Alex....

Alex was born at Bath RUH at 16.47 on Monday 15th November 2004, weighing 7lb 2oz.

It was a speedy delivery taking about 90 mins from getting to hospital to giving birth. Caroline only pushed for 15 minutes at the end. This boy couldn't wait to be born!

Alex's first Christmas was a white one at Penrhiw-llan in Camarthenshire with family. In fact we were caught briefly in a blizzard and had to head for cover!

Here he is on Christmas day ( below left ) and posing for his passport photo in January 2005 ( below right ). Ooooohhhhh that baby!!!!

He took his first flight aged three months when we visited La Alpujarra in Spain in February 2005. Here he is posing for the camera !

He also spent a very enjoyable weekend at Treferfyn on the Pembrokeshire coast in March with his grandparents:

And here are some snaps of him at the beach. Firstly on 2nd & 3rd July, 2005 at Tenby where he ( well I did actully ) participated in the Pembroke Volleyball Club Open Beach Competition! The other snap is dinner at the Lynmaure hotel!

The next snaps are at the National trust beach at Penbryn, West Wales on Sat 16th July, 2005. This was a weekend away spent with his cousins and Auntie.

It's an utterly beautiful location and Alex enjoyed the water! He's growing!

And here he is with Daddy and a baguette! He so Lully-nice!!!!!!!
