Happy Birthday to our Little Boy

Just a quick post to say Happy 1st Birthday from mommy and daddy to our little boy. Hard to believe it's been a year already but it has and it's been the best year of our lives so far by a land slide. Everyday is better than the last and we look at each day with excitement because you really never know what you he has in store for you until your laughing about it with friends or family afterwards.
Happy Birthday Alexander!
Love Mommy and Daddy

New Foods continued...

A few more images of Alexander enjoying some new foods. All of which are extremely messy of course.


Banana


Cherry Popsicle


Spaghetti


Peanut butter and Fluff sandwich.....his favorite so far....and of couse its the messiest. I think we have as much fun watching him eat them as he does eating them.

Trying new things......yum!

Lately Michele and I have been experimenting with Alexander and new foods. For all of you with children or at least access to them you know from experience that there aren't to many things more funny that a little one trying certain foods for the first time. So far, pork chops, pasta and chocolate cake were a hit. I think each time Alexander tries something new I'll try to post the pics. If the faces aren't funny enough the mess he makes usually is.

Slacker!!















I'm sure that is probably what most of you are thinking at this point after 2 whole months of NO updates! Ugghh!! I know it's horrible but truthfully I have very good reason. For the last 2 months I (josh) have been studying relentlessly for my Real Estate licensing exam. typically 2+ hours a night so that is pretty much where all my free time has gone so if anyone is looking to buy or sell or could just use some friendly advice, I'll be getting licensed very shortly.
So I know this blogging thing doesn't/shouldn't take that long to do if you keep it basic but when weeks go by as fast as they have been it's nothing to lose a whole month without a single update. For cripe sakes Alexander is already nearing 8 months old!! hard to believe I know.
Anyway.....so what's new with the little man you may ask. Well as of February 11th he became partially mobile. That's right.........


CRAWLING!!! OMG!!! All you parents out there, I'm sure can relate to how soon you realize you need to get your house baby-proofed ASAP once you little one(s) start to crawl. You put them down and then leave the room real quick and when you come back to where you left them they somehow managed to fall in vast facination with the most dangerous or unstable or most expensive and fragile item in the room and are B-lining towards it. Time to break out the baby gates!

So developmentally, Alexander is doing great and is learning new things a scary pace. He actually took a couple of unassisted steps last night from Michele to me and then back. Nothing to extraordinary but 2 or 3 good clean steps before toppling over. Then it hit me lit a brick to the head. OMG, he's moves quick enough on all four's nevermind walking or even running. Size wise not to sure how tall he is exactly but I think about 25" and weighs about 20lbs so to put that in perspective, Michele will be borrowing his sneakers in about 3 months or so. LOL.
