Walking his dog

Alex LOVES dogs. He is so excited every time we see one outside walking. So, his uncle Chris got him a toy dog for Christmas which he thoroughly enjoys walking around the house.

Christmas

We had a very nice Christmas this year with family and friends. It was fun to see what a first Christmas is like for children. Alex was spoiled!! But it was a lot of fun to see him open his new toys.

Hard to believe he will be a year old next week. He's is walking everywhere, says "Uh-oh", "daddy", (haven't heard "mommy" in awhile) and "cheese". He can wave bye-bye and when he smiles he shows off his two bottom teeth and two top teeth. He loves music and singing and thinks it's lots of fun to go swimming with his dad at the pool in our building. He also enjoys listening to books and when he's ready for action loves to be chased around the apartment.

Here is a video of him kicking a cooler around the house. Too funny!!

playing, crawling, having fun!

Summer Fun

This summer Alex has been a traveling boy. He has been to Seattle, Mackinac Island, Grand Rapids, Grosse Pointe, Chicago, and then back to Seattle again. Thank goodness he is a good traveler! There have also been a few firsts this summer-almost crawling, first cold, first Air Show, first County Fair, and his first tooth popped through on Sunday.
