Happy Easter everyone!!





Well we just wanted to wish everyone a very lovely Easter celebration with their glorious King.
Here are just a few pictures of Xander I had to include. The first one was a case of serious bed-head. I had to get a profile of that one for kicks. Poor child. It turned out well considering how he is just chillin' in the recliner and doesn't seem to mind.
Then of course the others I just couldn't resist posting. The 3rd picture looks posed but Xander was playing on our bed. He loves to feel the comforter against his bare legs. He is hilarious. Then I just couldn't leave out a picture of his first two bottom teeth gleaming in that delightful grin. He is a real jewel.
Jason and I have so much fun with him.
We love you all.
Blessings,
Mitzi

Having fun!



Okay, I just love my little jumper thingamajig but how does this thing work? Really? I hang onto a blue rope and it doesn't let me fall no matter how wild I get with my jumping. Huh? I am getting so good at jumping that I can chew on my fist and only hold on with one hand. Excuse the drool on my chin please. I am really working hard on getting some more teeth in so I can eat what Mommy and Daddy are eating. Their food certainly looks better than my weird green stuff. Hey mom, what was that strange yellow stuff you tried to get me to eat yesterday? On the other hand Daddy doesn't give me the chance to see what he is sneaking in my mouth. Then he makes funny faces while I am eating and I forget that it must have been something weird too.
Anyway, I love getting wild and crazy in my jumper especially when Daddy plays music for me. That really makes me want to move. Mommy says I look like the lord of the dance. Who is that?
I have to go now, Mommy said it is naptime.
love, sugar bear.

Our little rock star!


Need we say more? Xander seems to really enjoy music. He especially loves it when he is in his doorway jumper and Jason is playing the mandolin and singing to him. He looks like "Lord of the dance." He makes us laugh so much.

Growing up!



Wow! It is so hard to believe that our little guy will be 6 months old in a week. He already has his first two bottom teeth. Of course right now they are too small to get in a picture. Xander is hard at work teething on his teething bunny trying to get them through. We rarely get photos of all three of us at the same time. Xander's god-mommy spontaneously took this one for us. Thanks Cindy! We are doing great so far. Xander is rolling over. He is trying to sit up but still cannot sit alone. He has such an amazing sense of humor. He is certainly going to be the comic in the family. I fear the practical jokes that he is going to pull on me, worms and frogs anyone?

Could this be love?



What a treasure this sweet little boy is to us. We are soooo blessed to have such a little snuggle baby. He truly loves to explore faces now. He is especially fascinated by teeth and eyes. However, lately he is starting to get a little more rough in the way he plays. It is so funny to watch him. You can really see the boy in him appearing.
He is so amazed with his daddy too. It is so much fun to watch them interact. Xander just watches Jason like an awestruck little fan. Which I am sure he is his daddy's biggest fan.
He is chock-full of personality and very independent. He also doesn't hesitate to offer up his opinions whether you want them or not. It is very cute now but in about 5 more months it will be quite the challenge.

Busted!



Well with good and obvious reason we have retired the little bouncey. Xander was making a ton of new and funny sounds and when I walked in to check on him this is what I found. My little escape artist maneuvering his departure. I am not sure what he planned on doing once he hit the floor. This is yet only a small dose of what I am sure we are in for once the crawling and walking begins. Then of course the next picture I couldn't resist because he has such a look of mischief on his face. "uh-oh"
