Alex and his buddy Joel!

Alex is reading his Favorite book "David Goes to School" to his friend Joel.  They are usually partners in crime and love playing together.  They are learning how to communicate, but of course both of them think the toy the other one has is the toy they should have.    

Easter Egg Hunt!

Alex loved finding Easter Eggs this year.  Every time he would see an egg he would get a surprised look on his face and run over to it.  They were decorated like balls though, so he liked to smash them together and listen to them crack.  Needless to say, most of them weren't edible when he was through with the hunt.

Alex's 1st Birthday!

I baked the cakes and Andrew decorated them.  I thought he did an excellent job. Alex was thrilled to be able to choose which ball he wanted but after everyone sang to him he was hesitant to dig in.  He didn't like messy fingers, so we ended up with a crying baby with sticky hands.  But he definately likes to be the center of attention!

Started a Garden

I just planted a garden!  It is my first time ever gardening, so if anyone has suggestions I am happy to take them.  I planted peppers, tomatoes, zuchini, spinach, broccoli, cucumber, carrots, onions, beans and sugar snap peas.  Yes, it was an impulsive idea and I went a little overboard, but so far everything but the peppers have sprouted.
