1 week down...

The past week has definitely been an adventure...

For instance...
during a visit from my cousins at the hospital, Alex continuously said "watch me" and preceded to fall on the floor.

Alex told our neighbor "My baby brother, Connor, came out of my Mommy's butt".

EVERY time Connor cries, Alex believes that I need to feed him. So he will tell me to "Milk Connor".

When my parents arrived on Father's Day, Alex went back to get sleeping Connor. Alex climbed up on the crib, reached down, picked up Connor, and brought Connor down the hall for my Mom to hold. Normally, you have to lower the crib bed to keep the baby from crawling out of the crib... not lower it to keep big brothers from climbing in...

Boys are known for spraying people during diaper changes. So far the score is Mommy 0, Daddy 1, and Connor 3.

Every 10 minutes, Alex feels the need to "check on" Connor. Sleeping or not sleeping, Connor receives a visitor and normally a few kisses from his big brother.

35th Birthday

 
 
For Pat's 35th birthday, Abuelos got Alex and Pat a rescue fire helicopter. Needless to say, Pat does not get to play with it much.

The End of TBall

 

T-Ball has come to an end. The last game was not very exciting but the kids LOVED their medals and trophies :) Now, everyday, Alex wants to go to practice and games.

Swingset

Over Memorial Day weekend, Pat, Abuelo, Uncle Steve & Josh were able to get the Carbaugh's swingset. It took a lot of back work, muscle, and time...but.. Alex LOVES it :)
He has his swings, a slide, a wheel, and a newly added spotting scope.

Emmittsburg Carnival

A few weeks ago, we were able to go to the Emmittsburg Carnival. Sym was able to go along with us and the pair (Alex and Sym) seemed to have a blast. They were able to ride rides (the cars were their favorites), play games (the highlight) and eat a funnel cake. A very good night that left Alex asking for a carnival every weekend.

Clingy

 

Lately, Alex has been a bit insecure and very cuddly. Weekends/holidays, Alex is constantly by our sides earlier and earlier in the morning :)
