Houston!

We had a great time seeing everyone. We were there for 6 days.. it was definitely not enough because there was so many people to see and so many we wish we had that we didnt have time to. :( But it was a great trip, we got to be there for Josh and Jessica's wedding. Alexander and I had a blast meeting so many family and friends.
I have a lot of pictures, I will post more, but here are some!

Joey, Josh, and Jacob:


Meeting his cousins: JJ, JR, and Dylan (I think they have some better pictures, I will have to get them from them and post more later.)

Abel (Rosie's grandson) and Alexander- they had a lot of fun.


I will post more when I have time to edit them (I need to flip some pictures) and if I get more from people. :)

Alexander's first haircut!

After finally talking Joe into getting Alex's haircut, we went last night. He hated it at first, but then I gave him a lollypop and that distracted him enough for the woman to finish. I thought it turned out great, he looks so grown up now! :( My baby is getting big!

I got a new phone because mine kept freezing and turning off, and the camera is great on this new one. Its nice to know I will have a back up camera when I forget my digital (which happens often).

Here are a few pictures from it.



Dada and Alexander

Eddy... Set.. GO!

Alex's new favorite phrase is "Eddy- Set- Go!" (Ready Set Go!). He races his cars and says this all the time. I love it. I also enjoy his version of Elephant.. which he says "Epy-tent" (its hard to spell it the way he says it! ha) Today we are working on numbers, he seems to love the numbers 7 and 9. When we see a number he says one of those. So this week we are focusing on 1-2-3, and recognizing them visually. He is starting to get it. We always say 1-2-3 before sliding, so now its just getting him to understand it while seeing it.

Alex will be getting his first hair cut this week. I finally talked Joe into it. He is getting quite a mullet. So it definitely time! Here are a few pictures of Alex from the last couple of days:


we constructed monuments today. haha




When I am cleaning or doing something, Alex often disappears and I find him in his room, in "his" chair reading his books. :) His favorite thing to do.


Oh what joy a box will bring to a toddler. This was his "race track" for his "Eddy-Set-Go! cars
