One Month Already!

I can't believe how the time has already flown and he is one month already. We just adore this little guy! At his two week appointment he was 7lbs 12 oz and 20 1/4  inches long. He is bigger now for sure! 

 He can already do so many things!
He: *recognizes our faces (or at least we would like to think he does!)
*follows objects briefly
*raises his head when on belly
*lays quietly and listens intently to our voice
*turns head toward direction of sound
*responds to sounds
*smiles spontaneously
*vocalizes sounds
*holds head up for short periods of time
Isn't he just wonderful?!



Other Happenings in Alvin's Life & Ours


 Alvin sure loves his daddy!
 Alvin's first Halloween! We honestly didn't do much but we did enjoy having trick or treaters for the first time!
 Alvin's first photo shoot...to share later!
 Alvin meeting his great grandparents for the first time!
 Alvin holding my finger...nothing better!
 Happy Birthday to me! I was so thrilled that we finally have a kitchen big enough to have one of these! Yaya!
 So our first use went to making these yummy cookies...pretzel cookies...sooo good by the way!
 Even Alvin wanted to try them!
Alvin riding! He is a quick learner!
 Alvin and his mommy.
 Alvin meeting more of his great grandparents for the first time! He sure is lucky to have such wonderful great grandparents.

 One weekend on a whim we drove out to the happening place of Arco (anything but happening with its 994 population!) But we did enjoy lunch at the Pickle's Place!
 This last weekend we were able to go out to Boise so Alvin could meet his great grandparents and while we were there we were able to attend the Boise Temple Open house. It was so great and special to be able to have Alvin with us in the temple.
My little man!

The Many Faces of Alvin

Alvin has so many cute expressions and noises we just can't get over it! 













Even now we just can't believe he is ours! What a wonderful amazing blessing a baby can be! 

The Nursery!

Here is Alvin's room! We were busy the weeks before trying to get it all ready and put together and I have been so happy with how it turned out!
