Chad is 10!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CHAD ALEXANDER!

I like to remind Chad that he's the middle of the sandwich...the very best part! My precious chubby baby was born April 18th 2001 early in the morning. He was a plump fellow which was a total switch from my scrawny first born. I loved holding that solid bundle of baby boy!

He was a lovely lad. Very quiet though as he didn't speak until he was three years old. He learned very well to communicate with expressions and that has not changed. You can tell exactly how Chad is feeling without him saying a word! His face is very expressive and his body language follows. There's no guessing with that boy!

Oh the cheeks! Pinch pinch!

He's a true hero and loves to play. He loves to be with people, loves interaction and is very social. He chatters to whoever with listen and isn't very shy at all. He loves a good joke and teases plenty (is still learning when enough is enough!).

He's really creative and I think one day he'll be an engineer of some kind. He loves to build, create and invent.

I think that perhaps he has forgiven Liam for taking his place of 'baby of the family' and does have a gentle way with him.

He's good at something once he puts his mind to it. But trying to get him to do something he doesn't want to is painful for all involved!

Chad enjoys new adventures and he's fun to take travelling!

Chad got this skookum bike for his BIG 1-0 and he's ready to tear up the street with his new wheels! We love him so much and can't wait to see what this year brings.
