Alexis Bellino knows that time moves so fast, especially when it comes to raising her eldest son, James Bellino. The Real Housewives of Orange County alum is the proud mom to three children and is opening up about how overjoyed she is for James after he completed his freshman year of college.

Alexis took to Instagram on April 29, where she revealed that James is officially moving out of his freshman-year dorm room at Vanguard University, located in Costa Mesa. The mom of three took to her Instagram Story, where she posted a photo of her and James at the Southern California university where he currently studies. "Freshman year at college and already moving my kid out...the year moves so fast!!!" she wrote over the photo. "I'm so proud of my son."

She then posted a much younger photo of James, hanging by the water, where she reflected on how much he's grown up. "My boy before college...and still spreading love throughout college," she wrote, along with a red heart, praying hands, and muscle emoji.

Alexis posted the same two photos in a Reel on her Instagram feed on April 30. She then took to the caption of the post, where she revealed how she is living in the moment with her kids.

"Honestly...I don't know where the time went," she wrote. "But every moment I get with my babies is now treasured more than their youth because they get irritated with us! Lol! They grow up too fast."

 

Alexis Bellino documents moving James Bellino into college

It's hard to believe that Alexis and her ex-husband, Jim Bellino, moved James into school eight months ago. Alexis took to Instagram in late August, where she posted a Reel of James checking into his dorm, moving into his room, saying goodbye to the family pets, as well as his two younger siblings, twins Miles and McKenna Bellino.

"Yesterday was such an indescribable feeling," Alexis wrote in the caption of the post at the time. "Proud yet sad. Excited for him, yet in disbelief he's leaving the nest. Energetic, yet want to hold him in my lap and rest like we did 18 yrs ago. Happy, yet a huge lump in my throat all day. And SO SO proud of him. Take your wings and fly baby boy. I love you to the moon and back and you are forever my baby, even 6'5" tall."

"I'm not wearing a wedding dress. I'm not walking down an aisle," she explained. "But, my son James did ask to give me to John, so we're gonna have to figure that out because I don't want to walk down an aisle."
