Alex - aka The Boy, Mr. A, Al, AllyAllyAxer, Mr. McDooderpants, Mr. Pants, Dooder, Monkeyboy, Sir, Sir Thunderbuns, Just a Little Guy, etc - the love of my life, my sweet beautiful baby boy.
Dave - aka The Husband - the other love of my life and best-friend for over 10 years. He works hard, is best Dad Alex could ask for, loves that boy something fierce and Alex loves him right back.
Grandma - aka His Grandma, The Boy's Grandma, Grandma Grandma - my mom. Patron saint of love and comfort and spoiling of babies. Alex calls her his "regular Grandma". She is also one of my closest friends.
Grandpa - my Dad (Alex's only Grandpa). Bestest Dad ever. King of BeeBop for Babies. Loves "his baby" something awful. Currently working on start-up, from home, so he gets to enjoy Mr. A every day too.
Carol - Dave's mom, Grandma Carol - The boy's other grandma. The patron saint of putting up with us and also of spoiling babies! We lived with Carol for almost two years and she was such a Saint for not kicking us out. Carol works full-time and has been a huge help to us. I couldn't ask for a better Mother-in-law.
Audrey - aka Sissy, Aunt Audrey, journals here as audpicc. My (much younger) sister who is currently studying flute at University of Hartford in Connecticut. Although she is FAR, FAR away from home, we love it when she returns on breaks to hang out. CREDIT: this journal is named after her word for the various bottles of breast milk that ended up in our mother's fridge.
Dan - aka Uncle Dan. My older brother who is currently living in Shanghai with his Chinese wife Elita. He is the "crazy uncle" and Alex eats him up whole.
Tom - aka Uncle Tom. My younger brother who lives with our parents and is the resident geek of the family. In a good way. He's also single, LADIES.
John - aka Uncle Johnny. Dave's brother who lives in the East Bay. They are very close and he is such a sweetheart. We talk to Johnny almost every night and hang out with them as often as possible - at least a couple times a month. John is new to the whole baby thing, but Alex is making it fun for him. Every night Johnny calls to hear the "little guy" in the background on the phone.
Lynn - John's other half. Lynne is a mom of two and has an incredible knack for buying toys. Anything from Lynn is automatically Alex's favorite (until she buys him something new). Alex also LOVES to hear Lynn's voice - it captivates him.
