Alex's first birthday and trip to Crescent Beach

It is hard to believe, but my little baby has turned one! It really has been the most amazing year, and probably one of the best of my life. I took Alex for his check up, and he currently weighs 21 lbs and 8 oz. He is 33" long, and has a head circumference of 19.5". Compared to birth, Alex has really grown into his head! As most of you have seen, Alex is walking up a storm, as well as talking non-stop. He clearly says "Mama", "Dada", and "Nana", as well as sit, which isn't always understandable, and usually sounds like "shit".

I have been back to work for 2 months now, and aside from getting someone fired, it's going pretty good. I seem to have finally proven my worth, and so people have stopped giving me a hard time there. I think too, I just stopped caring, and so i started doing better. Alex continues to love daycare, and he usually is miserable everyday when we bring him home. Up until the day before his birthday, Alex was still getting up once in the night; since then, he has slept through the night for the last 5 nights! I'm so excited, although he does still find it necessary to wake up at 5:15am everyday...That part is annoying!

I have posted some video from our day at Crescent Beach, which Alex loved, and some pictures and video from his birthday. All in all, his party went off without a hitch, except that I got all emotional when i read his card from us and started crying...My poor child, his mother is a head case!

Anyways, enjoy!
