Beautiful day for an outing

As planned, we had quite an eventful day, as we all headed out into the beautiful Spring afternoon, with our first stop being a visit with the lawyer, to sign various paperwork regarding our wills and the such. Xander was quite the gentleman, and was very quiet for the most part, but time was creeping away, as our next appointment was coming up fast. We parked in the parking lot at Borders, and while Mommy went to get her hair cut, Daddy was left to feed and burp Xander, change his diaper, get everything together and set out with diaper bag and stroller into the clear, balmy afternoon. We wandered around the diag, and Xander got to see U of M campus for his first time. Daddy explained the legend of the "M," while giving a full tour to the prospective matriculate, and Xander paid close attention to the back of his eyelids during the entire visit. What was supposedly a "30 or maybe 45 minute" haircut turned quickly into a 90 minute haircut, and Daddy's feet and shins started to ache, from pushing Xander back and forth across campus. Finally, a very hip and cool Mommy emerged from the salon, and we made our way back home. Xander is becoming more and more worldly with each passing week, and he is quite the adventurer. At this rate, he'll be planning his trips to visit Mars when he's Daddy's age.

Xander continues to impress us with his dexterity and agility, as he flips himself over onto his back from his tummy from time to time, and wiggles around for quite some time before tiring himself out. It makes diaper changing and bath time a bit more challenging, but it is fun to watch him figure out how to move about.

Tomorrow will be a busy day with lots of visits, so Xander needs his rest tonight so he can be nice and fresh (Daddy needs his rest, too...as does Mommy). I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures tomorrow to make up for the lack today.
