Happy 7th Birthday Alex!!!

This is Alex's first birthday home. He had a birthday party in school (cupcakes), a family party and then a kid party at a slot car racing party place. He had so much fun and got so many gifts! I think he was a little overwhelmed but he enjoyed it all! We also took him to NY City at the end of January for a Chinese New Year celebration. Jake loved it all but Alex seemed quite bored with it. It was as though it was nothing new to him! It was the show at Radio City Music Hall so we expected him to be surprised by it all and love it. He fell asleep about half way through.

Alex is speaking so well already. He is here 6 months now and I am so surprised by his quick understanding of the English language already. His main "mistake" is that he doesn't understand past and present tenses when he is speaking. That's pretty darn good. So, he will say, "Mommy, thi is bleed" if his finger is bleeding. He also says "rook" instead of "look" when he wants to show me something. But then I make a funny face and he corrects himself by trying overly hard to say "LLLLL" in Look. It's very cute!

He is so huggy and mushy ALL the time. He loves being tucked into bed and he loves storytime. He is such a sweetheart!
