Baby pictures and Alden's 2 yr old pictures

Baby Calvin
He is a sweet little baby, he has been such a good little one. He sleeps and eats well and is great to snuggle with... We couldn't ask for anything more we have been greatly blessed to have him in our home.

Alden at 2 yrs old
He is a joy to have around. Things he loves are the computer, playing ball, playing outside, dancing, and having anything in his bottle. He says quite a few things now, what I here the most though is yes, no, i want that or I don't want it, Alden's turn, jump, dance, snack, movie, juice, and milk.

Beans

Tonight Alden was asking for something and I couldn't understand him... a common assurance. So I asked him to show me what he wanted, he pointed in the direction of some chocolate chip cookies we had just made, even though what he was saying didn't sound at all like cookie I asked if that is what he wanted. He responded, "No, eans" next to the cookies was a can of beans. I am glad my son would take a can of beans over a cookie, he has now eaten about half the can.

Calvin's Baby Blessing

Calvin was a good little baby for his blessing. It worked out well that there was a BYU game here in Mississippi so we had quite a few family members here. Thanks to everyone that came!!
We had three of Michael's siblings with their families.

Movies

For Alden's birthday Michael took him to the movies and let him pick out whatever treat he wanted. He got a big thing of popcorn.

As you can see he was one happy camper!
He loved the movie and was really good the whole time, which isn't too surprising as he loves it when we will let him watch a movie no matter what it is.

Alden's 2nd Birthday

Alden had a great birthday. This year it was on a Sunday, it was nice that Grandma was still in town.

Alden's favorite part of his birthday was blowing out the candles on the cake and having everyone sing to him. He kept saying again, again. We sang to him a number of times.

We sure are grateful for the birth of this cute little 2 year old. He brings a lot of joy into our home, he is always happy, laughing and wanting to run around. He makes us laugh at all of the crazy things he thinks up to do.

We are blessed to have him in our home, we learn from him every day. Thanks Alden we love you.
