I think I’ve recovered mentally enough to speak of this event again. Phew! It was a whirlwind of a day, but Alex was a trooper considering. He hated the ceremony (shocker!), but got through the party without a meltdown. The guest list was pushing 100 people and out house was bursting at the seams, but I think we pulled it… Read more →

10 Months old
I’m a bit tardy on this post, but here is what’s going on in his world. Tricks: Clapping (one hand slaps the top of his other hand), waving bye-bye, shaking his head No, walking and regular crawling (finally!), saying “Duck” which sounds like “Duh”, Saying “Cat” which sounds like “Kah” or sometimes just like the letter “T”, standing up in… Read more →
Walking….shit.
For the last several weeks, Alex has been dying to walk. He pulls himself up and then let’s go so he stands by himself. Then it became a few wobbly steps forward. Now he’s up to like 7 steps on his own. He’s getting stronger by the day, although his giant head will tip him over from time to time.… Read more →
Almost crawling
He’s a littly whiny and I’m using a method used to train dogs, but hey. It kinda works. Enjoy. (& yes I covered that socket back up.) “> Read more →
Alex’s 1st trip to Tahoe
A few weeks ago, we took Alex to Tahoe for a relaxing weekend. The first morning he slept until 8:15!! We were pretty lazy all weekend, but did make it out to lunch & shopping w/ Henry’s parents. Alex got his first taste of Tomato Bisque soup and Orange Sorbet. He loved it so much I was afraid his Green… Read more →
Get up, Stand up!
For about a month now Alex thinks he is ready to walk. He grabs my hands, pulls himself up, and then let’s go. It started as 2 seconds long and keeps getting longer and longer. It’s insane to watch. He even has stumbled a few steps forward on his own..although we aren’t really counting that as walking yet. His army… Read more →
Derby Day
Last weekend was the Kentucky Derby and we had a big bash at the pub. I was super impressed at how many girls got dolled up in their dresses and big hats! The race was only a few minutes long, but we just hung out, ate lunch, and had a lot of Champagne. It’s not that often we can feel… Read more →
Alex and friends at 9mo. (OG Crew)
This weekend we got together with our good friends The Schroeters, The Gonsalves’, and The McCarters. All four families had babies born in the same week. We tried to replicate the phto of them at 2 weeks. It’s so fun to see how big they are getting and the distinctive personalities coming about. I really hope that we have more… Read more →
Joanna’s bridal shower
This weekend Erika and I threw a bridal shower for our favorite bride-to-be, Joanna. My house was brimming with gifts, food, and chatty ladies 🙂 We had so much fun planning this party, even if we were literally RUNNING for the last 30 mins leading up to the guests arriving to get it all done. The wedding is a mere… Read more →
Teeth!
Alex’s first tooth broke ground (or gums) right before St. Patrick’s Day. I couldn’t see it, but discovered it while performing a routine mom “feel-a-round” mouth check. And lo and behold, something sharp! A few weeks later, the other bottom tooth made its way out too. Getting a picture is tough because you gotta be close and quick. But during… Read more →
