Fun in the Sun!

On Wednesday Caleb and Caitlyn brought their cars over to drive at our house. Alex looks like he's having fun here, but once Caitlyn put the gas on he FLIPPED OUT! He cried hysterically until I took him out of the car and he wouldn't have anything to do with it again. Good thing I got the picture first....

On Friday we went to a fun park in Tumwater so Alex could play. It was a gorgeous day and we all loved being outside in the sunshine! He was wary of the slide at first, but then realized that the slide is maybe the most fun part of the park!

Stickers!

Here's Alex having a little fun with stickers! Apparently he loves them. We hear that in the church nursery he steals the ID stickers of the backs of other kids....

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines's Day! We love you! -Seth, Andrea & Alex

(Not thrilled about holding the sign....)

Overcoming Fears & Other Highlights of the Week

You might be saying to yourself "I thought Alex was terrified of the vacuum!" Well, he was terrified. Horrified really. When I would vacuum he would sit stone still on the couch until the vacuum was all the way back out in the garage when he would again feel safe. This week I let him "help" me one day. He wasn't too impressed at first, but grew to love the noisy beast. I just thought this picture was too cute. His melodies are actually sounding a little more like playing and less like just throwing things at the piano. I'm enjoying his curiosity about the piano. Sometimes he sings along too, which just melts mommy's heart. We are beginning to see the signs of having a musical little boy. :)

We were blessed to have a couple of nice days this week to play outside. Today was quite cold, but at least dry enough for Alex and daddy to have some time with the trike and a wagon ride around the neighborhood.

Super Bowl Sunday

What can I say? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This pretty much sums up the afternoon. Chips and spicy guacamole (yes, Alex likes it too).
