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.

Oh what a year it's been...

Here's a recap of how much Alex has changed in the past year....

Family time

Our first family photo (I looked tired after a long labor.)

Our most recent family photo.


Playdates
Alex and Graham's first playdate (crying was how Alex spent much of the first 3 months of his life and this day was no exception).

Alex and Graham shopping with their Mommy's at the mall.




Sleepy time
Alex sleeping on Daddy (he looks so little).

Again, Alex sleeping on Daddy (this is a rare occurance these days).






Bath time
His first bath at home.

He now loves bath time.

Halloween
Our little pea.

Our little monkey.

Walking boy

Last night John put Alex down and decided to see if maybe he'd walk a few steps to him - sure enough he did. Those few steps turned into walking across the family room in a matter of hours. He prefers to "cruise" around the furniture and crawl but I have a feeling those days may be limited.

Happy Birthday Alex!

Alex turned 1 on Sunday! 1! 1! 1! I still can't believe that our little guy is 1-year old, what a blessing. We had a little party for him. Since his party happened to fall during a Colts game, we decided to make it a Colts themed party. He was such a good boy but exhausted by the end of the day (he slept for about 13 hours that night).

The birthday boy!

I was so excited to get some good photos of Alex and his cupcakes but it was pretty uneventful, he was so clean....
