Alex giving Blake a Thank you hug!!

Alex could not wait for us even to get it out of the box to start playing with his new truck!!

Well Alex had his 1st birthday a couple of Months ago January 9th 2008. I have been really busy and very behind at blogging so this weekend I am going to catch up there are going to be several posts to get everyone caught up!! His birthday Party was a great success he as surround with lots of love, friends and family adn gifts!! My house looks like a Toys R Us store!!!

I can do it!!

As you can see Alex in concentrating very hard he has the look of pure determination which he gets often when he wants something. It is hard to believe he is going to be a year old in less then a month. He weighs 19.50 lbs and he is 27 inches long but no one knows for sure since they can not hold him down long enough to get an accurate measurement. I wanted to thank all of you for your prayers during Alex's testing last month the test came back negative. Thank god and we are still trying to figure out the cause. We will keep you posted!! We wish you all a happy and safe holiday!!

Thanksgiving in North Carolina 2007

Alex and I had quite the whirlwind of a month. We went to Seattle solo the flight there semed very long I recommend a red eye when traveling with a toddler cross country back home was much smoother. Then for a 14 hour car ride to North Carolina for Thanksgiving a day later. We were quite busy but we had fun seeing everyone.

Alex and his Aunt Amanda

Dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe in Seattle

Alex got a shinny new red soccer ball courtesy of Uncle Danny they had a great time playing with it in the restaurant and I am still not sure who had more fun.

Alex at his great grandparents house in Seattle

Great grandma got Alex some warm clothes for his arrival in Seattle and he was happy to model them. He also learned from great grandpa about horsey rides which he loves.
