Alexander the Great....is ONE!

Our little Alexander is one! I'm not exactly where the time went.  This year flew by.  He is already feeding himself, walking, talking and terrorizing his sister!  This has been such an amazing year for our little family.  Alexander continues to follow his road of a healthy life! We have not had any health problems since he was let go from the hospital.  It is a miracle that he has continued to thrive.  He is the happiest little kid around (as long as he isn't hungry).  He spends his time laughing, smiling and being cute.  He completes our family!

The morning of his birthday, we flew to Ohio. That is where Alli was for the last 3 weeks so we have been traveling up to Ohio every weekend. I cried twice on his birthday.  I really wasn't ready for Alexander to enter into the "toddler" world.  I was fine until I got an email saying "Happy Birthday to your Toddler!".  I immediately started crying and of course Kiko looked at me like I was a nut case! 

Puffy eyes? Check! Puffy lips? Check! Yep! Thats me after crying the first time!

So we got to the airport and did our normal "airplane routine" to get him ready for the plane. I will write a blog about how I travel with my kids.  I always get questions about how I travel with two kids and not turn into an alcoholic.  Believe me, I've had some TERRIBLE flights with Alli. I like to call her my "practice baby". So by the time Alexander came, we were pros at traveling! 

Waiting for our flight!

We were going to have a big party in Ohio like we normally do but it is Jamboree in the Hills time and I know all of my friend and family like to be there! So we decided against a big party and opted for a small tiny party.  We plan on having a huge "End of summer/ First birthday bash" in August to celebrate the baby here in Florida.

I knew I wanted to have a baseball theme birthday party for the baby since I found out I was having a boy! My mom loves a theme and so do I! So baseball it was! Alli even helped make some of the baseball cupcakes! She did a great job. 

I wish we could have stayed in Ohio but life still happens here in Florida when Monday comes around.  On the way back to Florida, it was terrible weather and longgggg flights but the kids were excellent!  We weren't going to let bad weather ruin our awesome weekend!

I want to thank everyone who has been there for us throughout this last year.  It has been a seriously wild ride but here we are! Happy! Healthy! Adorable!
