Sleepy Baby

I know it's been a while since I have posted. Sorry. My bad.

Well, we've been a busy bunch. Party for 4th of July, swimming, visiting family out of town . . . On the go all the time. Alex is getting around a lot better now. He's so sure on his feet. He's getting faster than Mommy. I have many days when I have to chase him down. He's playing Baseball, Golf, and Bowling. He loves anything that has to do with a ball.

This is him running around in his diaper and a pair of boots throwing a ball around and chasing it.

When we took him to the fireworks show in Greer, he didn't react how I expected. He wanted to hide in the car. We finally got him to look out the window.

Tonight we ate spaghetti while watching Rachel Ray. Alex wolfed down his food and played in his highchair until daddy and I finished our food. We noticed that he was quiet. When I looked over at him this is what I saw....

He had completely knocked out. We hated to wake him up but, he needed a bath after all that spaghetti.

First Baseball Game

We took a family trip Tueaday night to Alex's first baseball game. He fell asleep on the way to the game. We woke him up just in tome to ride the trolley.

On the way in the gate he was more interested in what was happening on the field. He kept saying bayball, bayball (baseball)...

He was an agle during the game. The only problem was that he absolutely did not like the frog. He was basically crawling over us to get away the frog.

Late Easter

We had a late Easter/Birthday Party at my in-law's Sunday. Of course Alex was everywhere. He's such a social little thing. He loves everyone.

We had a little Easter Egg hunt after dinner. Alex went around saying "ball ball" and pick up an egg and throw it as hard as he could. I'm so glad they were plastic eggs.

He got better at just putting the eggs in the basket.

As people were leaving, he would yell out "BYE" "Bye Bye" and wave his little hand. He played so hard that he fell asleep on the way home.

Lilli's Birthday Party

We went out of town for Easter weekend. My niece's Birthday Party was at Swan Lake that Saturday. There were bubbles, ducks, swans, and turtles. Alex had the best time!

He was a little scared of the Swans but tried to chase the ducks. The picture above was a tree that was covered in Turtles that were sunning.

Mountain Trip

We went to Blue Ridge Georgia for Grandpa's Birthday. The trip up was a nightmare. It took us over 3 hours to get there through the rain, fog and curvy roads. I was very car sick for the last hour or so and Alex slept up until the last 30 minutes. After we got there, we had a good time. Alex ran around the cabin and had the bottom 3 steps of the stairs as his personal seat/table.

We went to ride the train in Blue ridge the next morning. The weather was cold and damp but, we had a wonderful time. Alex and Mommy had a new experience together. Neither one of us had ever been on a train. We all had the best time!

After the train trip, we just went back to the cabin and chilled for a while. Alex ran around in just a diaper for a while.

Then he had to have his picture taken with Mommy.

Then it was bed time. Time for Super Baby!!!

We left the next morning. Thankfully the weather had cleared a little and the ride home didn't take nearly as long.

Bad me

I know it's been a long time since I've posted. I promise to update soon. I have some zoo pictures to share. Our "Silly Monkey" loves just about any furry creature and calls them "mia, mia, mia". That's his name for cats. You know, meow. Anyway. I'm hoping to have a little time this weekend to add some pics and a few captions. For now, here's a picture from out trip to Clemson back in the fall. He loves the tiger cub.
