(part 2) the mischief of Xander

Ahh.. yes.. sorry for the toe shot but I couldn't resist the look on his face when he was trying to eat my toe. Yikes! That could have really been brutal. Xander's two bottom teeth are like gator razors. Really. Never let him try to teeth on your finger. And like I said before he wants to eat everything, well, not literally but chewing is the way to go for him. I asked him this morning if he was mommy's baby boy or mommy's puppy? Sometimes he crawls around with something hanging out of his mouth. I should get a shot of that. Then the final picture he is playing his toy congas that Jason and Stacey bought him. He loves to drum. I have a video I would love to upload of our "little drummer boy" but I took the video vertical on our camera and so it loads up and you watch it sideways. I haven't figured out how to shift it so you can see it without turning your head sideways. Anyone know how to do that?
Anyway... know that we miss most of you and the rest of you well you are probably tired of us by now.

What is Xander up to now? (part 1)

Well Xander had his first day at the pool on Memorial Day. The water was entirely too cold for him and he would dip his toes in and then draw them up even faster. He wasn't quite sure what to think about it but overall I think he had fun.
Xander is into everything. He is so curious. He still does his combat crawl but he can bust a move.
In the following pictures he is trying to get Daddy's guitar case and eat it as he tries to do to everything.
Then of course the next picture he got busted trying to scoot under his pack and play, which he found to be very funny. Then his toy bin he thought was more fun to play with than all of the toys that were tucked away inside. Xander is a real treat. He is lively, opinionated, silly and just makes us belly laugh daily.
We love each and every one of you.
Celebrating HIM!

Good times are to be had with DAD!

Well folks, when Daddy and I play we play hard. We throw balls, crawl, giggle, fly and do "baby boot camp", yup.. baby boot camp. That is what Daddy calls it, he takes my feet and says we are doing jumping jacks, running in place, then holds me up in the air and we run through tires and then places me face down on his lap and we do the combat crawl. Whew! I get tired. I really like running through tires and the combat crawl though. I would rather do boot camp than go to sleep any day. Sleep is for the birds.
What are birds anyway? Do they sleep? Mommy holds me in front of the window and always says, "Do you see the birds? And, I am thinking to myself, "How should I know, what are birds anyway? I just like banging on the glass."

Well, I am getting really tired again. I think it is time for my siesta!
