Birthday's - Nana, Nono and Uncle David

Alex turned 1 on June 11. He had 2 birthday parties. 1 big one on June 7 with my neighbors and friends from high school, college and work along with all their kids. The other one was with with family on June 22 when Carl's parents came in for a week. He got lots of wonderful toys and clothes, everyone was so generous. Alex LOVES balloons - yes we did get them in the fan at one point! He did great with his cakes, by the 2nd one he was a pro and got the chocolate all over his face. The pictures all turned out wonderful. Please check out the link to Stephanie Campbell Photography on the left and then look under the current slide shows for the 3 shows with Alex.

Nono, Nana and Uncle David were her for a week to visit and take care of Alex. Alex became VERY attached to his Nono, he could not even go to the bathroom without him! Poor Nana had to have a very unhappy baby when we left each morning until Nono or Uncle David came down.
They took him swimming at the pool and taught him how to go down the stairs all by himself. They also taught him to blow his nose, if you ask him, he will put his hand up to his nose and blow. We had been working with him to put his hands up for touchdown in preparation for football season... Nana worked with him and now he is a pro at it. Poor David was sick for the last few days they were here, but Alex thought he was great at bouncing him on his zebra - it was a sight to see Alex would sit on the zebra and David would stand next to him and use his foot to bounce it up and down. Of course Alex can do it himself... but why when you have an Uncle David there! We really enjoyed having them here and wish they could come more often.
