Ok, so I have to admit that I am really bad about updating my blog. Well, Al will be 6 months old on Monday March 7th. Al has been rolling over from his back to his belly and is beginning to prop himself up on all fours. Al is an all around happy baby.
Al has decided to become a little destructive, already! The other day he was in his jumper and had a butterfly teether in his hand. He was having a blast swinging that teether back and forth hitting things. He would swing it back and forth and then he would just start busting out laughing. Then he would do it again! It was hilarious. We tried to get a video but his back was to us and when we walked around to the side he was facing he stopped.
My spring break from work is March 13th-20th and we are headed to the beach for a week. Our friends Scott and Alex, and their 4 month old son, Dylan, are joinging us for part of the week. We are renting a house at Carillon beach, just outside Panama City and Bill's cousin is getting married on the 21st. This will be Al's second trip to the beach and Dylan's first road trip so we are really excited.
Other than that there is not much going on around here!
As usual we spent Halloween in Birmingham and as usual there were a lot of trick-or-treaters! Al was dressed as a Monkey and let me just say, that was the cutest monkey ever! He did not last long in his costume because he is the most hot natured baby ever!
Thanksgiving was really big this year too! My family all went to Destin for the week. My dad’s brother has a beach house there and my parents rented a two story house next door to my Uncle’s. At our house there were twelve people and four next door. Since my Uncle and his family are all Alabama fans we had a house divided for the Iron Bowl! War Eagle!!! We took some time to walk over to the beach and took some awesome family photos.
Al’s first Christmas was spent in Birmingham with Bill’s family. I think between the Christmas’ with my family and Bill’s we had a total of six Christmas’ in one week. It was wonderful but exhausting. Al got lots of fun things for Christmas! He had just started sitting up so he loved his big activity center from Kaky and Papa T (Bill’s parents) and his walker from Nana and Doc (my parents)! 
The New Year was great. My mom was so nice and babysat Al so Bill and I could enjoy ringing in the New Year with Jenn and Eron. Michael Meall was in town and we got to spend some good quality time with him before he drove back to Maryland! Happy 2011. 
On the last big note Al turned four months old this Friday! We are supposed to be going to the Doctor for our check up on Tuesday, weather permitting since our road is probably going to be covered in Ice for the next three days!
