All about Alex

Alex had a check-up at the doctor's office today. He is seven weeks now and doing great. He weighs 10lbs 9oz and is 20 3/4 inches long. The doctor affectionately called him "chubby" and I'd have to agree! He goes in a week for shots and then again at 4 months (which will be in January). He's given us a couple smiles and is starting to watch very closely when someone talks to him. He loves looking at Charlie and already seems to be interested in what he's doing. All in all, things are going well and it's amazing how much he's grown already!

P.S. Thanks to Uncle Matt and cousin Molly for picking out such a cute shirt for Alex! This was one of his very first gifts in the hospital and I think it looks just darling. You can tell Alex agrees, the way he's "posing!"

Last glimpse of summer

As I was organizing some of our photos, I came across this series that I am calling "last glimpse of summer." These were taken just a couple days before Alex was born and on one of the last really nice, summer days of the year. To me, they just scream SUMMER with the sunburn cheeks, dripping popsicle, flowers blooming in the background, etc. Just thought it was nice to remember days like this now that they are calling for snow in the near future. Yikes!

Pumpkin farm fun!

We've been taking full advantage of the fall season and visited the Family Farm last week-end. It was a perfect fall day and Charlie had a great time! He got to feed some animals, go on a hay ride and pick out the perfect pumpkin. Alex slept through the whole thing but we're sure he had fun too. He'll be into it next year!

Welcome to our blog

We've decided to move into the 21st Century and start blogging. Now that Alex has arrived, we thought this would be a good way to keep in touch with our family and friends. Hope you enjoy it and we promise to update frequently!

Love,

Brian, Emily, Charlie & Alex
