Three years of Alex

It has been three years since we first met Alex! He was a mover and shaker on the first day we saw him and still is! When he was four months old, he would lie on his back and kick his legs up and down - violently and for great lengths of time. Those legs were ready to move and once they got started they haven't stopped.

A little update about Alex...
1. He learned how to ride a bike without training wheels just 2 months after turning three! He zips around the neighborhood and we're teaching him that it isn't okay to be boastful when he sees older boys with training wheels. Of course, it is okay for us to be boastful!
2. Alex has an amazing appetite and, starting when he turned three, has been eating his own Chipotle burrito! Our food bill is going to be ridiculous.
3. We are all working on "the terrible threes!" Wish us luck and pray often for us!

Here are some recent pictures of Alex:

A couple of times a week, over the past month, Alex has not been able to fall asleep at nap time. This has never worked out well. Here he is, around 4:30 pm, after a HUGE meltdown, asleep on the floor.


A neighbor had a large tree taken down in his backyard. A rare moment where Alex sat still and just watched.
