Baby Anna

Today we went to visit baby Anna and her parents. She is such a cute, little thing. She must not have been too entertained with us though, she slept the whole time... Her parents are really getting the hang of parenthood (they seem to be doing better at it than we did). It's hard to believe that 4 months ago this was us with our new baby. The photos show how much and fast they change.

Alex and his future girlfriend (he wasn't too trilled with having his photo taken).

Show them what you can do

Alex is really enjoying his Baby Einstein toy, he's getting a hang of some of the things it can do too!

We figured Alex was old enough to sleep in his own room which I have a feeling it's not going to be an easy transition (and not just for him). We're starting with naps first and not one nap today lasted over an hour, needless to say we've had a cranky baby on our hands...

Cutie

Surprise!

Alex met his future girlfriend today. Chad and Tara welcomed baby Anna into the world early this morning. I didn 't get any photos of them together since their family was taking lots of photos and I didn't want be the one who had to get my camera out and make people take more photos using it. She is a gem and their will surely be photos of them shortly.

Besides that Alex is doing well. He's getting to be such a big boy who gives us the cutest smiles. We are having a lot of trouble getting him to take naps so come 5:30/6 Alex becomes a terror. It really isn't too hard getting him to fall asleep at night but he gets up around 6/7ish. I'm thankful that we're morning people and don't mind being up that early everyday.

Little model

I was playing around with my camera and had to use a great subject. I know, every photo I take is of him in his bouncy seat but he loves it!

Video galore

Here's Alex being the big boy that he is.

Big man

Alex had a 3 month check-up today. Usually our ped. doesn't do 3 month check-ups but since Alex had colic and weight issues our Dr. wanted us to come in. The big news is, is that our Dr. thought it was Alex's 4 month check-up, did all the routine test she does for each month and told us he was doing great for a 4 month old. We had to remind her it was only his 3 month appt., she was so happy at how well he's doing. I guess that means Alex is advanced (we already knew that though....)

Besides that, Alex has become a thumb-sucker. We find him knocking his pacifier out of his mouth to suck his thumb. He's enjoying some of his toys and has a blast playing in his jumper.

Mal's birthday party

We went to Mallory's second birthday party yesterday. She had a lot of fun with her friends and cousins and looked so darn cute.

Mal and Cheyanne

The girls and Alex (I got to see how hard it is to get little ones to pose for the camera)

Big boys

Alex and I went to meet his buddy Graham and Graham's mommy yesterday. Alex and Graham got to really see each other outside their car seats for the first time (and were so entertained). We met at the mall and I think I really felt like a mommy then while walking around the mall with Kelly pushing our strollers.

Another milestone!

No, no photos of this event but Alex rolled over today! It happened on Elvis' birthday, does this mean we have the next King on our hands....

My boys

I had to get a photo of my Stempkowski boys.

New Year's

We spend the end of 2008 at my parents and were at home, in bed and asleep by 10:30. Mallory and Alex got to spend some time together again.
