May 23, 2009 Dear Alex

Dear Alex,
You're nine months old today. You're a happy boy who seems to want to grow up quickly -- to do whatever your brother is doing. You're crawling, you're using whatever you can find to stand up and you're constantly looking around to find your brother. You've also started taking baths with your brother -- and your mama or papa who hold you up.

Sometimes your mama and I think we had twins two years apart. You two look alike and play alike. Many nights or mornings you two wake up at the same time.

Of course, you also are your own person. You have a quick smile that lights up the room and you are determined to get what you want. The only time your brother gets a bit annoyed with you is when you take whatever he is playing with.
