Pumpkins As Far As the Eye Could See

So this weekend was tons of fun. Dad was just in from traveling and all of us, him, mom and I were all sick but pulled it together to go pumpkin hunting on Saturday. There was a little mixup with the directions so we ended up driving around forever but we finally arrived and I got to run all over the place checking everything out. I even got to see goats and eat homemade strawberry icecream...mmmmmm.

 

Here's a few pictures and there are more in the photo album.

 

 

Then we came home and rested for a while, went out to dinner where I had lots of yummy chipoltle and then finally shoe shopping. Noni got me two new pairs of shoes, and one set has pirates on them and will match my halloween costume.

 

This week we are going to carve our pumpkin, bake pumpkin seeds, make baked apples and do some holiday decorating.

 

Oh and I am in training. Mom and I are doing Race for the Cure on November 4th (here's Our Race for the Cure Page http://www.komenaustin.org/site/TR?px=1402434&pg=personal&fr_id=1060). I can't wait to wave to everyone as we walk all morning!

 

Enjoy the pictures and see you all soon over the holidays.

Ready for Halloween

So its been a busy month since Mom last had time to put some pictures up. I got my 1 year pictures taken, Mom was so happy with them and I loved cheesing it up for the camera. We've spent a lot of time at the park, and even got to try my halloween costume out at the fall carnival. There's lots of new pictures up so check them out.

 

Other fun things to note, I am talking up a storm. New words that I am saying are cheese, shoes (pronounced chooz), out, puppy, princess, cracker, fishes (for goldfish), ball, memaw, gigi, ya-ya, mama, daddy, bye bye, kiss, uh uh, yes, what, and tons more.

 

I am sleeping lots these days and am down by 8 each night and sleeping until 6 each morning. Apparently I am never going to be a late sleeper.

 

I have another cold and this one is already in my chest, so lots of yuck, that is hopefully gone before next Saturday when I go to pumpkin patch to pick out my pumpkin.

 

Check back next week for pictures of my trip.

Almost 27

I love celebrating my birthday.  I woke up today and realized that its right around the corner. I can't wait to do something special, maybe the movies or dinner.  Sorry to ramble I'm just getting excited!

Look What I Got Up To...

So Mom got this email for a free video of me traveling around the world. She uploaded one of my pictures and this is what she got!

 

It cracks us up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My First Haircut

A Post From Alex's Point of View:

So it's been a few weeks but I got my first hair cut. I did good and didn't cry at all! We went to Toy's R Us and I got to sit in a little yellow car and watch Thomas the Trane while the lady messed with my hair. Mom didn't cry but she did tear up when she saw my big boy cut for the first time.

I also made it down to Houston to visit some of my great grandparents. I had a great time playing with everyone.

Birthday Pictures and Videos

A Post from Alex's Point of View:

So I had a great birthday, even though I wouldn't touch the cake! I got lots of great presents from all my family and friends. Mostly books which is perfect since I bring a book to Mommy 20 times a day to read. Now we have variety! YEAH.

 

Here is a neat photo slideshow of my birthday party. It's a little long, so watch what you can, when you can. It will always be here in my journal.

 

 

I also got some toys that roll or that I can push around and I have so much fun chasing the puppies around with them. Mom and Dad always get on to me so I'm not sure the puppies like it but I have so much fun. Check out this video of me running and playing. I can also tell you what the Piggy says!

 

 

Oh and things have been so busy I guess we forgot to mention our 4th of July vacation. We went to Ya-Ya and Granpop's up in Maryland. Not only did I go on my first boat ride, and get to play with big puppies, Mom also organzied a cross-country get-together for all her Birth Club friends. These are ladies that she has been chatting online with since she first found out she was pregnant with me. 9 of the 20 moms and families made the trip and came for the first Annual Little Leo Fest.

Here are some great shots of us that weekend.

 

 

As always there are lots more videos in each of the journal entries. Check them out and stay tuned for more picture slideshows.

Friday's My Birthday!!!

A Post from Alex's Point of View:

YEAH. So Mom has been planning, shopping and preparing for this for weeks now, and I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about. If you don't know, or haven't heard, then check out the invitation to my party below. Everyone is invited to see me make an absolute mess with the huge cake Mom is making just for me.

Lately I have become even more of a ham than usual so be prepared for some major showing off. But give me some credit, I am turning one on Friday and can walk, am really talking up a storm, have between 9-12 teeth (I bite Mom's finger every time she tries to figure out exactly how many), I can get off the couch or bed by myself and I have learned how to play with the puppies. That's a pretty good record if I don't say so myself.

Oh and according to Mom I am becoming a bit of a drama king. What she doesn't understand is that if she just did everything I wanted, I would never have to fuss or throw a fit. Somehow though she just never learns.

Well I got her to put some new pictures in here and am working on her to put up the video of me dancing but she acts like she has other stuff to do. Oh well, maybe she'll get to it after my party.

I can't wait to see everyone, so I hope you'll stop by.

Love

Alex

Oh and here is the invitation to my party!
