, meet Wayne.

Hi.

Hanging with Matthew

The Willard's visited the Howard's tonight - to eat Chinese food and trim the Xmas tree. We never got to the tree, but we did have some fine food.

Alex is 4 months old today. What a difference a couple of months will make - look at Matthew in these pics, only a couple months older, but already so advanced!

Here are a couple of pics from our house as well, including one with Alex sitting in front of our tree!

Christmas time!

Alex got his first tree today - a perfect Douglas fir. It was a tough choice between Noble and Douglas, but we are confident with our choice.

Recent pics

We've neglected the blog for the past couple of weeks. Here are a few shots from Napa during Thanksgiving, visiting Bridget in SJ with her new daughter Nina, and in the City (with Ale, and wearing his strawberry knit cap)!

Alex and Mom are doing well. He continues to have funky sleep patterns, waking a couple of times / night. But overall he is awesome! We feel so lucky to have been blessed with the cutest baby ever. What are the odds?!?!
