This is Alex's birthday present from Grandpa Chuck and CC that he won't stop playing with! He loves the curly ribbons and keeps trying to sneak a peek one month early!
Thank you CC, for taking such good care of me!

so handsome...
Grandpa Chuck's phone is a good evening snack for Alex.
Are we having fun yet?

I'm a happy guy during mealtimes!!

Alex had a great two weeks with CC and Grandpa Chuch watching him while I was TAD for two weeks to California. We really appreciate their help, especially since Marc's TBS hours are so long. Alex went on lots of day trips and even got to go to Toys 'r Us. He definitely misses Grandpa Chuck and CC but was happy to see his friends at daycare today. We're hoping he's exhausted and will sleep all night! Thank you again to Chuck and Christy...we could not have done that schedule without you both being here! We hope to see you in a month for Alex's birthday!

new pet in our house...good boy.

During his two weeks with Grandpa Chuck and CC, Alex learned to go out the dog door we got for Rummy and Willow. He is too funny, and the spoiling continued from Grandpa Chuck and CC!

Looks easy enough, if Willow can do it then I can do it.
Hmmm....
Sizing up the height...
Little push here, maybe...
Ah ha, daylight...

I've got it now...

Yeaaaa, look at me. I'm sure this doormat is clean.

Lookout world, here I come!

Back inside now, should be a piece of cake.

Head first, bottom up!East does it...One leg to go and I'm in...

Mission Accomplished!

Whew, I'm tired now!

4th of July

Waving hi to the camera...love that Houston Zoo shirt from the Gaughns!
Still loves his remote!
The table is the perfect height for Alex and sometimes he pretends it's his drum set...we love that.
Such a sweet, innocent face! I think he's offering to share the toy with me.
Um...this child is NOT underfed...check out the belly. It giggles when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly!
We went to Annapolis for the 4th of July to visit Alex's Godparents, Megan and Michael Esposito. We went to lunch at ACME in DTA and Marc gave Alex a pickle to see what he would do and he actually loved it! He gnawed on the thing for 20 minutes and was a mess afterwards!
Alex and Daddy, hangin' out at ACME!
Alex saw Tecumseh for the first time!
Mr. Excitement after his bath...in his new pajamas!
Hey guys, I'm just happy to be here!

In other news, Alex had his first case of pink eye this week so he and I stayed at home on Thursday after visiting the pediatrician on Wednesday afternoon. He wasn't cranky at all, just contagious. We had a nice day and a half together and he returned to daycare on Friday. We are looking forward to the arrival of Grandpa Chuck and Grandma CC from Arizona. They will be arriving this week to visit Alex and watch him during Marc's long hours! I'm traveling to the west coast for work for about 10 days...my first trip away from Alex! I will miss him but he will have lots of fun with his grandparents! I hope all is well with everyone and that you're having a great weekend!

Fast Run and Baby Steps

Alex is so funny and he loves his Stride 'n Ride!

Two small steps for Alex, one giant leap for the Cornelius kind!
