Baby enjoying his new toy from his favorite Nana.

Yes I would like some apple cider, Christie. Please? Pretty please? Look at how cute I am!

Alexander and his two baby guests at his b'day party, having fun with his new piano.

On his birthday, during his “Teddy Bears' Picnic”-themed birthday party.
