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.

    Oh my gosh, Alex looks so old! I was a "palpatating panther" in 4th and 5th grade. (We were the Palm Crest Panthers and it was a jump roping club. I loved it. I can still jumprope better than anyone I know. Just don't let him continute on his dream of jumping rope into high school. Those guys were weirdos...

    Alex is so cute! He is a perfect mix of his parents. You can tell him that Tanner has not lost a tooth either.

    Yea they grow up way too quickly. Kelsey turns 7 this summer. Doesn't that mean we're getting older too?
