Alex's First Day of Preschool


Alex had his first day of "preschool" on Wednesday! He is enrolled at Bethany Baptist Preschool for their Wednesday morning class for 1-yr-olds. We both did quite well with only a handful of tears between us. :) His teachers must have given him lots of love because when I picked him up he smelled just like them (in a good way)! He was sound asleep (two others were too) when I picked him up--too much excitement for one morning.
Here are some pictures I took that morning. The one of him sitting down is because his backpack was so heavy for him that it pulled him down backwards!





He's Walking!


Alex is officially a toddler now! For about 2-3 weeks now he's been cruising around the house and getting faster every day! If you are wondering why I'm just now sending this news, it's because during the time I've tried to work on this today Alex has: torn off a huge strip of wallpaper border in his room, emptied out a whole cup of water on the floor, unrolled a new roll of papertowels, thrown away a sippy cup and a computer cable, and tipped over a stack of newly-folded towels. Isn't he precious!? Haha!

Anyway, to see videos of Mr.-Into-Everything, click on the links below. By the way, I couldn't figure out how to add captions to the slideshow below "Our Summer", so if you really can't understand a picture you can refer to the same pics (with captions) at www.shivers.photosite.com under "Alexander James". I have to change websites in the next month because Photosite is shutting down, so I'll update you on that when it happens.
