Happy Birthday, Alex!

It is hard to believe that Alex is already a year old! Time has gone by so quickly. When I think back to what he looked like when he was born...8 pounds, 11 ounces, 20.4 inches long.

He is now 24 pounds and 31.5 inches tall! He is wearing 18-month and some 24-month clothes! To say that he is growing by leaps and bounds is an understatement.

We had a party for him this past weekend. All the family was here to celebrate! He especially enjoyed playing will all his nieces (he is such a ladies man)!

I think he liked the icing on his birthday cupcake, but he didn't really dig in like we all wanted! He was more interested in the balloons. On February 13 Alex took his first steps alone! Once he figured out that he could walk from Mommy to Daddy without any assistance, there was no holding him back. He walked back and forth between the two of us for at least a half an hour. Over the next few days he found more courage to try walking from the couch to the coffee table! Before we know it, he'll be running around the house!

It has been such a great year having Alex in our lives. We look forward to the next year of watching him GROW!
