Alex is THREE Months!!!!

Alex turned three months old on Saturday, August 25!!! My how time flies! He certainly is a growing boy weighing in at 15 lbs 13 oz (93rd percentile) and measuring 25 inches long (85th percentile). His grandparents all attribute his growth to that good old pure country air in the West Virginia Hills. On his three month birthday we had a photo shoot of Alex wearing the exact outfit that Sean had worn on his three month birthday. The photos below are of Sean on the left and Alex on the right...my doesn't he look like his daddy!!!!!!

We are back in New York now. I started work on Thursday; the students come Tuesday after Labor Day. We are excited for the start of football season and our WVU Mountaineers this weekend!!

Vacation Days

The Wine family has been enjoying the last days of my summer vacation in the West Virginia hills!!! We came home for Alex's baptism on Sunday, August 12 (I'll post pictures as soon as someone sends me some!!) and have been here ever since. Both the Wine's and the Cunningham's have been spoiling their little Alex. He has had a lot of fun playing with his cousin Elizabeth. He has met so many people on this trip home...his "Great-Godfather" Rob Flynt and Grace, Great Aunt Sarah, Class of '86 members Tim Hoover and "neighbor" JL Holsberry, Elizabeth's Nana Carol Amos, Russ and Joy Shepherd, MaMa Bea, and Thelma Lou West. Alex was even privileged enough to have an audience with the Mayor of Sutton, Jim Walker (Sean's former drama teacher!!) He attended the Wine/Singleton family reunion on Saturday, August 18 where he one the prize for the youngest Wine in attendance. He took his Grandma and Papi (no, not "Big Papi" David Ortiz, but my dad....a huge Red Sox fan....so appropriately he is being called Papi instead of Grandpa!!!) out to dinner for their 41st anniversary on August 20. We will probably head back to the Big Apple sometime at the end of this week.

If you haven't seen it yet, you HAVE to visit my sister's blog to see Alex and Elizabeth dancing (JibJab). It is truly hilarious!!!! Check it out at http://wvu-mama.blogspot.com/

Our Growing Boy!!!

We took Alex to the doctor this week. He survived his first round of shots and only cried a little. My how he is growing!!!! He is up to 13 pounds 8 ounces and is now 24 inches long!!!!
