The last couple of weekends Jen has found Bobsledding on TV and it turns out that Alex is a big fan. I’m not sure what sparked his initial interest but he is really excited about watching the sport. As an aside, I always called the sport was called Bobsledding but it seems that the governing body of the sport, Federation Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobaganning, uses Bobsleigh. It doesn’t really sound right to me though.

Anyway, at the start of the broadcast they were showing the Skeleton and then they went into Bobsledding and Alex was all excited and wanted Jen to build him his own Bobsled. Jen got some used diaper boxes and fashioned a pretty good Bobsled if you ask me. Alex would push his sled with the contestants and then hop in and drive down the course. He even wanted a helmet just like the guys on TV.

	This side of his sled had a USA sign and the other side had a Canada sign. On the front there is a “#1 Alex” sign.

Today we also gave Andrew his first finger food as well some Gerber Zwieback. In these pictures he looks a lot more excited then Alex did the first time we tried “real” food with him but he was still a little suspicious of what we were giving him. He seemed to enjoy it and kept munching at it but he didn’t quite have the hang of the hole chewing thing down yet. (I guess that’s to be expected since this was his first piece of food that needed chewing.)

Update: Just in case anyone was worried, we haven’t yet abonded the Polar Express in favour of Bobsled. We are currently halfway through the movie now.
