Oh my Lord! He's 14 months!

So I have been terrible with this blog. I do apologize.

Lex is going to be 14 months this week. I still can't believe how fast this year has gone and how fast the many years ahead will also go. He is a wonderful boy. Veeeeery inquisitive, kind and empathetic. He has an enormous appetite and is about a head taller than all of the other kids his age. He still sleeps quite well although we believe some more teeth are coming through because he has been having some night wakings these past few days (he still only has the 6 teeth that he got when he was around 6 months). He is walking very well but still plops onto his rear quite often. He looooves to climb so we try to take him to the playground every day to explore, swing and to slide down the slide (which is also one of his favorite things to do). He is talking a lot but it is his own language....he is able to say Mama, Dada, Up, Go and the letters X and E. It's pretty darn cute. He loves animals, he and kitty have become BFFs...he loves to kiss her and it is adorable. We took him to FL again this March and he loved being in the sand and thought the ice cold ocean was the greatest thing in the world. His laughter when the waves hit him and Gabe was not to be believed. He's a beach bum in the making!

Over Christmas we went to KY and had a great time with Mom, Dad, Arwyn and Buck. Having a little baby for the holidays....well every day...gives it an entirely new spin. Mom and Dad have continued to try and see him every few months and have succeeded thus far! They're on their way back up here this week and we're all very excited.

We try and visit his Nana (Janice) and Mr. Bob often too! He loves visiting them and on Easter she dressed up like the Easter Bunny for him. I'm not sure that he had any idea what had hit him but he certainly wasn't afraid. He loves his Nana and really loves climbing up and down her carpeted stairs!

For his first Birthday we celebrated at our apt with all of his baby friends, Nana, his Aunt Donna, Cousin Katie, his godparents and his Aunt Erika. We had a great time....rock n roll themed because the child is a dancing fool!

I'm sure there are many other wonderful milestones that I haven't listed but this is a good summary. We can't believe how much we love him and every day brings more laughter and excitement.
