Alex 5 months

I cannot believe our little Alex is already almost 6 months old! My little man has been such a fun addition to our family. A few things about Alex at 5 months: he loves to growl! He thinks it's funny while nursing, to pull on me and growl. Weirdo... ;) He loves loud noises. A friend got a new dog and while we were over she put him a kennel to keep him from jumping up on us. The dog had a very loud obnoxious bark but Alex loved it! He laughed and laughed! He blabbers a ton. The last couple nights he has woken at 4 am just to blab. He loves kisses and kind of attacks us to give us one....very slobbery I might add. He is super ticklish....especially on either side of his "man boobies" as Adison likes to call them. Alex was meant for our family. It's fun to see a boy version of our girls! Sometimes, ok, a lot of times, having 5 children is rough. Everyone wants your attention at once it seems, the amount of messes they make is incredible. I'm constantly exhausted and drained. But....BUT...I wouldn't trade it for anything; sleep, a maid, money, nothing. So adding this little man of mine to the mix was the 6th greatest decision I ever made! It's fun to see what a little boy is like, having grown up with no brothers. He's my little buddy for sure! A few weeks ago a couple friends from the ward came over to take some pictures of the boy. One, an experienced photographer with her own business and the other wanting to learn to start her own. These are a few that Andrea took, the experienced one. I have yet to see all of Pam's, but from the couple she showed me she's going to be a terrific photographer!
