Happy Family Day to Alton!

February 1st marked Alton's 2 year Family Day Anniversary.  We received him at the age of 10 months old and he was a happy, smiling, adorable little monkey with more energy then you can imagine:)  He was a good sleeper right from the start and loved eating.  He got around by army crawling and starting to pull himself up to stand on the furniture after a few weeks of being with us.  From the beginning he sucked his fingers when he's tired and was a daddy's boy right from the start.  Today he is almost 3 years old and is learning and growing so much.  He loves his toy trucks, cars and tractors and has amazing large motor skills-riding a scooter, drop kicking balls and throwing a football like nobody's business. We still can't get him to eat a single vegetable but he overall is still a good eater.  He still sucks his finger when he is tired and loves his "blue blanket" and "Puppy Joe Joe" stuffed dog.  He is sweet and charming and we love him so much!

Meeting Alton for the first time.  February 1, 2011.


He was all tuckered out from the excitement and fell asleep on the ride back to the hotel. 
Back at Hotel Paris.
Smiley boy!
I love eating!
  To celebrate we went out to dinner and on the way out we ran to the back yard to hang up this cute pine cone birdfeeder Alton made at school.  February 1, 2013.
