This week Alex turned 17 months old! He's made some huge leaps forward this past week. He now pulls himself up unassisted and also drinks from a sippy cup! He doesn't hold onto it himself yet, and we're still working on teaching him to feed himself, but he sure has come a long way from 6 weeks ago when we brought him home!

His surgery is scheduled for May 24th. He has to have 3 testosterone booster shots before the surgery (which have to be spaced at 3-4 week intervals) so that is why the surgery isn't until then. He gets his first shot next Monday.

Today was beautiful outside and we spent most of the day outdoors. We went to 2 parks and Alex took his first wagon ride! He wasn't too sure of it at first, but after he got use to it I think he enjoyed it (except for the few times Sam tried laying on him)! I'm exhausted tonight after basically holding Alex all day. I know you're not suppose to wish things to come too early for your kids..but it will be so much easier when Alex walks! I caried him all over today while pushing Sam on his tricycle, pushing Sam on the swing, playing with Sam at the playgound, etc... I'm worn out!

Here are a few pictures from the past few we









eks!
