Alex is one!

I cannot believe my little man is a whole year old! The term time flies has never seemed so perfect than when looking back since the day we found out we were pregnant or better yet since the day I met Mike. We just got back from Fish Lake and it was funny to look back and see what changes have occurred over the past 3 yrs. The first time I was there Mike showed up and proposed (cute) the next year we were married and a week away from giving birth to Alexander, and then this year we have our little one year old. It will be interesting to see what the next years have in store.
Fish Lake was Alexanders heaven though, he loved being outside most of the day and being able to crawl right out onto the porch. He also loved the tons of kids constantly around. He even got to go out on a little fishing boat for a little trip on the lake. I wish I would have taken a pic when he was in his life jacket it was so cute.
He is so active now, crawling and standing next to everything. He knows the doorknob is the way out and will stand next to the door and reach for the door knob. He has this little bye-bye wave which means he would like to go on a walk, although it’s not always possible. He also loves to wake up and look out his window at the horses next door, he just smiles and points, it is so cute. If I am on my laptop he will stand next to my chair, I will put him on my lap and he will just smile and hit all the keys and move the mouse. Yesterday he even started wrestling with Mike slobbering all over him and laughing. He LOVES the tub (even empty), the other day he was standing next to it and just dove into it, I grabbed him thinking he would be hurt and he just smiled. It is really fun to see his curiosity for life. Oh yesterday we fed ducks and he loved it and wanted to crawl after them. He can now kind of climb stairs but is struggling getting back down. I tried instructing him but Mr. Independent that he is just got frustrated so the fence has to stay there for the time being.
Oh Mike has now started his final semester in his program and cannot wait to be finished! I am back in school making up the time I took off when I had Alexander. We are both pushing hard and trying to enjoy our time when we are together. I will try to post some bday pics.
We love you all, Starli and Mike
