Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful 3 days of Christmas!  It was a lot of fun to spend time with the family.  Alex had a blast!  He barely slept and just kept going and going!  He got so many nice things from everyone and just loves everything!  We're going to have to really thin out all of his old toys to make room for all the cool new stuff he got.  I guess I'll have a busy weekend!

Mom and Dad also got very nice things.  Games, kitchen stuff, dinner giftcards and a certificate to Acme (we've never been there before!).  Lots of fun stuff!  And, Wil is taking me to Las Vegas in March during his spring break.  

Hope everyone had as nice of a Christmas as we did!

3 year checkup!

Alex had his 3 year checkup on Wednesday. He's 41 inches tall and weighs 43#!! He continues to be off the charts. The doctor said that everything is just fine and Alex is doing quite well (the doctor said something like, "he's 2 going on 20, right?" We got some tips on potty training that I'm going to try. He wants to go sometimes, but other times he runs screaming from the toilet. I took him to Target to pick out some big boy underwear so I'm going to try that this weekend (Cars underwear of course). I can't believe that he's going to be 3!! He wants a brown cake for his birthday with spongebob on it. He is really into music, loves to play around on instruments and listen to the radio. He still loves Taylor Hicks and Van Halen. He also likes Kurt Jorgensen. I'm sure we have the only kid that would rather go to sleep at night listening to Taylor Hicks rather than a lullybye. And he knows many Van Halen songs by the first few notes. We have a lot of fun playing and reading books, and dancing!! He'll often go in his room, turn on the Taylor Hicks CD and dance. He's very independent and wants to do pretty much everything by himself.
Wil almost has my laptop going again, so new pictures soon!
