Our Trip to San Antonio

Last weekend, I got brave and took off with Alex to San Antonio to visit the Walkers! Sondra went to med school with me. Jeremiah and I got to be very good friends with them through med school. We have missed them so much since we moved to Georgia! They had a little boy named Max last fall and he is now 15 months old. I never got to go meet him last year because of residency and then pregnancy, so I finally got to meet him for the first time!!

Alex did great on the car ride to San Antonio, but that was the extent of his good behavior. The rest of the weekend, he was extremely fussy and slept terribly. I guess it goes to show that he is getting used to the routine/schedule he has at home and I just wasn't able to keep it up away from home.

Aside from Alex's fussiness, I had a great time visiting with them! Max is so much fun...walking, talking, and curious about the world! It's hard to believe that Alex will be that way in less than a year!! The other great thing about the trip was that Alex got to try out all of Max's toys! It really helped me know what Santa Claus should bring for Christmas.

Max was so cute. When his mommy was holding Alex, he got kind of jealous and came up and tried to push Alex away. It was funny. Later, he was so sweet though. When Alex was in the swing, he went to the back of it and pushed it to make it go faster. It was so sweet!! It'll be so much fun to watch these two grow up and be friends in the years to come! I can tell they will be trouble... Hopefully, we will be able to convince Jeremiah that we need to move back to Texas and live near them, so that they can play and get into trouble together all the time!! Everyone should remind Jeremiah of this request ALL THE TIME!!!





Alex's new thing last week was constantly grabbing his feet. Any time you layed him on his back, he put his legs up and grabbed his toes. Sometimes, he can get his toes to his mouth. The Bum Genius diapers are a little bulky though, so they make it harder. He keeps trying anyway though! MiMi calls it his 'cheerleader' move! :)
