Just Alex

Since we had a really full day on Alex's actual birthday (check out the posts entitled "Field Trip: Pt 1, and Pt 2) we had to wait to take him out on his own for a birthday dinner.  One week ago (10 days after the fact) we finally had the opportunity to take him.  He chose to head to Texas Roadhouse.  He was even a good sport and sat on the saddle while they sang their "Happy Birthday" song. ;)  (I realized after the fact that I should have taken a picture of that!  duh...)

Free birthday dessert. :)

 A few days later he looked like this...

 I'm just thankful that he's still my "little boy" -- enough so that, rather than duck and run when I pull out the camera after he's pulled a stunt like this one, he'll pose for me.  LOL
