4 Months Old

Alex is now 4 months old. Boy, time has flown by!

He had his doctor's appointment yesterday and he passed with flying colors. Alex is now 13lbs 9oz and 24.5 inches long. He is progressing as expected. Dr. Halpenny mentioned multiple times how strong Alex is. Alex kept trying to help the doctor perform the exam by holding on to his hands. At the same time Alex kicking his legs non-stop and smiling. Dr. Halpenny told Bill and I that we are going to have our hands full once Alex gets all of this coordinated. Guess Bill and I need to start babyproofing the house!

Dr. Halpenny also mentioned that we should start feeding Alex rice cereal. SO, we gave it a shot last night. Alex wasn't real sure what to think about it, but because it was in his mouth...he ate it.

Opening Weekend, Nov 4 - 5

I finally downloaded some pictures from our trip to South Texas the first weekend of November. On our way down, we spent the night in Austin at Bill's cousin's house. Our room was very cold so after our morning feeding, Alex and I climbed back in to bed. I couldn't resist taking a picture of Bill and Alex cuddling.

Later that morning we stopped by to see Bill's grandparents. It was their first time to meet their great grandson. We had a very nice time visiting. Alex had a blowout while sitting on Grandmommy...she didn't even flinch. I was able to grab Alex before he mess seeped on to her.

Alex also meet his cousin Haylee and Aunt Raina for the first time. Snow White aka Haylee decided she wanted to compare her feet to Alex's.

Lastly, I had to include this picture of Alex in his Baby Anderson Beans. He had pants on earlier in the day but they were stripped off because it really warmed up.

First hunt!

Last weekend we packed up the car and Bill, Alex and I headed to Las Islas for opening weekend of deer season. It was also the weekend of Neal's memorial service on Menus Hill. The service was very nice. The day could not have been any better! Many stories about Neal were shared some sad, some funny but all you could just picture Neal doing.

Since it was opening weekend, it was only appropriate for Alex to go on his first hunt. He did a really good job! It was probably the first time for a baby to be breastfeed in a deer blind at Las Islas, but it wont be the last!
