Our First Anniversary!

Abe and I celebrated our first anniversary on Sunday. That's right we've maganed to makw it through a year of marriage---with a new baby and a new house to go along with it! On September 21, 2007 we were married at the Baltimore City Courthouse, and then had a "church" wedding on August 10 of this year. September 21st also happens to be the anniversary of the day we met, which is pretty cool if you ask me! We kept the day pretty low key, and celebrated it on Saturday by going to Don Pablos to eat some Mexican food. We prefer to celebrate the September anniversary because it's really or true anniversary, whereas August 10 was really just for show I guess. Anyway, it was a nice day and we had a great time together as a family. We took Alex with us of course, and he kept squealing, and LOUD! It was embarassing and hilarious at the same time! I thought the guy behind us was going to kill us, due to the fact that he was giving us the look of death the whole time! LOL. It seemed like Alex knew he was getting on the guys nerves, because he just got louder each time the guy looked at us. Sometimes I think most of the general no-children public thinks those of us with small children should stay locked up in the hosue or something. Besides his new found talent for squealing at the top of his lungs, Alex is also getting very good at sitting up! He can balance himself very well now and sits up for several minutes without toppling over! I'll post a video later tonight once I fiure out how to turn it right side up since I had the camera turned sideways when filming it. He can even regain balance when he starts to tip to one side, which you'll see in the video. He's sitting more straight up to, instead of leaning forward like he was doing before. He's also still a huge fan of his swing, even though his feet sort of hang over the edge. He just loves it, still sleeps in it, and won't give it up! Me and Abe always joke that when we decide to have a second, the baby will have to fight him for it! He also absolutely loves his toys! I know what he'll be asking for come Christmas! Abe said when he drops Alex off at daycare he just puts him on the floor and Alex immediately grabs at the toys on the floor and forgets Abe even exists! LOL. He just loves anything that makes noise,lights up and especially anything that moves! In other news--I am so excited that it's fall!!!! Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons. Fall has such nice weather and beautiful scenery when we drive back home to the mountains. I am so excited to pick out Alex's first pumpkin, take him to his first visit to Weber's Farm, and see him in his very first Halloween costume! Until next time...
