Asleep during fireworks?!

Little Alexander celebrated his first fourth of July...asleep! (Just the second half of the firework show). He did really well during the day and loved getting together with family. We traveled down to Provo, and due to the construction we found a new spot that was shaded and quiet! Alexander just sat on his blanket playing and making noises and being quite content. He's such a good baby. It was time for the fireworks and bless Jose's heart; he wanted to make sure Alexanders ears were covered up because he's funny with noises. This is a little boy who doesn't like loud laughing but can handle thunder..go figure! The first firework went off and he was not a happy camper. Jose took him and I guess he did okay because I went to check on them during the break he was okay. THe second half started and we put the blanket with our hands over his ears and he LOVED it. 5 min. later he's asleep and sleeps well through the night.

Being silly

Need I explain?!

6 month stats

Alexander is in his 6 month stage, almost 7 months. He weighs 16 lbs. and 3 oz. He is 25 1/2 in. long and his head circumference is 40 something cm...I think! Although his percentile is low his doc wasn't concerned. I mean after all he does come from short parents!!He grabs very well and thinks everything can go in his mouth. He rolls over, but it's not his favorite. He enjoys standing or being on his feet. He can sit up by himself for a long time. His favorite past times include playing with paper and bags that make noise. Don't judge me about the bag thing, we watch him closely. He doesn't put it over his head; he'll crinkle it then sooner or later it ends up down by his feet and it's his feet that makes the noise. Those two things entertain Alexander for quite some time. It's quite entertaining to watch!! He's on solids, which he's been on since he was 4 months. He's really good at eating and even though everything seems to be his favorite, he really enjoys bananas, applesauce and squash. So there's the latest. He's growing and being quite the cute little stinker!! We love him and are very blessed to have him in our lives.

Father's Day

It's not the best picture, but look at these two handsome boys! I'm so lucky to have both of these guys in my life. Jose was able to enjoy his first father's day. I love getting together with family. We had a barbecue at mom's with cousins and grandparents. It's so much fun when family gets together. It was a perfect day to honor our fathers.

Cross your fingers!

After a long-g-g-g wait here are some pictures in no particular order. Enjoy!
Here is Easter.
He put his hand in a perfect cup shape all by himself, just so he could hold an egg!! Way to go sweet baby!
Yes, he knows how to give kisses
Look at that cute smile!

The prize is?...

School is Out!! I'm finishing the last days of school; I have two days left and to that I say Hooray! Working in Kindergarten has been fun. I have to admit I didn't like it at first; I hated it. I later started to enjoy it. It definitely is a lot more teaching, but it is fun. THere are some really cute kids. I hope I'm lucky and get to work with them next year in 1st grade. Being in kindergarten has helped deal with being away from Alexander. So even though it's been a fun year both in 1st and Kindergarten I'm VERY MUCH looking forward to having the summer off to play with Alexander. Another prize besides school being out is having more time to play on my blog! So for those of you who are getting bored of not seeing pictures I say "there will be pictures!" Let SUMMER begin. HOORAY! :)

Realization!

Do any of you ponder about your life and think how boring it is?! I mean sometimes you hear about peoples lives and they seem to have adventure or something exciting going on. I've come to the realization that Jose and I are two very boring people. My mom mentioned how my blog is nothing about Jose and I; it's just Alexander. There's a reason for that, we're boring!! LOL We just take each day one at a time. We're learning life as newly parents and trying to adjust. If you ever came to my house before we had Alexander it was clean, but after we had Alexander it's amazing you can find anything! It definitely looks like we have a baby!! Kudos to all you parents who have figured out how to manage your time with a new born! Nothing exciting is going on with us. We just have a list of all these projects we want to do, but not enough time! So if you haven't pondered about your life now maybe after reading this you will. Is your life full of adventure and you have something exciting to tell people or is it like Jose and I-nothing exciting to tell unless a baby is involved?!
