Our baby Alex is not a baby anymore. He turned two this past Friday. He was absolutely clueless as to what it meant to have a birthday but he sure did enjoy the large dump truck we bought him. And he knows how to hold up two fingers to show his age.
I always have such a difficult time writing about Alex. It’s not because of a lack of love for him. I just can’t seem to find the words. We adore our Alex. He has such a chubby face that lights up frequently with his big adorable grin. He is happy and playful. He loves to read and play with his cars and trains. And thanks to Grandma Betsy he is crazy about buses. Sometimes he throws his arms around my neck in a giant hug and just clings to me and it melts my heart. He’s not a big kisser but he is very friendly and sweet and does give his hugs pretty freely.
Alex is such a smart little fellow. He already knows the entire alphabet. Not only can he say the letters but he can also recognize them all. He can almost count to ten. And his vocabulary is expanding rapidly. We are so proud of him.
God has really blessed us with this little guy. He has been a wonderful playmate for Robert and he was always such a good baby. He is currently affected by the horrible “terrible twos” disease but he is still a very lovable boy and he brings so much joy to our lives daily.
Sunday afternoon we celebrated Alex’s birthday with lots and lots of family. There were nine cousins running around (well, I guess seven really as two of those cousins are very small babies) and it was absolutely chaotic and wonderful. I am so grateful that God has blessed us with this wonderful home that is big enough for all of us to fit in. Alex enjoyed opening his presents and making a huge mess in his cake. See what I mean?
Happy Birthday sweet Alexander. We love you so very much.
