Alex is a year!


I don't know where the time goes. Alex just had his one year birthday and I feel like just yesterday he was born. Just like his brother he has all his teeth as well. I was thinking he might not get the last one, but the day before his birthday it poked through. I had predicted he'd walk by now as well, but I guess I was a bit off. No walking yet, but I feel like it's on the horizon. He loves to stand and has started to do some cruising on furniture, although I wouldn't exactly say he's skilled at it yet. :) We also have finally gotten him to sleep through the night, much to my relief.

Scott's in week three of his job now and really enjoying it as am I. It's so nice to have him home at night now! Even if he doesn't always make it home for dinner, he's home in time to catch up with me before bed and talk or watch a show. I really feel like this is going to have a positive affect on our family to have him here more. He's really enjoying the work as well. It's very challenging and he has a lot of potential for growth - perfect for him. :)

We've decided that we're heading to Disney World for Thanksgiving this year. Everyone's excited but I think Nicholas is particularly excited to ride the rides and meet some of his favorite characters. He saw a picture of lightening McQueen there an now he's completely sold. lol

Nicholas is doing Soccertots again and loves it. We're still on the hunt for a school for him as well. We're hoping to get him into St. Ann's, but we're not sure if he'll get a spot or not, so we're looking at St. Phillips as well as a few other christian but non-catholic schools.
