Xander's going to be ONE!!!



Here we are heading into Xander's first birthday, which is coming up on August 31st. It is so hard to believe. He has grown in so many ways and kept us belly laughing all of the way. We have enjoyed those of you who have journeyed with us and we are so thankful for your understanding and support along the way when we have been so caught up in learning our roles as parents.
Xander is scaling walls now and cruising so I imagine we are in for a world of new adventures with him. He has kept us on our toes so far and I have no doubt that we will be chasing him all over the place very soon. He is trying so hard to talk. He can say, Da-da, mom-mom(but not lately), goo (good), ba (bath), bi (bite) and got-got. Ahhh.. such sweetness wrapped into a rough and tumble little boy. He loves to climb the staircase of course with mommy or daddy in tow and just recently created a new method of coming back down, head first. Geez... how about feet first? We keep trying to work on that but how can you see where you are going if you aren't head first, right?

We promise to be better at updating and will definitely post birthday pictures as soon as we can. After all the party is really for us isn't it? It is more like a "survival party" for mom and dad. Hey that gives me an idea. No.. better not.
