My how time flies!!! Our baby is 2 today. He is such a blessing to our family. He is really growing up, he talking more and more, he had his first haircut about 6 weeks ago, he is getting taller, he loves to play outside, and his favorite food is most definitley french fries. This little guy is my world and his daddy and I love him so much!!!

Mom & Dad I dont like this hat

So he has had a busy day, we started early and...

he got to have his favorite breakfast pancakes aka (tancakes)

Then we all three went to his preschool where they were having Doughnuts with Daddy, so here they are, they look excited (here you go the famous Anglea smile)

Then Alan's teachers were so sweet & let me bring cupcakes for him & his friends. It was quite a celebration and Alan had fun he really got into the singing Happy Birthday and CLAPPING!!!

Tonight our family (including Aunt Abi) will be taking him to Chick - Fil -A to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Alan

We all Love You

17 Months and Walking

This blog post is ALMOST a month late but better late than never, he started walking right after he turned 17 months and he has not stopped ( he is practically running now). He weighs 24 lbs. 5 ozs. Jack and I are still so proud of this wonderful gift from God he is such a joy and makes us laugh everyday. He is not really trying to talk that much but he sure knows what he wants like he will walk to his bathroom when its time for his bath, he goes to the garage when we ask him if he wants to go bye bye, he know were to look for his snacks & juice and what snack to point to (that he wants at that time).

Mommy & Daddy love you and can't believe that you are almost 1 1/2

Alan's 1st Birthday Party

Wow what a special year it has been!!! This is a very happy (but emotional blog for Mommy), we celebrated Alan's birthday with all of his friend's at our house on March 13th, which was a few days past his brthday, but it was the day that we brought him home from the hospital (last year) so we thought it was quite a day for a celebration. I did an "Old McDonald had a Farm" Theme". It was a beautiful day and lot's of our friend's and family members were able to be here and we are so thankful for that, it was certainly a special day for Alan.

I just want to say how blessed Jack and I feel that God picked us to be Alan's parents. He certainly melts both of our hearts. Being a parent and a wife is most definitely two the greatest honors that God could have given me.

I took Alan to the Dr. for his one year well visit and these are his stats

weight: 21 lbs. 3 ozs.

length: 28 1/2 in.

head circumference: 18 1/4

This is what he thought of us singing Happy Birthday to him

The birthday cake

Some of the things Alan is doing right now are feeding himself a few things like cheerios & puffs, we are about to try whole milk and we are eating some big people food, he is saying hi, da - da & mmm - mmm (meaning something is good), he loves being outside, taking his bath, riding in his car (and honking the horn) and also riding his firetruck (backwards, ha ha), he can crawl anywhere, pull up on anything, and he likes to wave bye bye.

Alan's Family Birthday Party

We went to Decatur to celebrate Alan's birthday the weekend of Valentine's Day, but I wanted to wait until after his party here to post the pictures from both parties. So here are some pictures from his family party. Most of the Lott & Anglea families got to come but we were missing a few Aunt's, Uncle's & Cousin's, but we were so thankful to have everyone there that could make it and one of Alan's Godparent's also got to come (the other one had to work), and her children came too (it was a very special day for him).

Alan's First Birthday...

One year ago today was one of the best days of my life, this little guy was born into our family. He was born at 3:19 p.m. on March 3rd, 2009, he was only 4 lbs. 15 ozs and 19 in. long. He is an absolute gift from God and his Daddy and I love him so much.

I will post more about his special day after his party

We Love You Alan & Happy First Birthday

11 Months

Yesterday Alan turned 11 months old, and we can't believe how fast he is growing and how fast the time has gone by. He is such a joy and we love him so much. We aren't quite sure what we did before him, life just wasn't as fun!!! The Lord has blessed us with this miracle and I thank him for it everyday.

Here he is on his computer
"Mommy I'm trying to write an email ok"
