Happy Birthday!

Xander turned 6 months on Saturday, and we celebrated a bit by having him visit his friend Keegan and hanging out with auntie Meg and uncle Jarod. We got Xander some bath toys, and he now has lots of fun when he takes a bath. He's sitting up very well on his own, but still slouches and topples over when he forgets to keep his balance.

We went in to see the doctor today for Xander's 6 month well child exam, and they just commented on how perfect he is in every way. He now officially weighs 15 lbs 10 oz, and is 26 inches tall. He's getting more and more vocal all the time, and is showing signs of pre-crawling, as he claws his way towards his toys and moves around in a tight little circle on his belly to see what is going on behind him. Unfortunately, lately he has been using his time in his crib as an opportunity for exploration, rather than for sleeping.
