HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXANDER!!!!!

After cake.... :)

Alexander was happy to share with Daddy

and to share with mommy!

He wasn't quite sure what to do about the singing, or the candle.

This is us waking Alexander up on his birthday!

(Isn't he precious!)
Our little boy turned 1 last Tuesday March 9th! (I can't believe it has already been a year, the time is going by way too fast! ) We celebrated with family and a couple close friends with cupcakes and ice-cream! Alexander had a cake that looked like a giant cupcake he wasn't really sure what to do with it or the candle, but had a great time!He had his 1 year check-up two days later on March 11th, and the doc. reported that he is a perfect, happy, healthy baby boy!!!

Alexander started walking a couple weeks before his first birthday, and as of yesterday is climbing!

He still eats everything(just like his daddy), he LOVES dogs; he loves going to the park, and being outside, and is constantly banging on the front door, and saying out!

Family Fun from Christmas to March!

Here are a couple of photos from the last couple months. From playing in the snow, to a family Christmas party, Valentines with cousins, Alexanders favorite ducks! Its been a busy and wonderful time!

Alexander's Declaration

Alexander just wanted everyone to know where his loyalties lie. Let there be no confusion, this boy is a Suns fan!

Of course his mom and dad are quite proud of his decision.

We love you Alexander :)

Happy Halloween & Thanksgiving

The Holiday Season is here!! We wanted to wish all of our friends and family a belated Happy Halloween and Happy Thanksgiving, and hope that everyone is doing well as the Christmas Season gets under way!

It was a wonderful first Halloween with Alexander- he was Superman,and Adam & I had a different costume for every event!! We had our ward trunk-or-treat the Wednesday before..Adam was a mad scientist, I was a Med. Student, and Alexander was baby superman. Then at Adam's school on Friday they had a trick or treat around campus, this time Adam was a cowboy, and I was Louis Lane! Finally, on the actual day of Halloween Adam was Superman! It was a fun-filled week. The time seemed to fly by and 'poof' it was Thanksgiving! We were able to spend Thanksgiving with the Dawson Clan and lots of aunts and uncles and cousins! It was wonderful to have so much family together! Adam & I agreed that we are most grateful this season and always for each other, our little angel and our amazing family! We have been so blessed, and the only thing we could ever ask for or want for is more time; I'm not sure where the time goes, but it's going by much too quickly! (Unfortunatly this month, we have had the camera with us everywhere we went, but managed to take almost no pictures in the month of November!)

At our ward trunk-or treat!

The week of Halloween we were able to build haunted gingerbread houses

with Nana, Aunt Nicole, Anya and Miley! :) Don't they look beautiful!

Alexander at 6 & 7 months!

Today Alexander is 8 months old!! Wow. how the time fly's, we thought it would probably be a good idea to catch up on our blogging..... so here are the updates from his 6 & 7 months. ( By the way there's nothing new with Adam & I, were good happy & healthy, school is going well, first quarter is almost finished! :)

Alexander's 6 month check up went great he's a healthy, happy, smiley baby!!

Weight: 16.13 lbs- 35%

Head: 44.5- 68%

Length: 27in. -67%

As of Nov. 1st he has 4 teeth! He loves to eat, and can chew and eat basically anything you hand him, and Adam is thrilled so far not a picky eater like his mommy.

Our little climber attempts to climb up onto, into or over everything! He learned he can pull himself up, and now does so everywhere imaginable!!

Our little family just enjoying a Sunday afternoon!

Alexander Helping mommy decorate for Halloween

Alexander crawling under our bed, and playing peek-a-boo with the sheets! He is a speedy army crawler, and as of Friday Nov. 6th, can officially crawl on his hands and knees, although he prefers to just pull himself up and try to climb...but he definitely loves his new found mobility! (and we're getting a pretty good workout)

We were able to enjoy a weekend away in Mexico with family! The weather could not have been more perfect. Here's Alexander all dressed up for fun in Mexico!

Playing with papa in the water!

Snoozing after a fun afternoon in the sun!

This trip we got to ride jet ski's (it was my first time) and also got to go snorkeling, which was also my first time! It was awesome!! We saw tons of different fish, and a stingray. Also while we were there there was a giant school of fish that was swimming around it stretched out for what seemed like forever--It reminded me of the school of fish from Finding Nemo.

Alexander loved swimming with daddy, even when it was a little chilly.

Alexander and his friend Luna playing with bubbles!! (A new favorite)

This last month we were also able to spend some quality time with Nana, Aunt Nicole, and cousins Miley & Anya at the Zoo!!!

Our stroller train! :)

Alexander is also a wonderful sleeper, no matter where he is!

Playing dress-up with Daddy's Tie!

We have upgraded to the baby Einstein bouncer! and he loves it!!

Alexander loves water no matter where it is, especially helping mommy do dishes in the sink!
