1 year Checkup and Molars

Today was Alex's 1 year checkup and it went great, he is off the chart for height and in the 50Th percentile for weight. He is also getting 4 molars which the Doctor said was early to be getting them and let me tell you he has been so cranky I can not wait until they are through and I can have my happy little guy back. He has also started trying to say a few words like stinky, dog, that, yes, no no, pretzel, please and gentle. I would have to say my favorite is stinky I can't help it makes me laugh out loud.

I love KIWI

So I gave Alex Kiwi last week and it was a huge hit, it has become his new favorite fruit, he will eat a whole one if I let him.

Alex Turns One

So Sunday the 13 was my baby boys 1st birthday, I can not believe how time has flown by it seems like it wasn't that long ago that we came home with him. We had a pool party on Saturday with just a few friends and family, it was a great time. Alex got a ton of toys, I have no idea where to put them. He loved the ice cream cake I would say that was his favorite gift, that and a red ball that he has not stopped asking for since he got it, he loves this ball he woke up pointing at it this morning. He also received a double seater Radio Flyer from grandma and grandpa that he and his new brother can go for lots of rides in, we tried it out this morning and he loved riding in it....of course he was holding his new red ball:)

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone has a great holiday!

My first trip away

This past Thursday was the first time that I had ever left Alex over night, I went to NYC from Thursday - Sunday. I cried when my husband and Alex dropped me off at the airport but it was nice to get a break and relax a little even though I did feel like a piece of me was missing. Needless to say I am happy to be home and with my family again. Here is a picture of my boys sporting their Yankees hats.
