The big 1-2!!

Approximately 12 years, 7 hours, and 9 minutes ago, a big, fat blond headed baby was forced from his mommy's tummy out into this big world.

The name he was given was Alexander Scott. He weighed a whopping 9 pounds and 5 ounces and felt heavy when held!! Have you ever thought -- wow, this baby is heavy, right after he is born?? Well, Alex was! But he was so cute too!! He had little blond hair that the nurses combed over to the side and big round cheeks. He was born with a little ridge across the top of his nose - a deep thinker, even as a baby!

That big baby has grown into a skinny 12 year old that loves playing basketball and video games. He loves giving his brothers trouble any time he can but can also be the most helpful kid around. He asks lots of questions and thinks about things, sometimes for days before bringing it up again. He is smart enough to make straight A's but school is getting kind of old to him and he's ok with mostly A's and some B's!! His closest friends are Reagan and Braxton but has lots of other school and church friends. If you were to ask him what he wanted to be when he grows up, he is confident that he will be an NBA player and will most likely be drafted straight out of high school!! His favorite place to eat (or lunch to be brought to school) is Chicken Express tenders, okra, and sweet tea! You can never go wrong with that!!

Alex, you're a great kid and we are very proud of the young man you are growing into. You add so much to our family and you handle the responsibility of being the biggest brother well!! Let's enjoy the last year before the dreaded teenage years hit!! Love you, man!!
