When Simon first visited Alex, way back when he was just a few months old he started singing him this song and contined each subsequent visit, and it warms my heart that Alex remembers it.

Papa Mone

When my mom left this past April we told Alex that she was on a plane flying home to Papa Mone (Simon), since then all planes lead to Papa Mone:)

The Guitar!!!

Alex has known what a guitar is for a long time. His Grant Margie has one he plays with. But now he owns one of his very own.

2nd Bday Fun

Alex had a great birthday. We opened presents, played outside, ate pizza, and chowed on some brownies and ice cream. Really can any one ask for a better birthday? I think not.

Belly Button

Alex has recently been a little obssessed with his belly button. He walks around with his finger on his belly button all the time, either through his cloths or, if he is lucky and not wearing a onesie. he pulls the shirt and gets to his belly button. There are times that his belly button is actually pretty red from being touched so much. I think its silly and cute, Blaine is worried 10 years from now he will still be doing it and kids at school will make fun of him.
