Greetings :)
Well, it's been another week here at the Van Vooren estate. Alex continues to thrive and his smile and excitement is contagious! It's funny, you often hear the comment: "You see the world different through a child's eyes." That could not be more truthful, especially with Alex. There are so many firsts that he has yet to experience, and each day is equally special being a part of those moments.
So, over the past week, Alex gave blood and had another doctor's appointment. He has steadily gained 3/4 of a pound in the past 2 weeks and the results of his testing have all been positive. The doctor even remarked how happy he is already with his progress. We continue to be blessed. He is also becoming more steady on his feet and has become very vocal- including more words such as "mommy", "daddy", "no", "dog", "Yes", "Whasss thaaaa?", and he has perfected his yoddling skills (for those of you who have been over or who have called and heard him in the background, you know what I mean!!!) He even takes over during mealtime, feeding himself, as you see here.
As the week went on, we tried even more adventures. Here you will see Alex's first experience in his very cool
sandbox. Notice, he is LESS than thrilled in the beginning b
ut then calms a bit. Turns out, he is very skeeved out by sand sticking to his body. He preferred sitting
with his sand sifter in his little chair next
to mommy. We'll try again this week.
Then, today, we received another fun gift from cousins, James, Melissa, Brendan & Derek: a water playtable. A
s you can see he loved it! BIG FAN! He then shared it with his new 
best friend, Chloe. Together, they splashed, drank from it, and explored the yard.......
Well, that's it for now. Our week is a bit hectic with Early Intervention coming tomorrow, a neurologist appointment on Tuesday, high school graduation on Thursday, and then Alex & I visiting school on Friday.
Enjoy the pictures & once again, thanks to all that have called, visited, and have given their support!!!!
We'll keep you updated on whatever adventures bestow us this week~

Hi Guys,
I have wanted to talk to you guys, but Chris is working nights and by the time I have a moment it is later, like now at 8:40. These cousins as well have boguht gifts for Alex, and have enjoyed shopping for a boy for a change. Now that i have seen more pictures of him, makes shopping even more fun. Well, maybe we should send them ahead of time, since it will probably be a couple of weeks until we get the go ahead? Let us know, we are anxiously waiting to meet Alex and when you say the word the girls and I would love to visit. Otherwise, we are enjoying the pics tremndously.
Love

Hello there:
It's been awhile since I've been on to see the progress. Amazing! Sorry for the delay. It has been a zoo at work and home.
He is just the cuttest thing. I really enjoyed seeing him at school.
I hope that he liked his puppy! I'm getting the biggest kick out the pictures. He looks so happy, and loved.
The picutures with the dog are priceless. Dog and boy. This brings back so many memories. It really goes fast. Enjoy your time with him.
I went to the teacher party. I will have to tell you all the scoop when I come to visit.
Please e-mail me when you get a chance. I know that you are busy and your surgery is coming soon.
Let me know if there is anything I can do.
By the way, I just want to let you know how happy I am that you are returning. I have truly missed you.
It really was not the same. Val is a nice girl. She is a good kid.
Remember, I put all of your stuff in the closet. Val and I cleaned up the room and gathered the mass of things. I have to label everything because they are coming in to clean.
Anyway, I love ya and miss you. Please give Alex a kis and a hug.
With much love,
McAteer
