First Words

Alex in Inkom with Paige's cows.


Alex, Paige, and Kari with the chickens in Inkom.


Jacob with the pigs in Inkom.

Alex finally got his chance to be around some animals while we were in Inkom. He loved venturing out to see the cows and chickens with Mammi. He enjoyed checking on the hummingbirds with Grandma and Aunt Anna. He also loved when Jacob would take him out to the pigs.

We thought he said "birdie" for his first word while in Inkom. However, it only lasted a day or two and now that we are back home we have not been able to get him to say it. But now everytime he sees an animal he says "da", which is what he said when he saw our dog, Queen, in Inkom. I guess every animal is now a dog to him. We are glad that although he is growing up a city boy he still loves animals!
