WEEK SIXTEEN

Sophie finished up her last week of preschool before taking a 2 week vacation to spend with her family. Alex is off and running. Now that Alex can walk he loves to take laps around the house. He is getting into everything. Checking out anything and everything that he can find. We spent lots of time at the park. Alex and Sophie love to have lunch at the park and then play on the swings and slide. This Super Nanny was running around like a crazy person this week getting ready for the Christmas Festivities.

Alex had his one year check up. He is 30" long and weighs in at 22 1/2 pounds.

Watching TV before our last day of preschool.


Everyone came over to celebrate Alex's first birthday.
OH YES ! Karen has become quite the baker.

Alex was not too happy about his birthday. It may have been his Dad's singing that made him cry.

The pony pictures were taken at Sophie's preschool. I was able to buy the photographs and surprise JP and Karen with the pictures on Christmas Day. Sophie does not like strangers so it was a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE that these photos were taken. I told Ms. Janelle that she loves Halloween so tell Sophie that she gets to dress up in a Halloween costume. IT WORKED. Sophie dressed up and got the photo taken. THANKS MS. JANELLE. YOUR THE BEST !!!!
