First Visit to Iowa

We spent this past weekend in Iowa for Dave's high school reunion and to visit Grandma and Grandpa D. We had a great time. Alex had lots of fun playing with Daddy's toys, meeting his friend Olivia, and spending time with Grandma and Grandpa.

Secret Passageway

In our basement we have a raised section that is kind of like a step along one wall. Most of it runs behind our couch, and Alex recently discovered this space. He really likes exploring back there.

Road Trip

Alex went on a road trip with Mommy and Auntie Laura this weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa C (and also got to see Aunt Carol, Uncle Paul, Aunt Jane, and cousin Forrest). Alex had fun playing with Mommy's Little People house. He also helped pick apples, played cards, and just generally had a great time. Family visits are fun!

Happy First Birthday!!

Alex is one! Happy birthday little man!

Birthday Parties are Fun!

Alex had a great first birthday party with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousins (Mom and Dad, too)! He had lots of fun smashing the cake and playing with his new farm set and Radio Flyer.

Taking Steps!

Alex started taking steps about a week ago and has been taking a few at a time for a couple of days now. (The most at once so far is nine!) We finally got some good video of several steps at once. Enjoy!

Library Boy

Alex loves the library! We go almost every weekend. One of his favorite things there (in addition to all of the books, of course) are the wooden bins, which are full of books and great for climbing.
