Knock Knock...visitors!

(Sorry these are way overdue! I didn't forget about ya...)

Alex is so sweet, everyone wants to get in on the love!

The Seamans came to visit after their river trip! I am hoping they caught the bug...baby fever anyone?! :)

Cousin Holly and Zachary came to visit. Zachary was more interested in playing Clue :) Sweet boy!

The Fam

Honey came to visit the other day and so we decided we needed a family picture. This is the first one since the hospital. Alex is 5 weeks old! Don't mind the Christmas colors (shoot!)! :)

Travis said it was about time I was on the blog...

I love my Honey! She is soo good to me!

Daddy time is so sweet.

Happy Father's Day!

It melts my heart to see Travis holding Alex. He is so small in his arms. I know they will be best buddies and there is nothing more a mom could wish for. He is a fantastic father already and I can see how much he loves Alex everyday!

Happy Fathers Day to ALL the dads out there!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'....

You know the song...go ahead sing a little to yourself. :)
As I was shooting how high Alex can hold his head (he is such a big boy!), he decided to ROLL OVER!! I caught the whole process (like a flip book)! I am a proud mama! :) I am sure it was a fluke but he IS very strong! Watch out Arnold Schwarzenegger (can you believe that name is in the spell check, haha)!

I month old!

I decided to try to do a little photo shoot for Alex's 1 month documentation (which is 4 weeks yesterday and 1 month on Friday, if that makes sense, so what do ya use?!).



Well, I think he is just as cute as a button but he didn't really cooperate too well. It always makes me laugh.


Things have been good. I would like to quote from a fellow blogger that I admire- I tend to sport the " sweet perfume of sour milk" on my shirt these days. Mmmm....lovely. I feel like Alex and I change clothes so many times in one day you would think it was a beauty pageant.


I just started walking in the mornings...not by choice. Alex has been up early and wide awake. He forces me outta bed and outside! It is the only time we could really go since it is so gosh darn hot all day! It IS really good for me to get the exercise but I would much rather stay in bed and take one more nap time! :)


I just love to look at him. He is starting to smile more and even when he is awake. I love to watch him sleep like an angel. I love when he is done eating and has milk on his lips. I love his beautiful eyes (that I am determined will be blue! they are a greyish blue right now)! I love that his favorite place is on our chests, cuddled up under our chins. I love to kiss his soft cheeks and see him kinda blink in awe, like "What are you doing to me!?" I love our lil Alexander.

Our Lil Chubby Bunny

Well, we went back in for our weight check on Thursday and our "little" guy weighs 8 lbs 7 oz! Yea!! He is gaining like a champ! :)

The Burkharts came to visit Alex!

Alex loves to be outside. Its our "trick" for getting him to settle down and stop wailing. The minute you step through the door, he is silent, still, and listening! He will even fall asleep! We love it!

I wanted to post a quick "success" story since so many of you liked the Target horror story (haha). I did go to HEB with Alex after the doc on Thursday and he made it through the whole trip without waking up! YEA! He only started crying a little at the checkout and then went back to sleep. Success! :)

Got Milk?

Today Alex is 3 weeks old!
Check out "Big-foot"! Still sweet even if they are huge!

The Bass Family came to visit this weekend!

Beautiful Isabella...I can't believe how much she has grown up! Alex likes older girls ;)
The lil piggy has been eating a ton so I thought this onsie was very appropriate for the week. He has also been quite fussy, hence the photo. Oh, the joy! :) I am such a mean mom to take a picture of the "pain."

We LOVE when Daddy comes home!!

Check out the lil frog we found! How could you not eat that up!
