Alex’s 12 month well check
Today was Alex’s 12 month well check and he did pretty good considering that he got four injections and had a blood draw (all routine). It is no wonder that I threw out my back getting his wiggly heavy uncooperative self out the carseat to get diapers at Target yesterday. He weighs in at a whopping 30 lbs and is 32.5 inches long!! BIG BIG BOY!
Alex’s First Birthday
Today was Alex’s first birthday and we spent it doing all the things he likes best. He had pancakes for breakfast and then went to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens to play in the fountains. After a nap and lunch we went to the bounce house. Then after nap and a dinner of his favorite foods he opened all his presents. Not to bad for only a year old!

Alex’s 1st Birthday Party
Laura’s friend Vicki from Stroller Strides invited Alex to be part of her smash cake celebration for CJ (her son). Their birthdays are two days apart so she invited us to do a joint party. Vicki brought all the decorations and Laura made the cakes for the boys and the cupcakes for all the kids. Here are the fun pictures and video from this morning, and both boys first experience with cake.

Hiking at Northwest River Park
This morning we had a family day and spent the morning getting out of the noise of the city to the country of Chesapeake at Northwest River Park. Both kids did great hiking, Brooke walking almost all of it (minus about a mile on Daddy’s shoulders), and Alex doing well being carried even taking a 20 minute cat nap. We hiked over 3.5 miles! It was good for everyone to get back into nature!
