Helping Out...

Alex got to do all kinds of fun things last week. He had his first trip to the fair where he got to see lots of animals and he enjoyed watching the lights and hearing the sounds from the rides. He got to go and see his friends Samuel and Daniel in Indiana and see their new house. Alex got to go to the Ashland/Hillsdale football game and he got to help his dad pick up stuff in the yard before Kevin mowed the yard. He also had his first bubble bath tonight. He was a little unsure of the bubbles at first, but eventually he dove right in! I have included a few pictures of Alex from the last week for all of you to enjoy.

Playing Outside

Alex loves to play outside! I snapped some pictures the other day of him doing that. He was playing with his car, throwing grass, rocks and seed pods and playing with sticks. We have had beautiful weather for being outside the last few days, so we have tried to take advantage of it. Alex is learning the name of his body parts, including head, eyes, mouth, and many others! He is really trying to talk and we think he will get many more words over the next few months. We are going to go to the county fair this week, so I will try to snap some pictures, because I am sure he will enjoy the animals and rides. We have been very busy meeting more new people and playing with our new friends. Alex has really settled into his new house and Hobbes loves it too! Fall is just around the corner and I am excited for Alex's first Trick-or-Treat and visiting family and friends back home. I have included some pictures of Alex playing outside for you below!

It has been a while...

Sorry it has been a while since our last post. Things are going really well. We had a really fun trip to the Toledo Zoo with our friends Leah, Silas and Natalie (I have included some pictures below). We enjoyed a great visit from Grandma and Grandpa Fowler, even if it did rain the whole weekend. Alex is learning how to say more and more words, including kitty, and he understands pretty much everything we say now. He is enjoying meeting new friends and went inside his first McDonalds' Playplace. He had 3 little girls helping him get through the tunnel and to the little toys in there. It was too funny and so cute! He of course loved the attention. We are looking forward to more of our family visiting this fall and getting to travel some ourselves. We don't know what to do with such a short trip. Soon we will be going to get a pumpkin for our Halloween Jack-o-lantern and we still have to find our costume for trick-or-treat, but we will be doing those things soon. Hopefully posts will be more frequent over the next few months and I promise to take some more video soon. Here are some pictures from our recent visit to the Toledo Zoo:
