Alexander at 16 weeks

It takes a lot of silly faces to get this smile...but it is all worth it. Here Alex is 16 weeks (and probably 16 pounds). I just love those chubby cheeks.

Finally updated

OK...so I have been really bad about updating the blog. I have finally updated it and I have added a lot of pictures from all the events over the last 2 months. Some of which have already moved into older posts....so you will have to scroll through to find those. I'll try to do better.

The Mothers...May 25th

Here I am with my two sisters. We are all mothers now. It is going to be so much fun when we get all the kids together...4 boys and 1 girl (so far).

Hanging out at Auntie Debra's house

After Lucas was born, Alex and I hung out at Auntie Debra's house. Mom and Suzanne were also up visiting so it was a rather exciting week for Patrick having three other women in the house talking about hair and watching Oprah. It was great for all of us to be together...a rare occasion. I guess I was so busy having fun that these are the only two pictures that I have from the week. Hopefully, Sue, Deb or Mom got some good ones.

Alex has a baby cousin...May 16th

Alex's baby cousin, Lucas Jackson, was born on May 16th. So this is the little guy that Alex is going to get into to trouble with...
Here is the pround papa with his two sons...

And Grandma is so happy to be holding another baby...

And so are Auntie Suzanne and Auntie Peta.

A visit from the McDonalds...May 10th

Uncle Melvis drove G-G, Meaghan and Andrew up for a visit with Alex. Alex was on his best behavior and enjoyed meeting more family. Uncle Melvis and G-G loved to hold little Alex and enjoyed sharing stories of raising kids. It is very interesting how times have changed.

Auntie Bola and Auntie Ceci...May 3rd

Auntie Bola and Auntie Ceci came to visit Alex a few weeks ago. We had the best time. Alex loved it because he had so many people to cuddle with the whole weekend.

The Overalls Photoshoot...May 1st

I bought Alex a cute little outfit and decided to take pictures of him in it. Here are the best shots from our photo session. I think he looks handsome.

All Smiles...April 27th

Here is Alex around the end of April. I was finally able to catch him smiling. For those that have tried to photograph kids, you know how much of an accomplishment that is for me.

BTW...This picture was taken the day before our anniversary (April 28th)...Can you believe that it has been a year? Can you believe we forgot to take a picture of us celebrating? Can you believe we ate the year old cake?

Mommy and Alex...April 27th

After hours of trying to get a good photo of Alex and me, these are the best photos that I came up with...as you can tell Alex was not as interested in taking the photo as I was. I think we will be looking to get professional help on this one.

Visit from Uncle Pat...April 22nd

Uncle Pat came by to visit Alex one day. Alex was a little fussy that afternoon and Uncle Pat had to walk Alex around to calm him down. This was good practice for Uncle Pat because his new baby is coming soon.

Father and Son...April 19th

Alex loves to be with his daddy. They seem to be have whole conversations just by looking at each other. They truly have a bond like no other.

Visit from Grandma Erna and Cousin Brandon...March 29th

Grandma Erna and Cousin Brandon came to visit Alex a couple of months ago. Alex was just starting to show his little personality. The expression on his face is the same one that his daddy makes.
