July was an extremely busy month. We celebrated the fourth with neighbors, went on vacation, and played and played and played. First, we got together with some neighbors for July 4th. Alex loves swimming at their house. After swimming, he collapsed onto a pool float in their house. He was totally exhausted. Thunderstorms were brewing […]
This is the second half of my June post. We took Alex back to Parr Park this month, and although it was extremely hot, Alex wanted to run around and play until we made him leave. Alex also took swim lessons this summer from his school. He had lessons every day for 2 weeks, and […]
I have so many pictures for June, that I am going to split this month into two different posts. We got Alex a Big Wheel this month, but we might have been a little hasty. He loves “riding” his new bike, but he can’t get the pedals to work be himself. He needs help unless […]

Today we took Alex to the Fort Worth Stock Show for the first time. We didn’t try to see the rodeo, but we did have a great time with some friends showing Alex all the animals. He had a blast looking at all the livestock. There was even a petting zoo that got him so […]
