The Little Ring Bearer
In late February, Alex was the ring bearer at the wedding of his Uncle Andy and Aunt Erika. A good portion of the "Kansas clan" travelled in for the festivities, so Alex was able to meet lots of relatives he had never seen before.
 Alex thought the crook of his Great-Uncle Delvin's arm was the perfect spot for a nap. |  Reading a book with Cousin Yvonne and Cousin Cody. |
 "So, tell me again, what do I do with this funny-looking pillow?" |  Posing with Uncle Andy. |
 Killing time before the ceremony with Uncle Joe. |  A kiss for Aunt Erika. |
 Practicing holding the pillow and walking. |  Alex does his job for real, but is startled momentarily when the professional photographer stepped in front of him to snap his picture. He eventually recovered and continued down the aisle. |
 At the reception with Grandma and Grandpa Nuckolls. Can you tell he didn't get his nap that day? |  Alex is hauled around by Aunt Becky as he visits with the reception-goers. |

Christmas
Alex spent the month of December, including Christmas, with Grandma and Grandpa Nuckolls, who hadn't seen him for two years.
 Flying with Grandpa Nuckolls. |  Cuddling with Grandma Nuckolls and Sammy the Beagle. |
 Horsing around with Uncle Joe. |  Playing ball with Cousin Lexi. |
 One of those rare moments when Alex stops moving briefly. |  Opening presents. |
 He really liked his new blow-up boat. |  Great Aunt Rhonda shows Alex how to work his new electronic story reader. |
 But even with all those toys, sometimes there's nothing better than a good old cardboard box. |  The infamous forcible haircut incident. He was very frightened of the buzzing sound the clippers made. |
 Fresh from a bath. |  Family portrait, with Alex picking his nose, of course. |

Croquet
The day before we left Germany, Alex had a bunch of fun playing with Grandma Nelms' croquet set.
Playing a round with Matt. |  "I got it, I got it!" |

Thanksgiving
We've not been updating very much because of the move to Colorado, but now that things have calmed down a bit, we have a backlog of pictures to share. Here's some from Thanksgiving, which we celebrated in Germany with Grandma and Grandpa Nelms shortly before we moved.
Alex poses in the living room. |  Examining the Christmas tree. Oooo, shiny things! |
 Opening an early Christmas present. |  Can you tell he's really happy about his new magnetic fishing pole? |
 Grandpa Nelms shows Alex how to work his new light-up snowman. |
