First snow

Since Alex was really too little to enjoy the snow we got last year we (more me) were eager to get him out in it this year. No need to be so eager, he really wasn't too interested. It was like he didn't know how to walk again, when I put him in the snow he just stood there.

He looks like Randy from 'The Christmas Story.'

On his sled.

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was very different than I've ever had before, it was just our family of 3. We were supposed to get together with my family but my Mom came down with the flu on Christmas Eve so we opted to stay home. We went to the children's Christmas Eve service with my Dad and niece but weren't able to get any photos of the 3 of us together.

Alex clearly wants to be held and have his photo taken.

He's not so antsy to get down here.

Family of 3

We had some family photos taken a little after Alex turned 1. Our photographer happens to be a family friend of John's. She did a great job and came with a bag full of goodies to keep Alex occupied. As you can tell, we were blessed to have such a beautiful day!

My two pregnancies

I haven't taken many photos of myself this pregnancy, I guess that happens when you're busy with a toddler. I'm not sure the time frame of both of these photos but I wanted to do a comparison of both pregnancies. If I have the time right it goes to show how much faster you get bigger the second time around.

I think about 24 weeks here when pregnant with Alex.

Almost 27 weeks this pregnancy.

First trip to the Children's Museum

A few weeks back Alex got to visit the Children's Museum (he had so much fun he's been back since). We picked a great day to go, no one was there. I'd have to say the Playscape is the best place for kiddos.

Maybe he'll be a racecar driver.

His favorite area, the Playscape.

Hi Mom!

Playing with the dinosaurs, he enjoyed carrying them around.

Buddies

Alex and I went to meet Graham and his Mommy, Kelly, for breakfast earlier this week. Kelly had the great idea to take a photo of the boys sitting on the bench out front of the restaurant. Aren't these boys adorable?

Visit to the nieghborhood park

Since we've been having all this great weather lately, John and I have been taking Alex to our neighborhood park as often as we can. He doesn't quite get it, it takes some time for him to get used to the different terrain before he takes off. As you can tell there is a bit of a trend in these photos, his hair was blowing in the wind.
