Just more of the same...

(*Finally, the audio works!) We got to go and visit our families this weekend and had a great time! I have included some pictures of our visit and a couple of recent videos too. It seems like Alex is learning something new everyday. Today he sat for a couple of hours (off and on) and just built stuff with his Megablocks (Giant Legos for those who may not know). He was happy to get his car books back and we have made up for lost time reading them.

Here is Alex playing with Grandma's "Easter Bunny". He loves this thing and we have to play it a dozen times every time we visit. He loves how the tail moves.

This is a short video of Alex cracking himself up. He just started laughing. It was really cute. This went on for a little while. I think he was laughing at me, saying "Mom, don't you ever put that thing down?"

Here are just a couple of cute pictures of Alex I have taken over the last few days. There are a bunch more posted on the Picasa site, but here are a couple I liked of our growing boy!

Just smiling for mom.


Am I not the most handsome thing you have ever seen?

Playing Chase

Sorry this took so long to post. User error. I spent most of the day reading to Alex as usual, but he and Dad had some fun playing chase this evening. Kevin and Alex chased each other for about half an hour tonight. It was really cute! I have included a video (sorry, I took it with my camera) of some of the fun.

Here is a picture of Alex trying in my sunglasses last night. He thought it was hilarious and we went back and forth putting them on for about 15 minutes.



I just thought this one was cute. This is what he does just before he takes off when we are chasing him. He ran himself ragged tonight.

No Better Time

I figure there is no time like the present to start a Blog for our family. I hope to keep our friends and family updated on the big and small things of our life while including pictures of Alex! I know that is the real reason most people will visit the site. It will probably not be an every day thing, but I hope to post pictures and information twice a week. I have posted a reading list of what I am currently reading or have recently read at the bottom. Feel free to ask my opinion on any of the books listed, but I haven't read a bad one in a while! Enjoy the blog and here are a few pictures of Alex to get you started.

Look how cute I am! Be sure to check out the other pictures on our Picasa site.

Look at me and Dad reading. I love to read and I practically do it all day!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Here I am reading again!

Look at me with my new shoes!
