Alex is 6!

On October 25th 2002, 6 years ago, my life changed forever! At 1 :46 pm, after 5 1/2 hours of labor, my sweet baby Alex was born. Weighing in at 9 lbs 4 oz he surprised everyone with his size. He was such a good baby. He rarely cried, slept really well, and brought so much joy into his parents lives.

Now, 6 years later, he still surprises us with his size and continues to bring us joy. He: is full of energy, LOVES playing with friends, can't get enough treats, loves school and learning, still cuddles with his mom, is so cute and helpful with his little brother Cole, constantly teases his sister Rachel, loves to ride his NEW bike, loves to play video games, is really good at drawing pictures, would live outside if I let him, is extremely strong-willed, has a little bit of a temper problem, has already lost his 2 bottom teeth and re-grown them, begs for sleep-overs with his grandma, will actually eat healthy food without being asked, etc. He's a great kid and we're glad he's ours. Happy birthday bud!

I just have to comment that my cake decorating skills have gotten worse with time, not better. Oh well, his 6th birthday cake was supposed to be a scary face . . . I don't see how splitting down the middle makes it any less scary, right???

Happy B-Day Alex!!! I love all the pictures. Especially the eskimo hood. He was such a beautiful baby. And the picture of him on the mini-chopper is so funny, he looks like a little Dude.
