Halloween

Halloween went very quickly. At first I didn't think it was coming fast enough because we had all this candy and the temptation to eat it came with it. We were trying very hard to have it last til' Halloween. The candy did last, but no kids showed up to take it off of our hands.
That day was a very busy day. In the morning I had visiting teaching and then the rest of the day was spent making cookies for a Halloween party that Derek's school club was participating in. So, we then had to go and drop those off at the party, have them take pictures of Alex, because he is just so cute. After getting home from that we were planning on trick or treaters to stop by, but no such luck. SO, out came the scary movie after Alex went to sleep, which was a bad idea, because I then could not sleep, "I was scared!"
Alex was a pumpkin for Halloween, at the party, he won another costume, which was a good thing because he ended up have a very messy diaper while we were out.

Nose

Alex is growing up so fast, and he is so smart. Today I had him laying on the bed and I was playing with him. He reached up and touched my forehead and then my cheeks, and I asked him where was mommy's nose, he then grabbed my nose. I was so proud of him, so I praised him for being so smart. He gave me this big smile like, "yes, mommy I am smart, and I am glad that you know it".

Cousins

We went up to Mesa for Honors blessing. It was a lot of fun for me to see my first niece, and for them to see Alex. We got to see some of the cousins together, it was so cute that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a picture of it.

July 4

For July 4th, we had some of Derek's family come down. Derek's sister, Megan gave Alex a little 4th of July shirt, so we had Alex wear it. Doesn't he look cute!

Alex Robert Kerr

Alex was born on the eighteenth of May, 2008. He weighed five pounds, five ounces, and was nineteen and a half inches long (at least that is what the hospital measured him at), but a few days later he was eighteen and a half inches long, so we don't really know how long he was when he was born. Everything went well when he was born.
When I went into labor, I didn't really know it, because I had been having contraction off and on for the past few days. So< I woke up at 2:00 am and was having contractions, so I decided to take a shower, hoping it would help. After the shower I laid back down to go back to sleep, but then the contractions got worst, so I woke Derek up at 4:30 am, and he was helping through it all. We called mom at about 6:30 am and before I had a chance to tell her anything she said, "I'll be right over, I have been up all night feeling your contractions." We went into the hospital at 9:30 am, He was born at 2:48 pm.
