Alexander's Birthday Party

Well, it's official. Alexander is now 1!

His 1 year check up and birthday party all went well. Alexander weighed 16 pounds, 11 ounces and is 27 inches long at his appointment. He did great at his birthday party too! No tantrums, no crying while be sung too; just smiles and took it all in! His Dr. Seuss birthday theme was a hit ! From the photo booth to the bulletin board of monthly pictures and food placement cards! Alexander got lots of fun toys that made our house look like Christmas all over again!  Here's a little preview of the party:

Alexander's talented cousin designed the invitations! :)

Next week he has an orthopedic appointment, a cardiology appointment, and appointment with his Electrophysiologist (pacemaker doctor). We once again pray that all looks good with his heart from the echo cardiogram, the chest x-ray shows no fluid, that his pacemaker is working  wonderfully, and that no surgery will be needed on his foot. For those of you who don't know or forgot (as this has been one of the least important issues), Alexander was born with what we call a "funny foot". His left foot doesn't have the arch on the side of his foot, therefore resembling his right foot. 6 months ago his orthopedic said that there was nothing to be done now and hopefully applying weight to his foot would help fix it. We are hoping that this is the case or worst case scenario: him having to wear a special shoe. The last thing I want to deal with is another surgery. I will try to update the blog after his appointments and with news that he's crawling (he is so CLOSE!). 

We appreciate positive thoughts and prayers for next week and thank you again for following us along on our Superman's journey.
