Welcome baby Oliver!!! He decided to make his arrival the day after Shalyn’s baby shower =] He was born on June 11 at 10:13 pm. We are so beyond excited to be an Aunt, Uncle and cousin!!! Can’t wait to meet the little guy in August! Here we are meeting him over Skype! Well, I don’t know how it happened, but John has somehow talked me into running not one, but TWO half marathons in October! I guess I can’t really complain about that because he is also running two half marathons AND a full marathon. I think he’s a little crazy, but he seems excited, so we’ll go with…

Weekend trip!
Alex had his 2 month checkup and shots on Thursday. He is still growing like a weed at 10 lb 5 oz and 22 1/4 inches! He is in the 25th percentile across the board and the pediatrician was very impressed! He did so well with his shots, too! He did exercise his lungs for about 5 minutes, but then fell asleep for 3 hours. It was a rough day, but we made it through! Now it is as if it never happened =] Mommy and daddy are getting more sleep now! He goes to bed around 9:00 every night and sleeps until about 3:00 or 4:00 then goes back…

2 months old!
Alex is two months old today! I can’t even believe it. Time is flying by! It is so much fun watching him grow and seeing him reach his milestones! He smiles all the time and his coos are becoming more and more frequent. He loves when mommy and daddy sing to him and make silly faces =] Here are some extra pictures =] I have so many, it feels selfish not to share them. Also, it turns out you CAN fill up an iPhone…who knew? So I will unload some pictures onto you =] Some bloopers from our milestone photo shoot =] Good morning! I was feeling crafty this morning!…

A little add on!
Alex received a Blue Spruce from grandma and grandpa Reineke! They planted a Blue Spruce for John when he was young, and now we will carry on the tradition. Every year we will take a picture of Alex with his tree and watch them both grow! Alex’s new tree =] And now, just a few pictures of Alex from today for fun =] Not the camera again, mom Ok, ok, I’ll smile! Tired boy =]

Beautiful weekend!
Alex slept a full 7 1/2 hours last night! I couldn’t believe it when I woke up at 4:30 and he was still sleeping! I quickly went back to sleep without making a peep so I didn’t wake him. He woke up at 6:00 and was such a happy little boy =] He’s growing up so fast! Of course, I’m sure after bragging about this, he will be up every 2 hours tonight! Oh well, I’ll take what I can get! Still so sleepy after a whole nights sleep! It was a beautiful weekend here in Oxford! John’s parent’s came for a visit and we were able to get some much…

Welcome!
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…
