Crazy

My little boy is growing up. He is starting to communicate. Not just with the simple signs we have taught him, but with words and gestures! He adores playing the "Can you Say?" game. We say, "Can you say Baby?" Alex looks around and loudly proclaims after thinking for a moment: "BA-BY!" Very sweet.

He is also starting to have more of an opinion, AKA Terrible Twos are fast approaching. If you say No to him, he immediately crumples and starts crying. Oh dear. He is far too cute to look at him while he is throwing a temper tantrum, so my way of coping is to ignore it. They are always short-lived and caving is not an option as his age. I am sure at some point I will cave, we all do as parents! I will try my darnest to resist the urge though!

Alex recently spent 10 days without his mommy while she was traveling in South Korea. Alex and Daddy spent a lot of quality boy time together. They waited patiently for mom to come home and went on walks every day after school. They also loaded up on junk food when mom was gone! LOL. Alex was very happy to have both parents reunited, and I think dad was pretty happy about it as well

Ice Fishing in February

Uncle Matt and Aunt Sheri invited us to go Ice Fishing. It was a cold day, but we bundled up for the first time to brave the weather. Alex and I had never been ice fishing, so it was a cool experience for us. Here is a picture of Alex and his dad when we first got out of the car:


Alex was very intent on digging in the snow to reach the frozen lake water.

Cousins warming themselves in the warming tent. And, both were equipped with their water cups to stay hydrated!

Me looking onto the little ones and making sure little fingers did not make contact with the heater coils.


Aunt Sheri looking cute with all the kids!

And finally, Alex chillin'. Literally.
