A New Push Toy




Alex has discovered that now that he can walk that he can push lots of things around. He loves to push his Buzz Lightyear toy around instead of riding it now. Tonight he discovered that the bar stools are a great 'toy' to push all around the kitchen!! He was pretty proud of his discovery!! He's not a very good driver and would get mad when he would run into the wall. This is not a game that we will be encouraging him to continue!

Bullets Win!!!









Last night the Bullets kicked of their season opener against the Gillespie Miner's (Nana's alma mater) with a 26-16 win!! The weather was beautiful, but we know that by the end of the season will be shivering in our boots!! Alex played in the rocks and hung out with Grandma & Grandpa Kershaw for a little while too. He insisted on being held for a big part of the game, by only Mommy of course. He was so tired considering he goes to bed at 8:00 every night, but there was no chance he was going to go to sleep and miss a minute of the action! The good thing is he slept in until 10:00 this morning. It was even better considering Mommy & Daddy were up until almost 2:00 am with the coaches and their wives. As they all say, the best part of the football week is the 3 hours (even though it's usually more like 5 or 6) after the game!!!

On the Road Again

It's a road we've traveled once before, it was a long and windy road but the journey to parenthood was well worth it. Today we began the journey again with Dr. Galle. The long and short of it is, we are picking up right where we left off the last time. In the next few weeks I'll begin giving myself shots and visiting Dr. Galle regularly to see how things are progressing and then we'll proceed with insemination as we did previously. Dr. Galle wants me to lose a little weight (about 8-10lbs) and he increased my Metformin for insulin resistance. So, now Mommy & Daddy have some working out to do!!! This is one part of the process that Adam can partake in!!!

Walking in to the office today was kind of surreal. It seemed like we had just been there, even though it's been nearly two years since we found out we were pregnant the first time! Everybody remembered us, and of course they were anxious to see pictures of Alex and we were more than happy to share our beautiful baby boy with them. One nurse came out and said "Hello Amelia, but call me Molly." She said she saw my name the day before and was so excited we were coming back!! We really can't stress enough how blessed we have been with Dr. Galle's office. They truly are amazing people and do great work!!

So, little brother or sister to Alex, today we official begin working to bring you into the world! We can't wait to meet you!!!

Tractor Time




One night in July, Papa had a Rural Electric conference at the Crowne Plaza, and we stopped by for a little visit. It's an annual meeting and they always have a silent auction. Mommy & Nana love to walk around and see what's for sale. This year Alex had his eye on one of the prizes. He would have loved to have won this tractor, but it didn't happen. Oh well, he enjoyed driving it for a few minutes anyway.

I didn't have my camera and a nice lady stopped and took his picture and she just sent them to me so now I'm sharing them with you! Enjoy!

Look Who's Walking Now!!



Yesterday out of the blue Alex decided to stand up in the middle of the room with no help and take about 7 steps! He's done it several times since then too!! I knew it was all a matter of him deciding to do it and it seems as if he's decided it's time! He still prefers scooting as you can see from the video but that's OK!! One step at a time!! YAY Alex!!!!

Cousin Sleepover

Thomas loved all the Sesame Street books!!
He said oooooh every time he found a new one!






Uncle Thomas & Aunt Amy headed to Chicago on Saturday for a wedding, so Gabbi & Thomas stayed at our house. The kids had a good time playing together and were very good. Of course, both boys wanted each other's toys several times but that's to be expected at this age! We wrapped up the night by watching some cartoons on the internet. Alex has recently become obsessed with watching things on the laptop. Thomas is obsessed with Elmo so we watched some Elmo too! It's hard to believe these boys are 6 months apart by there size! Alex is the same size as Thomas, and weighs more too!!

Once we got the boys to bed I surprised Gabbi with a trip to the drive in to see Beezus & Ramona. She had already seen it once, but wanted to see it again. Plus she's been asking for me to take her to the drive in for a few years now and it's never worked out. The movie was good and the night was beautiful. A great way to end a crazy day with 3 kids!!

Better Late than Never!!





Aaron, Liz, & Seth came over the other night for dinner. We're getting ready to kick off another football season and everybody is going back to school. Liz already started her 3rd year of pharmacy school on Monday, and all 3 boys start school this weekend. Adam and Aaron will again be in high school and Seth is starting Kindergarten!!!

Anyway, the whole point of my post is that the Kunz's in true Kunz fashion finally got around to bring Alex's birthday present over!! Alex absolutely loves it!! He wasted no time figuring out how to push the button that makes all the balls go popping everywhere!! Seth had this toy when he was little and he still seemed to enjoy it!! I don't enjoy the fact that there is no volume on it so it's really loud and the balls seem to always go under the couch!!!
