let the count down begin

So I am really starting to get excited for Alex's birthday! He will be one so soon... it's CRAZY. I think this has been the fastest year of my life... I also can't believe how much this baby has changed in a years time. He is walking so well and standing on his own and hardly ever crawls anymore. He also will go get objects and bring them to you... example: I say "Alex go get your teddy bear." and he does! He actually knows toys by name now. So bring on the toddler years we're ready;)

Up and out of here

.... No I'm not leaving.... but that is the theme for the weekend! Alex has mastered the art of standing up and taking off walking! He is literally up and away he goes. Oh how they grow;) However this isn't the only new skill he's mastered in the last few days... Alex can now drink from a cup with no help from me... he blows kisses and has also learned to do the sssh with one finger to his lips! He has a new word as well NO! too cute! We are loving every second we get with this little smartie!

In other news we had a party filled weekend. Alex got a sleepover and Grandma Dea Dea and Grandpa Dan's. So lots of good husband time was enjoyed by me;)

Catch up!

Whewww I've been busy and I desperately needed to catch up with my blogging;) So what's new you ask? So many things. Alex and I went to Buffalo and had the best time. My baby boy was an absolute angel on the plane! He's the best little traveller ever! We got in tons of play time for both the kids and Phoebe and me. We were a little sad to pack our bags, but as always glad to come home and see Josh. So now we are back in Bay City and Alex has learned a new trick.... HE WALKS..... like more than just takes some steps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Granted he still crawls a lot, but he can totally cross the floor walking! We couldn't be more proud... you'd think he cured cancer;) I'm sure that's on his agenda for next week! So that's what's up in Hurley land. Whewwww what a life.
