Keeping you updated on all he does...
The past few weeks have been very busy and I expect the next few will be also so I thought I would post some pictures of the little guy over the past month…
Alex painting with his buddy Victor!
Wow even over 3 weeks he has changed huh? I will share the great Thanksgiving and preparing for Christmas stories as I have time! Wishing everyone a happy holiday season!
For Halloween weekend this year my mom came up for the weekend. Paul was not feeling well so my mom, her friend Charlene, Alex & I spend the weekend having fun!
Before dinner and trick or treating we carved the pumpkin!
Mom took off the top…
Showed it to Alex…then he got to remove some of the guts and he wanted to eat the seeds.
Here is the Jack-o-lantern finished with guts all around.
Jack-o-lantern lit up!
HERE’S ALEX! Dressed up as a 3 eyed, 4 armed monster!
Quite a difference from last year…
Here is Grammie and I dressed up with Alex before trick or treating.
OK mom I’m ready to trick or treat!
We got Alex in his wagon and went to a few neighbor’s houses
Here he is at the neighbors door saying “teet” That is the only part of trick or treat he got…LOL
Here is Alex checking out the loot he got…even though he had no idea what the candy was and we are not sure we will introduce it to him yet…
Here’s Alex tired after a long fun night!
This morning Alex and Grammie read some books, and played before she left it was fun!
Alex decided he wanted to walk the dogs and got a little tangled…LOL
Then after Grammie left 
Alex wanted to wear his costume again so we put it on him…and we went for a walk…
Then he had a snack and some milk in it…
Then he danced some in it…
He just loved being in his costume! He was soooooo funny!
What a great and exciting weekend for Alex and us!
Tonight the Makowenskyj family is tired after a busy Sunday!
This morning we got up to a very brisk 38° and met Amanda, Noah, and Matt at Shelburne Farm for an event called Terrific Tractors! It was the barn and petting zoo with all the farm machines out on the lawn! It was great! Especially since Alex’s new favorite word it
“TRAC TOOOOOOR”
Here is Alex on a big John Deere!
Here is Alex & Noah with their daddy’s and some cardboard farmer!
Here is Alex on an old Ford tractor!
Here is daddy and Alex on an old Ford tractor!
Look at my baby boy on another big John Deere.
Here are the boys with the dads on the big front loader!
Look how little Alex looks sitting on this big CAT machine!
What a big boy!
Here is Alex and Noah playing on a little boy size picnic table.
After we left Shelburne farm we headed to Lang Farm for Alex’s friend Maddie’s 1st Birthday! It was sooooo fun! First we took a hayride to a pumpkin patch and Alex got to pick out a nice pumpkin!
Here is the Birthday Girl Maddie! 1 year old today!
Alex wanted to drive the tractor back…
Then we drove these peddle go carts and Paul pulled the Radio Flyer with Alex around.
Then it was cake time!
Maddie wasn’t too excited about having frosting all over her hands.
Here Alex is saying Happy Birthday Maddie!
Here is Alex playing on the giant sand pile!
And here before we left Alex found another big Tractor!
It was an awesome day! We had sooooo much fun! Now it is bed time for all of us! PHEW!
Here is my little boy today he turned 15 months old, wow where did the last year and 3 months go?
Look at this picture of him today’s date last year… OMG my little boy he is growing up!
He is obsessed with tractors and Grammie sent him this tractor and he was going crazy all afternoon zooming it around the house saying
“TRA TOOOOOR!” Soooo cute
Then we had to go to his 15 month appt. and there went his good mood! He was not happy with the doctor even touching him… it was not good. Then the vaccine shots came and he screamed and was giving the doctors dirty looks till they left the room…
Here are his stats…
Weight: 21 lbs. 11 oz. 10th %ile
Length/Height: 31 1/2” 75%ile
Head Size: 19.49” 95th%ile (big head to harvest his big brain!)
The doctor was very happy to see Alex walking or should I say running! They were also cracking up because he was showing them how he spins around in circles…lol. The doctor was happy to hear that Alex retrieves items when asked for them and that he is saying some words…Tractor, Car, Mama, Dada, Cat, Dog, Truck, Up, More and others I can’t remember… They concluded we have a smart little boy here! I am so happy he is thriving! Overall a great doctors appt. except for the mean shots! We have an exciting fall foliage weekend ahead with Alex and his friends, will post more stories and pictures soon!
So last night we turned on the radio to a dance music station and we started dancing with Alex! It was so much fun and soooooo funny when he started dancing on his own… check it out!
So it was a fun day today we went to the Mazza’s Harvest fest so Paul could get his cider donuts and Alex got to play on a wooden tractor…
Then we showed him the inside of the corn maze but did not go thru it…
Then we went to The Land of Pumpkins!
We went here last year when Alex was only about 3 months old…
He could hardly sit up against the pumpkins, now look at his climbing throughout the big pumpkins!
Last year most of the pumpkins were bigger than Alex…
Now Alex is bigger than most of the pumpkins!
Here daddy is taking Alex for a ride to pick out the pumpkins he wants!
Then we wanted to recreate a picture from last year… kinda silly but it just shows how different Alex is now…
I can’t believe how quickly Alex grew up in a year! From a little baby, to a little boy! It is still all about Alex though!
So now that I have a toddler it was time to move on to a different playgroup! So today was our last playgroup at the Williston Library where we had been going to playgroup since Alex was about 3 months old. It was crazy and emotional because we took pictures and then I went back and looked at the pictures from when we started… Wow our babies are growing up!
This was the original group of baby’s all over a year old now!
Time flies when your having so much fun!
This weekend we went down to Long Island to visit Paul’s parents and brothers! It was the weekend after Paul’s dad’s 65th Birthday! So we threw a surprise party for him! He was so occupied with Alex he didn’t have any idea about the party it was a wonderful surprise! Here are some pictures!

When we got back from vacation it was labor day weekend and the last weekend of the Champlain Valley Fair! We had to go! So on Sunday we headed over! Alex had soooo much fun!
We started the day out with Maple Creemees! YUM!
Then we went to check out all the animals~!
Then Alex got to sit on a giant tractor!
Then Alex went on his first Pony ride! He loved it!
We met up with Henry who was here at the fair last year too! Look at the difference a year makes…
Last year 2008…
This year 2009!
It was a fun day!
Then Alex was so excited about tractors he wanted to wear his John Deere hat and watch daddy mow the lawn!
My big precious boy!
We went on our first Family vacation with Alex to N. Conway for the week before Labor Day weekend! We had such a great time!
First we went to Clark’s Trading Post. We took a Train Ride and Alex didn’t really like it because of the loud whistle but he was interested in the Wolfman who kept on following the train! Then we went and watched the bear show and Alex liked that.
Then Paul took Alex on his first ride! It was bumper boats with water guns… Alex didn’t like that much either.
Then we went to Story Land after 3 and you get a ticket for the next day so we went and walked around a bit then we went back the whole next day!
Here is Alex & mommy on Little Miss Muffet’s Tuffet!
Alex climbing thru Peter Pumpkin eaters house!
Then Alex went on the Tea Cups with daddy, he liked it a little more than the boats and here he is as the Rabbit!
Then Alex got his very own Story Land license from Humpty Dumpty!
Here is Alex thanking Humpty Dumpty.
Here is Alex in the Three Bears house at Baby Bears chair looking for some porridge!
Then daddy & Alex went on the Swan Boat Ride!
Here is Alex on his fist Carousel Ride!
Here is the Pirate Ship we went on! I think this WANTED poster is for a girl but he was making the best face so I had to post it!
Here is Alex in this big building that was filled with foam balls, it was more fun for mommy & daddy I think!
It was a hot day and they had a grotto with spraying water so we stripped Alex down to his onsie and him and daddy got refreshed!
What a fun but tiring day for Alex here he is taking a nap!
Then one day we went hiking up to the Sabbaday Falls! It was beautiful! Here is our family hiking picture~!
Paul and Alex hiking!
Here are the Waterfalls!
We went shopping in N. Conway and at the Toy Store Alex picked out this Bob the Builder hat! So cute!
Then on Saturday we checked out and we went over to ME where my college friend Maria’s parents have a house near Shawnee Peak.
We went to the beach with the kids and they played in the sand and water, it was fun!
Then we headed back to VT. What an amazing Family Vacation!
