Alexander's birthday

    I could hear Alex crying in his crib.  I figured he needed a diaper change.  So I dragged myself out of bed.  Changed his diaper, gave him a sippy of water and went back to bed.  I glance at my phone to see what time it was it 2:20am.  He was officially one year and two minutes old.   Our little baby is growing up. 
     For his birthday we decided to spend the day at the zoo.  We went to lunch first and then up to the zoo.  We had a little fear in our hearts it would rain and spoil the day, yet it was a nice day.  The girls wanted to ride the train around the savanna exhibit.  So me and kids went while Matt babysat the stroller.  (He said he had no desire to ride the train)  Alex loved it he giggled the whole way.  The ladies at the gift shop had bubble guns out spraying the kids while they danced to music.  The girls loved it.  Alex loved the bubbles from his stroller.  Everyone of course commented how adorable he is.  He seemed to notice the animals more this trip as he keep waving when one would come near.  The zoo keepers had several little animals out for everyone to meet an owl, ferret, tortoise, and several small birds. 
   For dinner we had taco at home a favorite of everyone.  We didn't do cake for his birthday.  We were all a little sick of cake since we had cake on Matt's birthday, birthday dinner and Alex's birthday party.  That is three times in about a week.  So Alex got a birthday donut and we had banana splits.  No one complain the lack of cake since we had it so much.  Though I did get told Emme's cake order for her birthday.
