Happy Birthday Cousin Alex!

On Saturday, the family went to Uncle Chris and Auntie Christa's house for Alex's second birthday. He's such a big boy now. Alex really enjoyed his Diego rescue pack that Ella got for him along with the Deigo doll from cousin Matthew.
Here is the first pic of all three cousins together (finally!): Ella (9 months old), Matthew (3 months old), and Alex (2 years old). In 10 weeks, we'll be adding a fourth baby to the family. Auntie Christa has an active little one in her belly.


Here's Ella trying to comfort baby Matthew. She especially likes to hold his hand and to touch him whenever he's close.


Here is Mommy with her nephew, the birthday boy.

Alex really likes saying "Uncle Darren". He enjoys talking to him all of the time now. It's quite cute to hear him chatter away. What's even more amusing is that Darren is the only one who Alex has given an "uncle" title to. The rest of us are simply "Julie", "Andrew", and "Lisa". It's hilarious! We think that Alex would really enjoy a visit to Uncle Darren's work so that he can see all of the big pieces of equipment.
It was a fun day. Ella enjoyed playing with Alex's toys. She was still afraid of all men at the party. Thankfully, she slept all the wat home in the car.
Stay tuned for more pics from Saturday!
