St. Patrick's Day 2011 - My sister kept Alec today, I think Alec really enjoyed the one on one time with his Aunt. I think she had a good time too! :)

These pics are after bath and right before bed. Alec loves to run around naked, he ran straight over to Eric and wanted to be held. With the warmer weather,  I dressed Alec in lighter clothing for bed. I pulled out a 24 month onesie that we got at one of our baby showers. I remember thinking how big those onesies looked and how it would be forever until we used them. Well, we almost missed our chance the onesies are almost too small!

Wednesday - Spring is here and I'm loving it! Since the weather was so nice and my sister was here, I took the afternoon off and we went to the zoo. Alec had a great time. Although, I think he was more interested in the plants and trashcans than the actual animals.

He got to pet an elephant, he didn't cry but when I asked him if he wanted to pet the elephant again he said a firm "NO!" and shook his head. He really liked the tigers and kept saying "cat" over and over.  He also liked the coy ponds and was waving at the fish.

Overall, he was pretty good. I let him get out of the stroller and roam a little. The zoo wasn't too busy so it worked pretty well. He hated getting back in the stroller and through a fit every time I put him back in there. He's really into testing me at this phase.

It'll be fun to visit the zoo in the future and see how much more he understands and pays attention to. We are very lucky to live in a city with a nice zoo and fun things for Alec to do.

Tuesday - My sister came to visit for a few days and Alec was being extra silly with her around. That little rotten face, just so cute! Good news for us, cantaloupe is back in season. Alec loves it and can't get enough. Fruit is one thing he will consistently eat - I guess that's better than candy.

March Madness in the Wyles' House! Future basketball player? Maybe, but most likely he just really likes to hear us cheer when he makes a basket! :)

Sunday - Just a lazy Sunday around the house. We went outside to enjoy the weather and go for a walk. Alec was upset when we came back in as you can tell in the last picture. He loves the outside.

Busy Saturday! - We started the weekend by going to the 4th birthday party for our cousin Rachel. She had a sweet little party at her house. There was lots of cupcake eating, a game of pin the tail on the donkey, and general silliness. After cake and presents, we all went outside to enjoy the great spring weather.

After the party, we went shoe shopping for Alec. Alec's foot had grown a size and a half. He now wears a 6.5 wide shoe! He got two great pairs of shoes and he loves them! He even played with them after I took them off. It's really funny how much he loves shoes.
