7

So Alex turned 7 last week. It's amazing that I've been a mom long enough to have a 7 year old.  We of course got pictures and thought I'd share them with the world.

Looking at last year's picture I see now that he's older but I guess I didn't notice it until now.  That and when he told me that he wasn't a baby anymore. 

He loves 1st grade and has recently joined the "Jump Club" which is exactly as it sounds.  They meet twice a week and jump rope.  "Coach" Aldridge teaches them tricks for an assembly at the end of the year and Alex is one mean double-dutcher.  Right now his life's ambition is to lose a tooth as he seems to be the only 1st grader who hasn't yet.
