In all honesty, I have been meaning to start this blog since before Alex was born. Obviously, time has gotten the best of me! Since we are far from family and friends, I wanted an easy way to keep everybody up to date on the happenings in our little family. Better late than never =]
I’ll start with April 2012.
Wow! What a month for us! On April 4 we welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby boy. John Alexander Reineke III was born via C-section at 11:43 am. He was 5 lb, 13 oz and 19 ½ inches long. We are so in love with everything about him! He is such a handsome little man and he looks just like his daddy! He has been such a blessing to us =] |
| Showing us some personality! |

Not too long after the birth of Alex did we buy our first home. We are so excited to have our own space to spread out and a great big backyard for Alex to play in someday!
May 2012
May flew by in a blur of sleepless nights and getting used to the wonderful life of having a baby. We have so enjoyed watching Alex grow so far. Everyday he does something new!

| He got to meet his great grandma and grandpa D’Pulos! |

| 1 month already! |
 |
| Alex started smiling socially and cooing in May! He’s growing so fast =] |
 |
| We took our first vacation to Grand Haven, MI. Alex was a champ! |
Now here we are already in June! This month we are so looking forward to the arrival of Alex’s cousin, Oliver. He should be making his appearance in about 2 weeks or so! We are beyond excited for John’s sister, Shalyn and her husband, Uri to have their little boy =]
Alex is going to become a cousin twice this year! My sister Sarah and her husband Jose are preparing for the arrival of their little one this December! I am so grateful all of our children will be so close in age, what fun for them as they grow up together!
The next posts won’t be nearly as long! Thanks for bearing with me =]
Love,
The Reineke Family
