Go "Cat" the generator!

Alexander was super excited today because his generator arrived!  We nicknamed it "Cat" (a shortened version of the name on its side).  Now... if, or we should say 'when', we lose power... he'll be warm, have light, and can get a bottle heated up versus using the backpacking stove.  Today we were home-bodies and took a snooze downstairs and went outside with Titus for a while.  Our little guy has such long legs that his winter fleece outfit is almost too short... time for 9 month size (and he's just over 5 months).  Tonight Alexander played with his playmat from Joyce and Daryl... and was kicking up a storm as he grabbed the hanging ball and made the fishes play music and swing around.  He's also been watching Titus in action and laughs when he sees him.  Alex even reaches out for Titus with his two hands (we're always close, don't worry.)  Titus sometimes turns his head away and other times just looks up at us or gives Alex a lick.  Our day wasn't super eventful... it's good to have days like today.
