Alex's Birthday Party

I just wanted to take minute to tell everyone in the family and everyone that has supported us through this thank you so much!!!!!!! There is absolutely no way that we could have made it through this without you. Family and friends are absolutely crucial in this life. Alex has the best of both family and friends and we are truly grateful. Alex had a wonderful birthday party and it was because of all of you that it was great. Thank you so much!!! We have to spoil our little boy as much and as often as we can because he is a gift to our family and he has brought so much happiness and love to this family. We all know how hard things are for him and the road that lays ahead of him is harder than anything that I would want to experience. Sorry I have a tendency to go on but I wanted to tell everyone thank you for the prayers the support and the love you have given us.

Happy Birthday Alex! and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today our little boy turned 1 year old! I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. We have been through so much over the last year. No one could have prepared us for the trip we were about to embark on when he was born. We truly feel blessed to have our healthy little boy here with us today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!

Pictures, Pictures, and More Pictures

These are some of my favorite pictures of Alex from the last 11 months!

Another appointment!!

Today Alex went to his monthly appointment at Primary Children's. Everything looked good he has now officially been off of his feeding tube for 3 weeks this is a huge YAY. He was down a little in weight he only weighed in at a whopping 16 pounds 12 ounces. But we'll take it. All things considered that's pretty good. He has become a very busy boy over the last several weeks going from just scooting to full blown crawling everywhere. (Yikes busy kid!!!!)

That's about all I can think of for now but I'm sure that Jessica will be adding new pictures soon and updating the blog as well. This is definitely something new for me I have never blogged before so I'll do the best I can.
