Happy BIrthday Alex!!

Today is Alex's birthday. He is two years old. There are many times that Bill and I reminisce about going to Guatemala to visit and going back to pick him up. It seems like such a long time ago, but was really only a little over a year ago that we did it. It is hard to believe that he is two and it feels good to see the growth, physically and cognitively. Slowly we are seeing vocabulary emerge. He has always had a great sense of humor, always laughed at everything. You know, when Alex came home last year at 11 1/2 months, he wasn't really crawling, just doing the army crawl. He could sit, but he couldn't pull himself up on anything, he couldn't walk, and wasn't even close. He has made so much progress and now is running and climbing and jumping and roughhousing with Dad and his sisters. It is good to see!
Tonight we are going to have a little cake and do a few presents just from our family. He will have birthday with both grandparents later. I will post pictures of his party later.
