Easter Sunday

Today we spent the day at my parents' house and enjoyed a fun Easter Egg hunt after the boys' naps. Great-Grandpa Al got in to some trouble though teaching Alex to find the "Big Easter Egg" though. You know, that big blue glass ball that my mom has been teaching Alex to stay away from every other day he's at her house. It sure was cute though to watch these two trouble makers together.

 

 

Easter Eggs

This year we enjoyed Easter egg dying with Great-Grandpa Al at our house on Easter Eve. I wasn't brave enough to let my mischief-maker anywhere near the dye cups but Daddy helped him make a few eggs of his own.

 

 

 

 

January 2009

We celebrated the first day of the new year in style by heading to the playground with our friends the Kengs. Alex had a blast on the slides and generally just running in every direction except the one we wanted him to go in.

 

 

Later in the month we attended the Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus and Alex shocked us by sleeping through the human cannon ball. The kid literally just started sleeping through the night in December, waking up when a pin dropped, yet he slept through a cannon. That nap was the only nap he took that day.

 

In other developments he learned to sign the word "Milk" this month - his most favorite beverage.

Alex Meets Santa

In retrospect, a huge stranger in a bright red suit is perhaps not the greatest idea for a one year old. Alex only sat long enough for me to record this moment of relative child abuse. :)
