My Baby Turns One!

I can't believe May 7th is here already! One year ago, Alex entered this world and changed our lives forever. It's been an exciting year celebrating all his firsts and rewarding watching our little man grow and change everyday, developing his own goofy personality. He's our little love that makes us smile every day and we're so blessed to have him in our lives.

My baby is growing up WAY too fast and it kinda made me sad this morning thinking about it. But I was excited too, of course, to celebrate the special day with my little Alex Man! I don't think we could have crammed any more fun into our day. We took Alex to the Betty Brinn Museum in the afternoon. He had SO much fun exploring! We let him run loose and he's definitely not timid around the other kids.

Yeaaaaah! It's my birthday today!!

The Birthday Boy

Wheeeee!

Mommy & Alex

(before the mouthful of sand)

Alex had on his "Birthday Boy" shirt at the Betty Brinn Museum. He started playing with Cath, who had on her "Birthday Girl" shirt. Both turned 1 year old today. Their shirts were too funny!!

We returned home to get a quick nap in for the birthday boy and then it was off to Monkey Joes where Alex met up with his cousins for more fun. Alex was still a little small for most of the inflatables but he did love the big slide that we took him down on our laps. I don' t know about the kids but I was sure exhausted when we left! Alex was starting to poop out on us but we made one final stop at Kopps for a scoop of custard and that made for the perfect ending to a perfect day for the birthday boy! Happy Birthday, Sweet Alex!! We love you!
