So, it's been awhile...

Well, a bunch of stuff has happened since our last post.  Let's try to catch up...

Alex's 1st birthday...

The VTech Explore and Learn Helicopter was a popular gift.  Good thing our friends whose kids are having upcoming birthdays don't read this blog.  There may be a helicopter in their future.

Next up, a couple of days at the beach for New Year's Eve.  He really enjoyed the beach, hanging out with his new pal Emilia, and seeing some aunts and uncles.  In fact, for Alex, it was the 2nd visit for both Aunt  Steph and Aunt Rhon, who have each visited Alex two more times than Aunt Brenda!

Since then, Alex has been growing into a fun little guy.  He's pretty chatty these days.  He can say quite a few words with "No!" "outside" and "uh oh" being his favorites.
