Alex had his 18-month check-up today. He weighs 26.04 pounds and is 34 inches tall. He has 9 teeth with 2 more coming in. He can say 20 words, and he knows 44 signs. All in all, we have a healthy, active, wonderful, little boy! Our summer has been filled with activities. First, we went […]
The hardest thing once you take a break from blogging is to get started again. After a month goes by, you start to feel like you are never going to be able to catch everyone up with what has gone on in a month. After almost 2 months, it feels like an insurmountable obstacle. So […]
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I thought I would show you what a difference a year can make. Alex and I aren’t doing much today. We are just staying home and appreciating each other’s company. Today is also my last blog post for the week. Why, you might ask? Well, I am doing something this afternoon […]
Today Alex and I went to get his 1-year pictures taken. True, he is 14 months old, but I think it is close enough to a year to count. We didn’t have as good an experience at Sear’s Portrait Studio as we have in the past. The guy there didn’t seem to know what to […]
Today Alex and I went to Parr Park with some of my friends from work. It was definitely warmer than yesterday, but still chilly. Who thought you would need a sweater and warm hat just 2 days before it is supposed to be 80 degrees? That is Texas for you! We had a great time […]
Today was a great first day of my Spring Break. Alex and I went to the Dallas Arboretum with my friend Whitney and her son. Alex is getting better and better at interacting with other kids. He is fascinated with older kids, but he isn’t quite sure what to do when someone wants to play […]
Okay, so I know I am a week late with my Valentine’s wishes, but it has been a crazy couple of weeks. After being iced in for a week, we finally got some snow. Alex really enjoyed playing in the snow until he tripped and did a face-plant into a snow drift. It didn’t hurt […]
Well, we have had a quiet this past week. Alex’s biggest accomplishment was that last Friday he went down the stairs backwards all by himself! Now understand that when I say, “By himself,” I really mean he did it without any help. He was supervised the entire time. He did this amazing feat first with […]
We have had an eventful couple of weeks since Alex’s birthday party. On Thursday, January 13th, Alex said his first words. His first discernible word was ‘banana’. He says, “Nana” and does the ASL sign for ‘banana’ at the same time. It is very adorable. His other word is ‘glasses’. It must be because so many people […]
Dear Alex, We held your first birthday party on Saturday, January 8th at two o’clock. We invited a bunch of Mommy and Daddy’s friends who have children, as well as Grandma, Grandpa, Mimi, Pappa, and Meemaw. The person who came from the furthest away to celebrate with you was Daddy’s friend, Osman, who drove up […]
