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!

4 Months Today

Alex went to the Dr today for his 4 month check up. Porker is 16lb 6 oz, 26" long. He is in the 75-90% in all his measurements. She said he is moving right along as he should be. He cried terrible after his shots, but as soon as I picked him up he started smiling at the nurse. Must've been faking it!

Out for a stroll

Since the weather was so nice today; when I got off work Alex and I went for a walk. He LOVES the stroller. He looks all around, he's very nosey like his Mommy! He kept his glasses on the whole time, such a good baby. If you are wondering what's on the shades, they are little crabs.

Time to catch up!

Well, there is quite a bit that has happened since the last post. Alex is feeling much better, although in the mean time I managed to get sick as well as Rob. I booked a flight for Alex and I go to Florida in April. We are going down to visit Taya and baby Rhese! Should be exciting to see the two babies together! This will also give Rob some much deserved alone time. Alex is constantly picking things up now. He is always reaching out. He's growing so fast it's amazing. He's almost able to roll over from his back to his belly. Probably by next week I think he might have mastered it......I hope. He is still sleeping throught the night (thank you GOD). Other than being a little gassy, he is an excellent baby. Below is a picture that "Nana" Dianne sent me one day while I was at work. Alex is taking in about 40-45 oz a day. Dianne and I always joke about how he is ready to eat a chicken leg! :) She finally found a bottle to satisfy his appetite......
