Choo Choo Alex turned 2!!

Okay, so I totally suck at this blogging thing. It's really not my thing but I am not a quitter so I will keep at in hopes of getting better. Big news in the Mottern household....Alex turned 2 yrs old on October 21, 2010 and we are expecting baby #2 in June 2011. Alex is really happy that mommy has a "baby in her belly." He loves to lift up my shirt and lay his head on my belly. He then will kiss my stomach before saying "bye bye baby." It truly is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Alex absolutely melts my heart day after day with his sweetness.

I know this blog is mainly about our little man but I just can't resist boasting about him. I just totally think he is the coolest little kid ever. He amazes us each day by all of the new words that he is saying and his funny mannerisms. He's so smart and so talented. He really enjoys reading and dancing. His dance moves are adorable. I will have to get him dancing on video and post it on this blog for all to see. It's quite hysterical and you can't help to laugh.

We are all getting ready for the holiday festivities to approach. We are spending Thanksgiving Day with Dave's parents in Baltimore this year. The next day, Dave, Alex, and myself will head to NJ to drop Alex off with my parents for the weekend. My parents booked Dave and I a hotel room for the weekend in Times Square as a early Hanukkah/Christmas present. Can we say best gift ever??? Love it. I am so looking forward to hitting Sephora, Times Sq, possibly a show or comedy club, Dylan's Candy Bar, the Village, and anywhere else we can squeeze in while we're there. Of course, no NYC trip is complete without a visit to Rockefeller Ctr and Central Park. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful parents who enjoy making us happy.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully, I will get back on here before the New Year but I wouldn't hold your breath. Love to all xoxo

So, after thinking about starting our own family blog for some time now, I decided to give it a shot, AGAIN! I am hoping that our blog will help to keep our friends and family up to date with all of the great things happening in our lives. As many of you know, David and I have been together for 10 years after meeting in college. Actually, we met on Spring Break in Cancun our sophomore year of college. Ten years later and we are still going strong! We have been married since 2005 and are currently living in York, Pa. Dave is working as a Program Manager at GDRS in Westminster, MD where he has been working for about 5 years. I have my Master's Degree in Social Work and am currently working part time with for NHS here in York. I am working with children with behavioral and developmental disorders as a Mobile Therapist/ Behavioral Specialist Consult. Alex has been attending day care on the 2 days that I see clients and has been doing exceptionally well. I am really starting to struggle with the fact that my baby boy is going to be 2 years old in less than 2 months. I can't get over how quickly time has flown by since giving birth to him. He's the most precious little guy and Dave and I can't get enough of him. He has so much personality and is constantly making us laugh. His facial expressions are absolutely hilarious. He is talking up a storm and is obssessed with Thomas the Train and Cars. He wakes up every morning asking to watch "Choo Choo." It's so cute!
Dave and I couldn't be happier with our life right now. We have made some really wonderful friends and have so much fun getting together weekly for bbq's and adult time(even if the kids are playing in the other room!) That's all for now. I am really going to try my hardest to keep this blog going even though I have attempted it numerous times and it never sticks! I guess time will tell. Love to you all xoxo
