Family Fun

Alex's first trip to the St. Cloud Mall ever!

Alex snuggling with mom at the mall .

Alex with Great-Grandma Jane Martin at the mall.

My cousin Brent & Lisa's baby girl, Sage, at the bridal shower for Heidi. So sleepy....

My aunt Kay, my cousin Lynn, and my cousin-in-law Janice.

My aunt Patty holding Alex. Patty has a little Alex of her own only he isn't so little anymore!

My cousin Chad & Janice's little boy, Luke.

My cousin, Stacy, and her adorable baby girl Addison.

Alex giving me the stink eye... like "Mom, why do I have to go back in this carseat that I hate?"

It is amazing where he ends up in the crib after a nap. He started out at the other end. I still can't figure out how he moves so much at 7 weeks old. The typical missing sock after the nap! And yes, he sleeps on his tummy. (with dr. approval)

Just an adorable picture of my little Alex's big eyes. He was a happy camper when daddy came home from hunting Monday.

Really, this picture is about a week or two old, but he is wearing this same outfit today. I just love it (and him!)... my little "Stud Muffin"

What a fun weekend and start to this week Alex and I have had. Saturday was a big day. Alex and I picked up Grandma Trierweiler and we headed to St. Cloud for some shopping and relaxing with the rest of the family. Alex of course wasn't a happy camper in the car, but he was a complete angel in the mall. I didn't get a lot of shopping done, but it was fun anyway. We went over to Marty's aunt Laura's house and met up with Laura, Grant, Erin, Cindy, Jodi, Kris, Whitney, Vickey and Jane for a fun night and lots of laughs.

Sunday was also a big day! Alex and I headed to New Munich to my cousin Heidi's bridal shower. It was fun to see everyone once again. Grandma Funk came over to our house Sunday afternoon to visit for a while. Alex doesn't usually like his crib, but he has been getting so much better. He actually took a couple hour nap there Sunday night. Ever since I got approval from the doctor to let him sleep on his tummy, he has been sleeping so much better in general! (or actually sleeping, I should say!)

Yesterday, Alex and I headed to St. Cloud to visit Aunt Sheena, Aunt Dacia, and cousin Macki. It was so nice of them to babysit while I went to the dentist. I'm so glad to finally know what is wrong with my tooth, but unfortunately I need a crown :o( I'll just be happy to have it fixed so it isn't sensitive anymore. Before heading home, I just HAD to go to Byerly's to get some sushi for dinner for Marty and I! I have had massive cravings for it since Alex was born!!!

Well, my little Stud Muffin just woke up from his nap so I'm off to change yet another diaper.
