Happy Birthday, Alex!

How has it been SEVEN years since Alex was this tiny?














It just doesn't seem possible that the little screaming baby has become such an awesome big kid. A really, really big kid.

 

















This has been a big year! In past year Alex moved into the "big" school and has done an amazing job in first grade. He has learned to balance homework with sports practices and having friends come over to play.

He played basketball for the first time and started reading chapter books. He got really, really good at math and learned to tie his shoes.

He can jump rope, make a free throw and tell a knock-knock joke. He has spent the night with friends, learned more sporting statistics than I will ever know and hit a golf ball more than 100 yards.

He is sweet and kind and caring and everybody's friend. I love this kid! Happy 7th birthday to my big boy!
