Happy Birthday Alex!

Alex had a great first Thanksgiving and a fabulous birthday party. It was a busy few days but lots of fun. We are so thankful to have so many great family and friends that were able to share in all of the celebration with us. There are too many pictures to choose from so I'll post a few here and some more later.

Alex also had his 12 month check up on Monday and he has certainly grown in the last few months! He weighed in at 24 pounds and 1.5 ounces and 30.25" long, both of which are in the 70th percentile- a big jump from the 35th and 25th percentiles at his 9 month check up! Getting him to eat enough has obviously not been a problem. Maybe it was just unfair of us to have him weighed after a weekend of eating Thanksgiving food and three days of getting cake.

Alex made his party debut in his tux. I think he was a little overwhelmed by all of the excitement at first.

The awesome cake my mom decorated and amazing cookies Sara made.

Cake face! (and arm and forehead and sippy cup and highchair...)

Alex's response when opening his dump truck gift- "Ohhhhhhh"
