ALEX WALKS!!! Finally....

After many long months of Mommy worrying, Alex decided this week he was going to take off walking on his own. One day, he'd barely let go of your hand when you walked with him, and the next day, he was just doing it solo. What a big boy...

Ignore Trav in the video, he's on the phone. :)

Oh, and as an added bonus, you get a monkey sound at the end...."ooo ooo, ahh ahh, Key." Enjoy! YAY!!!!

Hanging Out!

Just some random pics of Alex - a couple with Daddy and Daypa. These are just a few of of my recent favorites...

Where'd you go, Daddy?

Eating Spaghetti

Isn't this one of the classics? Your parents take photos of you with food all over your face to embarrass you with as you get older? Alex really isn't eating much baby food anymore, due to a stubborness to feed himself (huh, wonder where that comes from?) and Miss Michelle, his new babysitter who rocks and gives him new and interesting foods every day! Here's some spaghetti face for ya! Future girlfriends - this one will come out of the vault someday!

Little Man is Getting Big!

Alex (a.k.a. Monkey - used to be Chunky Monkey, but he's thinning out...) is going to be what for Halloween? A MONKEY! :) His costume came yesterday, and I have to say, it's very cute. I put the headpiece on him to see what he would do, and this is what I got:

Okay, Mom...I'll smile for you, but this is the best I've got!

You're not REALLY going to make me wear this, are you?

That's enough...take it off.

I can't wait for Trick or Treating... stay tuned for full-on costume action!

Never too "Young" for Formal Wear!

Alex recently was an honorary ring bearer in Aunt Rhi (and now UNCLE TONY's) wedding. My Aunt made him this matching tux...so cute! You can see, he was dressed like his daddy! Trav's own little "Mini Me." I so wish I would have gotten a picture of them together, but let's just say the tux didn't last long on little A. He was hot, and done with it in about an hour. Ohhh, but it was CUTE! :)

Our Latest Adventures!!!!

Whew! It's been busy at the Young household! On Mother's Day, Alex was baptized and our family and friends were here for a fun weekend. The weekend after that we had family photos taken, and Memorial Day weekend we took a trip to the Fort Worth Zoo. Alex loved the elephants and the penguins!

Last weekend, Auntie Rhi was married in Creston, so we made a trip to Iowa for her beautiful day. And, the fun never stops here in Texas...Travis is in another wedding later this summer and we have activities for that. I am planning to ride part of RAGBRAI in Iowa in July and then we're headed to St. Louis to see friends for the 4th. Hopefully, I'll be better about blogging and get some pics of all our summer adventures up here for all to see. Here are some photos of our latest endeavors for your viewing pleasure! Enjoy!

Oldies But Goodies

These are just a couple of my favorite photos of Alex from when he was just a couple weeks old. One of my boys together and another of his tiny feet...that are getting bigger every day! Since I started the blog late, I didn't have time to post them but wanted to share. Enjoy!
