Thanksgiving Then and Now

2010 ~ Notice how many times we had to roll up his pants and sleeves?  So what if he was still too small for the clothes I bought.  He still looked cute :)

2011 ~ His clothes fit him so much better this year :)

My baby sure has grown fast!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Our family did.  My sister, Julie, sister in law, Laurie and niece, Kirra surprised the family and showed up at the door the Monday before.  It was a WONDERFUL surprise!

Baby's 1st Pumpkin Patch

We took Alex to a local nersery to purchase his first pumpkin and to take pictures.  Here are just a few of the ones we took:



(I wish he only cost us $12.99 :) )



How did this happen??

My little dude went from this:



(2 days old)



To this, OVERNIGHT!! 



(9 months old)

 Here is another "How did this happen?" moment

The progression of  the car seat:

This was taken the day he came home from the NICU

(9 days old)

This was taken yesterday



 

This was also taken yesterday

He loves his new car seat.  We were able to drive to The Woodlands for dinner without whining from the back seat and made it almost home without whining.  (But, in Alex's defense, he was only whining on the way home a little because it was really close to bedtime) 

I can't believe my little baby is 9 months old!  Time sure has flown by.  We are so blessed to have him in our home.  He has brought us so much joy.  We sure do love him!

till Alex is Eternally Ours!

(officially anyways)

(This is a copy of the invitation we sent for the Sealing of Alex. It looks grainy here, but it's because of the scanner. It looks much better in regular print)
