Seth and Pop - these are for you!

Pop - how cute does Alex look in this little shirt you bought him?! He loves it. I put it on him and he kept spinning around in circles trying to see Lightning McQueen on the back. It was so funny!

Seth, here is your video. For anyone else watching...you should know that Alejandro despises the LA Lakers. So Uncle Seth snuck into the house on Game 1 of the NBA finals and dressed Alex all in Lakers gear. The video captures Alejandro's reaction.

Almost Two...

Alex is almost two and already taller than a fire hydrant. He is madly obsessed with Buzz Lightyear and Woody, hence the matching Toy Story Tshirt and Crocs (yes, I bought my child a pair of Crocs - embarassing, I know).

Here he is in his little bike helmet helping Papa pump up the bike tires. He was SO excited to go biking, that is until we actually got to the beach and got on the bikes. Five minutes into the ride he was over it. The only thing that kept him happy was that Disney has littered the beaches with Buzz and Woody trash cans. Random, right? So w'ere riding along and Alex was busy counting the Buzz trash cans.

My boys sharing a chocolate croissant. Yum.

Alex's other new fascination right now is with trains. We went to the train park for little Simon Cohen's birthday and ever since Alex has been all about choo-choos.

We even got to ride the little train. Alex could barely contain himself, he was so excited.

Here he is with the birthday boy. Don't they look cute together? You would never guess that they were totaly ignoring each other and just happened to be sitting together looking angelic.

And playing trains together...

Happy birthday, little Simon! Thanks for introducing us to trains!

We had a playdate recently with little Owen at his new house. He has a YARD! A yard, people! I didn't realize how deprived condo living in LA has made us until we spent an afternoon in Owen's yard. Ahhhh....

The boys took turns mowing the lawn in between drags of their sippy cups.

Bubbles!

"You can't catch me!"

Life is good. Happy summer, friends and family! We are eagerly awaiting Mama Martha's visit. She comes in next week and will be with us for three weeks! On July 30th we celebrate two whole years of Alex. It's been an amazing (and super quick) two years. We had our annual Father's Day photo shoot last month and should be getting the photos soon. Check back in another couple of weeks. Love to all!
