Three Years Ago Today...

I was exhausted after 29 hours of labor and finally got to meet my little man! Alex was born around 7pm, weighed 8lbs, 11oz and was 21 inches long. He was a challenging baby with lots of medical problems - reflux, constant congestion, ear infections, etc. and very high needs because of it. Around 18 months he started growing out of all of it and his personality really started to bloom.

Today Alex is smart, witty, affectionate, and so very funny! Not a day goes by when he doesn't tell me he loves me several times, and says or does something that makes me laugh. He loves to give hugs and be in the middle of anything going on. He still has some speech delays but he is expressive and has a fantastic imagination. He also understands concepts way beyond his age.

He is all boy and loves Buzz Lightyear, Little Einsteins' Rocket, airplanes, helicopters, jets, spaceships, dinosaurs, trains, and aliens. He also likes to sing and dance. Alex is quite the character and despite the rocky start, he has made my life so much better! Happy Birthday Alex!
