Happy First Birthday Alexander James!!!

Alex is officially a year old and wow has the last year FLOWN BY!!! It has been an amazing and wonderful journey. We have been so blessed to have this little guy in our lives.

Alex wore an adorable Birthday Boy shirt to school so everyone would know it was his special day.


We planned a birthday bash for him on the Sunday following his birthday, which was on a Friday, so we of course had to give him a present to open on his actual birthday. He thought the wrapping paper tasted yummy and was lots of fun to rip into tiny little pieces.



Of course the box was just as much fun to play with as the toy that came in it.



Travis showed him how to crawl through the tunnel and they had lots of fun playing together in it.

On Sunday we had his birthday party. We had such a big crowd and were happy that so many people wanted to celebrate his first year with us. Thanks to all that attended: Mommy, Daddy, Travis, Granny, Nanie, Paw-Paw, Grunny (Aunt Renie), Uncle David, Uncle Brian, Aunt Mandy, Cody, Joey, Auntie Kristin, Uncle Dave, Montana, Rylie, Piper, Ms. Shannon, Elliott, Ms. Marcie, Ms. Brittany and Grandma and Grandpa even made it from St. Louis. It was a great party!!!

















Alex was very excited about his Sesame Street cake.




It was his first taste of cake and the first time he had a plate of his very own.





The plate didn't last long but at least he dumped the cake on his tray and not the floor. He had lots of fun playing with his cars from the top of the cake and then licking the icing off of them.




We cleaned Alex up and opened lots of presents.


Then we played with all the new stuff....



All in all it was a great day. Thank you to everyone for celebrating with us and for all the wonderful presents. After everyone left Alex crashed out for like two hours. Partying is hard work.
Below are some pictures that were taken a few days before his birthday. He and Travis were playing together and Alex was so happy. He loves his big brother so much!







Alex fell asleep one night sitting up in his play yard. He had been playing with his phones (one in each hand) and just fell asleep. The front of the pajamas say "Never 2 Sleepy".


No matter how fast it all goes by, Alex keeps amazing us daily. Happy First Birthday Big Boy!!! We love you Alex!!!
