alan's new blocks

there has been some time since my last post - i had been too sick with my 1st trimester pregnancy to do anything other than vomiting and sleeping.  but i should record some progress of alan's growth and development as soon as i feel well enough.

so above is the block that alan built by himself a few weeks ago.  isn't that quite a step from his first block (see post here)?  i'm a proud mom!

here the smaller block is built by dad bryan.  em... i guess he has some catchup to do.  lol.

building a few blocks

we bought alan a bucket containing100 pieces of building blocks.  i had difficulty building anything at the beginning, a matter of lacking imagination i guess. 

but after a while, i managed to build this little thing above.  it's my first building block in over twenty years, or if my memory didn't fail me (as i can't recall the last time i ever played with building blocks), it could very well be the first building block i ever built in my life!  wow.

as alan knocked down my first building, i quickly built a second smaller one.  this looked like a robot though.  :)

with some encouragement, alan started to stack up some blocks, too.  here he had three, and i remembered that he made it to five or six.  could this be considered his first built block?
