Happy Birthday Daddy

Alex is getting bigger and discovering things every day. He has begun cutting his first teeth! The first one came in on Monday and the second started breaking skin on Friday. We like to call them his "alligator chompers". Other accomplishements including rolling from his stomach to his back with some consistancy and realizing he can pull on his toys to make them sing. He continues to be a wiggler, in constant movement only stopping to sleep.

Friday was D.J.'s 26th birthday. Alex decided to buy some plants for the front of the house as birthday presents, with those and some other gift certificates we got a whole new front landscape. It was a nice change as you can see with the before and after pictures. We spent the Memorial Day weekend working around the house, not only did we plant bushes we planted 19 sapling trees around the yard, planted annuals in the whiskey barrels, and stained the deck furniture.

I'm getting so big!!!!

This was the bear suit I was suppose to be able to wear when it was snowing out, but unfortunately it took until April for me to fit into it, so on a day it was a little cool out Mommy dressed me up and we went and played outside. This is my "crazy cow", he sings and dances for me and I love to watch him!! Mommy had a wonderful 1st Mother's Day, I wore the first outfit she ever bought for me before I was born & I looked so cute!!!!

Uncle Matt came all the way from Seattle to see me and my cousin Jon the end of April and here we are chilling at Grandpa and Grandma's; Aunt Jen, Uncle Todd, Aunt Mindy, Grace and Sam, and Nick were there too. We had so much fun and I can't wait until he comes to visit again - Daddy and Mommy said maybe we can go out to Seattle and visit sometime soon too - they said something about flying fish....sounds interesting.

I've been trying to roll over for a couple of weeks, most of the time I get to my side and usually just hang there, but Daddy was quick with the camera and caught me in the act - I'm getting pretty good at it!!!

Mommy and Daddy keep telling me how strong I'm getting, I like trying to stand up, sometimes I would rather do this than sit, I'm not even 4 months old, so it'll still probably be a little while before I'm walking, but I'm working on my muscles.

This is Alex playing with his fishy mat. He's 3 1/2 months old now, he's growing and learning new things everyday. As he told you above, he started rolling over in the last couple of weeks and he is starting to put anything that he can into his mouth. He loves to babble and tell us stories and enjoys playing with his toys. We hope you enjoy the pictures and hope to see you all soon. Love from the Kearney's!!!!
