He had his first round of shots and sailed through it!! He is starting to roll to his side and has recently found his hands...its so adorable:)

All good news to report--Healthy Boy!!

I added some photos from our first family vacaction to San Diego this last weekend...We had a blast and loved the weather...We did a ton of walking and just enjoyed the outdoors. Pax could finally be outside and he loved it!

I am back to work tomorrow :( Please wish me luck...Mike is staying busy with work and lots of new networking!!

Paxton: Week 4-Week 8..Enjoy!





August Update

Well it's been just about a month and boy has Paxton just grown right before our eyes!! We are growing more and more in love with him every day. Some of his lastest changes are his big, bright, beautiful smiles and just recently his giggles. I have taken some time over the last few weeks to be sure to capture some of these moments on video. Be sure to check out the videos!! We will have the official results of his height and weight next week so I'll have an additional small post next week (August 18th)...Also, please say your prayers for me...I am dreading the appointment because he will be getting his first shots :( I'm sure he'll be fine after all is said and done...but my heart is already breaking at the thought of it.

Coming up: I head back to work at the end of the month :( ... I am going to miss the time at home with him sooo much. But, I have to tell myself that in some ways it will be good for me (otherwise I won't go). We are taking a visit to San Diego in a week to escape the heat and spend some time outdoors as a family before I return back to work...Paxton may finally enjoy his stoller without sweating. Then, Uncle Scotty returns for a visit. Always a good time!! Lastly, we have narrowed our search and found a diamond in the rough. What I mean by that is, we found a daycare provider for Paxton (one day per week), less than 1/4 mile away from home. She is an in home provider which excites us and shares many of our same values. We will keep you posted as to how he does.
Well, that's quite a long update :) We'll write again soon!! Videos will be up shortly...Love to all..

Love,
Team Alexander

July Update

So far July has been, well, HOT!! Paxton and I have been bracing the summer by spending most of our days indoors. We have enjoyed our time with Grandma and Grandpa Alexander and of course our visits with Grandma and Granddad Williams. We have made a few outings, mostly consisting of errands and visits to AZ Bread Co. (thank Uncle David, Amanda, and Jen :)...I am starting some projects before I return back to work...baby book, rearranging of furniture, and soon back to the gym...We are beginning our search for childcare :( and I am really not looking forward to leaving him. And I love my job and never thought the words would leave my mouth but...I am not looking forward to returning to work. 10 hours a day away from him seems like forever right now!!

Michael has finished his Masters (YAY!!) and is back busy at work and working on some side projects of his own...We'll keep you posted on those as they develop!

That's all for now...we will continue to brace this heat and enjoy the time with family!

Love,
Team Alexander

New July Favorites!

Our first moment as a family!!!

Grab a tissue...

Paxton Says Hello!


HELLO WORLD...My mom and dad welcomed me into the world along with my entire family. I was 7lbs. 10 oz. and 21 inches long! It was a 25 + hour wait but I arrived safely with very few complications :)...I arrived two weeks ago today on 06/15/10... I am excited to get to know all of you. I have already learned so much from everyone around me and can't wait to explore this world!! Check back often to see pictures of me grow.
