Leaving on a Jet Plane.....

Tomorrow is our big flight to Florida. God Bless those people on the plane. I wish them all the luck. Hopefully Alex won't hate it too much. I will post tons of pictures when I get back. And I plan to post something about the new house with some photos too!

Easter

Alex enjoyed his first Easter from what I could tell. He loves getting attention. I had to work, but afterwards I met Rob and Alex at Aunt C.J. & Uncle Roy's house for dinner. Of course Alex was all decked out in his best. He was having so much fun just rolling around and playing with his toys while we were there. The Easter Bunny did not visit this year since he is too small, but the Bunny stopped by to see Rob like it has for the last 9 years.

Always so happy and smiling

6 Months!

Yesterday Alex turned 6 months old! WOW! Time has really flown by! Today was his 6 month check up. He is 18 lb 6 oz. 27 1/2 inches long. Dr. Healy said he is doing great. Growing very well. He cried a bit more with his shots today. In fact, I think Rob took it worse. He hasn't seen him get shots before. I think it was a bit traumatizing. This Wednesday we leave for Florida for a week!! I can't wait to see him in the pool and how he likes it.

Ready for Florida

So much for the first day of Spring...HA! It was freezing today. Compared to the lovely 60's we've been having, the 40's felt very chilly. Alex and I are so ready for our trip to Florida to the warm weather. I can't wait to see how he reacts to the pool. As you can see below he already has his old man hat and his Palm Beach shirt!

" you and that camera Mom, really..."

"hey lemme try that thing out....."

St. Patty's Parade

Saturday Rob, Alex and I went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Wilmington. We didn't see too much of the parade as we were visiting with our friends that were hanging out behind St. Pat's Church. Alex did look like a cutie pie though. It was a little bit too cold we think b/c he started getting antsy and fussy so we left after about 2 hours. Here are some photos b/c of course you know I took a ton!

My Sweet Potato

Alex started vegetables this week. So far he LOVES sweet potatoes, probably b/c he is so sweet! However, the green beans seem to be a non-favorite. We are planning to attempt carrots this weekend. He cracks me up when he eats because he makes all these grunting noises like he has never eaten before. Here are a few photos of him eating

We bought a house!!!!!!!!

That's right! We finally bought a house! We looked at this house 3 times and loved it more and more each time. It is in Sherwood Park, a neighborhood we have always wanted to live in. It's very family oriented, close to everything and in a good school district for Alex. Settlement is scheduled for 3/31! Here are a few pics, of course I will post more once we move in!
