Happy Anniversary!!

Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary to Mommy & Daddy!! Nana came and spent the evening with Alex so that we could go out to dinner. We went to Ross Isaac, and it was wonderful!! We then headed to Furniture Row and bought bar stools and 2 nightstands for our bedroom. Buying a new house somehow gives you the OK to go ahead and make other big purchases that cost lots of money too!!! I'm not complaining! We'll just say it was an anniversary gift to ourselves!

Alex was pretty fussy for Nana for no other reason than he was tired. She laid him down about 7:00 in his bed to cry it out and he immediately fell asleep, and has been sleeping ever since. This cold is really doing a number on the little man. Anyway, Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful date night!! It's pretty well deserved if I do say so myself!!

UPDATE: Alex slept until 3:30 am. He was just simply a tired tired little man. Sorry that Nana didn't get to hang out with him much!

Hanging with my Buddies

Ben, Abbie, Alex, & Will

This weekend we headed to Bunker Hill and ate dinner at Grandma Meehan's house. Alex and Thomas had a little fun together. Thomas enjoyed stealing every toy that Alex was playing with. I have a feeling this will be the first of many times that toys are stolen between the two of them!!

We then headed to the Manar's house for a sleepover. We enjoyed hanging out together, and I think the kids did too!! Believe it or not the last picture wasn't planned, they really all were just laying down together!! Aren't they cute?!

ILL-INI

So the Illini football team isn't doing very well this year, but nonetheless Daddy was excited to put Alex in his Illini windsuit. He sure does look cute!!

4 Month Stats

Chilling at the Homecoming Game

Friday Alex headed to the work with Mommy for the day. He had a well baby check-up in the afternoon, so he came and visited everybody in the office. He was very good, and everyone enjoyed seeing him.

We headed to the Dr. and Alex did very well considering he had to have two exams. Dr. Veronica had a Physician's Assistant Medical Student who did an exam and then reported to the Dr. and then the Dr. came in and did an exam. Then the little man had to have two shots. He didn't even flinch on the first one, but screamed on the second one. Don't worry, Mommy was there to make him feel better. He fell asleep on the way home, so I just left him in his carseat. He ended up staying there until it was time to go to the football game. He was so tired all night long, and we kept giving him Tylenol. It was cold and rainy at the game so we stayed in the booth with Daddy. Alex was pretty chill, as you can tell from his picture this week. The next day he was as good as new!!

Anyway, let's get to the good stuff. . . Alex weighs in at 17 lbs 5oz (90th percentile) and is 26 1/2" long (90-95th percentile). His head was 43.2 cm (75th percentile). He is growing up to be such a big boy. He can start eating cereal now. I bought some but haven't started him on it yet. We'll let you know when that happens though!

All in all we have a very healthy and happy baby. Hopefully we won't have to head back to the Dr. until December for his 6th month check-up and vaccinations!

One Year Ago Today. . .

OK, so I stuck his hat on so you could see those gorgeous blue eyes!!

We received the best news we could ever imagine, we were finally pregnant!!!! I can't describe to you how wonderful that moment was. The best part is, the moment hasn't really ended! We are loving every minute of being parents!

Today Alex is 4 months old. Wow, how time flies. Alex you are growing bigger and stronger every single day. I love to see your little face light up with your big smile and can't get enough of your little laugh!! Every time I take your clothes off you have the biggest belly laugh. You have the chunkiest little legs and your cheeks are so big. I could just eat you!! I hope you continue to grow and change even though we'd love to keep you little forever!!! Happy 4 month Birthday little man, as your shirt says, you are totally huggable!! We Love You!!!!

We had our home inspection on the new house today. There's a serious problem with part of the roof which is causing interior problems as well. It could be pretty pricey to fix, but we have to see what we can negotiate. We're keeping our fingers crossed, please say a prayer!!

Happy Birthday Aaron!!!

Homecoming Parade

Last night was Alex's first Williamsville Homecoming Parade. As you can see he wasn't into it that much, but he sure looked cute in his hat!! I didn't get a picture of him while he was awake, but boy did his eyes sure look blue!! Seth of course loved riding the firetruck, and was a little bummed that Alex was too little to ride. Next year though!!!

Senate Softball Sunday!!

Of course we still had to support the Bears!!

Mommy & Becky

On Sunday we headed to Lincoln Park for a few Senate Softball games. Mommy didn't play because of her scratched cornea. It was a beautiful day out, and we had a good time hanging out with friends. We especially enjoyed hanging with the Manar's, which hasn't happened it quite some time!! I think Alex is just as big as his buddy Ben, who's a month older than he is!! Trista and I both got to spend time with our Godchildren too!!

Needless to say, The Impeachables, won it all!! Of course Mommy would be part of the best team!! Our shirts were the best too!! We had to leave the games early because we went to sign the contracts on the house we are buying and the house we are selling!! Busy Busy!!
