The latest force dragging Alex helplessly around the house is the desire, ney the need, to play with shoes.
Our house is cluttered with toys... you can barely navigate the maze without stubbing a toy or impaling your foot on a Weeble (the damn things never fall down!). But Alex will crawl past every book, ball, & bauble to get at any carelessly discarded footwear.
We usually let her enjoy herself until she starts to eat them... which takes all of 20 seconds. So, if you are pondering about a present to get the little scavenger, skip it... just come over to visit and take off your shoes. She'll be ex tactic.

JUST HOPE THAT SHE STICKS WITH SHOES AND DOES'NT MOVE ON TO DIRTY SOCKS...
Alright including Alex I am now convinced that all babies have teamed up with the toy companies to see how dumb parents can be. We keep buying toys that are exciting for a minute only to be passed over for a shoe/box/spoon etc...but then when we say no more toys, we buy more. Because just maybe, the next toy will be different.
Alex is cute, I'm just excited that Alex is now mobile to find all of the fun things that aren't toys. Have fun!
Sounds like we need to get that girl some shoes of her own! Mary Jane's, pumps, slides, mules, peep toe, cowgirl boots . . . bring em on!
