Simple Joys

This past week we had some new things happen. They may seem simple but they were very exciting to us.

The most exciting was that on Sunday, Alex made it through the full three hour block of church without spending any time in the hall. Although Brandon and I were the librarians this week so he got to run around a little then. But during the last hour of church Alex fell asleep in Brandon's arms. This is something he has not done since he was 6 months old. Since it was a 5th Sunday we both got to enjoy some time holding him while he slept. Alex is a great sleeper but only in his bed so I relished the time I got to hold him sleeping in my arms. It may never happen again.

I stole a few quick pictures with my phone.



Also, this week we upgraded Alex to a bigger car seat. He was finally too long for his baby one. Now he is facing forward and we love being able to actually see him in the car. He loves it too.





On Memorial Day we had grand plans to go to the Zoo with Brandon's family and see the dinosaurs but since the weather was so sketchy we decided to just see a movie instead. I was a little nervous to take Alex because we haven't taken him to a movie since he was a newborn and holding still is not one of his strongest qualities. We saw Kung Fu Panda 2 and to our surprise he did great. He got a little fussy towards the end of the movie but stayed in our laps the whole time. It is crazy how much he has grown up in just a year.
