HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY ALEXANDER, ALEX, AL, BIRDIE, BIRDIE JOHN, BIRD, HOOPER, HOOVER, BOO, BUBB, BABY ALEX!!!!

It's my baby's birthday--it's not easy knowing my last one is a double digit now. We forget what time exactly he was born (sometime in the afternoon--hey, he's the third child, didn't you read that post last week?). He was our biggest by a few ounces, 9 pounds 11 oz (Niki came in at 9'8"). He came into our family several years younger than his brother and sister, so he's been held and loved and kissed often by all of us as you can imagine.

Alex has picked up a lot of nicknames over his little lifetime (see above). We call him Birdie most often because when we asked his brother Cody what he thought we should name him, he figured Big Bird would be fine. He was five, so that was his world! Could have been Barney, wheww!

This morning he was up earlier than usual, a little more silly than usual (proof he's mine). Tonight John took off from teaching so he could have dinner, open presents and eat cake (lime Jell-O) with us. I think Niki has to work, so maybe I can talk him into dining at Applebees so she can sing to him, too!

Here's my 10 year old, ready for school

Here he is at two months--poor guy had the chicken pox, it was very sad to see him so miserable and not be able to fix it for him.
And a few months later--a little more of that red hair coming in--it's kind of strawberry blond now. He gets it from his grandfather, John's dad. (Hi, Dad)This is my Johnny--no reason he's in here, I just thought he looked particularly handsome this morning, lol!
