Having fun...

Alex is getting pretty good at giving of kisses these days. It's a lot of fun! He's also started doing Peek-a-Boo to us. He starts with his hands on the side or back of his head, drags his hair forward, and then covers his eyes (as best as he can). Then we say Peek-a-Boo and he moves his hands and laughs and laughs. He's just getting cuter by the minute. He's eating all kinds of foods now and has pretty much dropped the use of a bottle (without any problem). He's getting so big...it's just amazing!

Kisses

Alex started giving me kisses yesterday. He and Wil stopped by work yesterday for lunch and as they were getting ready to go I asked him to give me a kiss. And he did it! Made my day.

We also found out that Alex really likes some of our blues music. While watching a special, "Lightening in a Bottle", he was bopping and clapping to the likes of Buddy Guy and Solomon Burke. It was just too cute!

Things are slowed down and now we're just gearing up for our trip to Jamaica...it's just a few weeks away now!

Too cute!

1 year old pics! 

Alex is 1 year old!!

Alex had his first birthday party yesterday at Grandma and Grandpa's. We had a great time and he really seemed to enjoy the day. We had a lot of family and friends come over to celebrate. Alex got so many nice and fun things, including a bottle of champagne from his Great Uncle Bob to be opened on his 21st birthday. He enjoyed playing with things after they were opened. We had a lot of finger type foods-sloppy joes, meatballs, cheese/meat, veggies, and other munchies. We went with all Pooh stuff! The cake was beautiful and very good. Alex tried his first pickle and liked it-we were expecting him to make a "yucky" face, but he just ate it like it was nothing. When it came time to eat the cake, we gave Alex a chunk of it. He just looked at it and touched it a little, but he never really just dug in. We smooshed his hands in the cake a little and he just kind of wiped the frosting all over. Needless to say, he ended up with a quick bath in the sink to clean up.
After the party died down a little, Alex went to bed and then we celebrated New Year's Eve. We all just hung out and played games until after midnight. It was a great day all around!
Happy New Year 2006!
