Alex's sleep habits...

Cuddly and Comfy...

Comfy...I guess...

Bear-y comfy!

Are you kidding?

Cuddly and comfy!

Like father like son...

Looks like mom will be out-numbered soon. Alex already likes football...

Riding around in my baby-mobile!

This growing boy is almost big enough for his walker!

"Just if my feet would touch the floor!"

Watch out Sophee!

It won't be much longer until Alex has to unfortunately attend daycare...until then (1/2/08) he has had his fair share of TLC from his grandmas, grandpas, and aunties!

Gma D or as she referred to herself, the Granny Nanny...watched Alex the week after daddy.

Then Grandpa A...

...and Aunt Aimee split the next week.

Next up is Grandma A who will stay the rest of the week after Christmas.

Then Alex is off to Daycare...he won't be too far from mom...thank goodness!

Snow bunnies!

After their visit with mom, the boys headed out to Gull Lake to meet the newest members of the Martin Clan. Daddy's first cousins Sarah "Martin" Kennedy and Bridget "Martin" Hein recently had sweet babies boys...

Big Brother Charlie Kennedy

What fun it will be watching the boys grow together!

First Charlie took Alex for a sleigh ride.

Then Daddy took Alex for his first sled ride downhill!

GERONIMO!

"Daddy...can we go again?"

Me and my Daddy!

As mentioned earlier, mom was back to work on Dec. 3 (boowho)! During her first week back, daddy stayed home to watch the little guy. What fun the boys had!

Luckily Alex is still guzzling down his goods from bottles when mom isn't around. He graduated to the next size of bottle top just after he turned 3 months old.

Daddy gets Alex ready to visit mom at work.

Mom's boys visited her each afternoon...

...Her favorite part of the day!

SuRpRiSe...

Good news for Jenny and Rick Rupp...they just found out they are excepting a GIRL! The lucky little lady is due in May!

Rockin' around...

...the Dampeer Christmas Tree...

...while Alex watches the pretty christmas lights!!

Big K-ristmas Tree!

The Dampeer Family of four loaded themselves up in their SUV and headed off to pick out Alex's first Christmas Tree. Boy was it a chilly day but nonetheless they were on a mission to find the perfect tree.

Why go to the farm when the farm comes to BIG K!!!

All bundled up and in the spirit with his very own Christmas tree hat...by the one and only Gma Dampeer.

Daddy and Sophee search and search the parking lot for the right tree...

...and Alex found it!

Finally, mom and dad are ready to trim the tree!
