can you believe it?


Alexander is 4 months old today! It seems that he's been part of our family forever... he fits right in. Shhh... don't tell his brothers, but he is our best baby yet! Here are some facts about the adorable Alex:
*He sleeps through the night--most nights from 8:30 until 7 in the a.m. James doesn't even do that.
*He is incredibly smiley. As long as someone is talking with him he is as content as can be... he just wants to be included in the party.
*He hates being sweaty!
*He loves holding onto things.
*He's not one to hold grudges--even when an older brother accidentally hits him with a toy or purposely steps on him (James).
*He doesn't even leak out of his diapers like his brothers did.
*His favorite way to sleep is on his tummy... but he's a huge drooler so his sheets usually get pretty damp.
*He loves taking baths with William and James. He laughs the whole time!
*He is adored by his brothers.
We are so blessed to have him in our family! Happy 4 months Alex!!

  2. Happy 4 months Alexander. It seems like he should be older for some reason though . . .

  3. Cute. Gray has never liked being left out, either. Even form an early age.

  4. Amy... I agree. I feel like he should be older as well. It seems like he's been in our family forever!

  6. I remember saying when he was born that he was the best baby I had ever seen. (He doesn't even spit up.--You forgot that part.) He is adorable.

  9. He is so cute. We have his baby announcement on our fridge and my VTs were saying how adorable he is--I had to agree with them.

  13. duh, I meant to say Alexander, not James... though I'm sure James would rather I didn't sweat on him either.
