year old check up.

'"Thinking about what to do next"

Today, we went for Alex's one year check up and he is doing really well. He wanted to walk around the room, so whenever, doctor Anderson tried to check him, he put up a good fight. when tried to look at his throat, he will hold the tongue between his teeth and the doctor had to pull hard to get it out. He thought, that really funny watching the doctor trying to get it out between his teeth. He also had his shots today, four of them, and cry for about 5 min. and nap as soon as we got home.

He weights 20 lb 4 1/2 oz, 30 1/4 inches tall and his head is 46 1/2 cms. He had gotten 67% taller since his last check up, so we are still not sure how tall he will be. . . But I am hoping he will be as tall as his grandpas.

Hanging out with the boys.

In the morning before we had Alex party, we went to play in outside and I got to learn the arckery. We had ton of fun and that was my first time. I toke ton of pictures, so I post as much as I can.

Happy Birthday Alex !!!

We had a great birthday for Alex and he got spoil all the way. He had ton of presents and Uncle Jim drove two hours with his cousins to come and celebrate with him, Thanks Jim. Grandpa grilled hot dogs for the boys and surpringly Alex ate a whole hot dog all by himself. Grandma made him his special soy cake which he got to put all over himself, the high chair and the floor. We had a great time watching him attacked his cake and open his presents and played with everyone. It is being such a wonderful year watching grow and I am looking forward to many more. He is a joyful blessing and a great kid to be around.
