Happy Hallo...well, close enough.

Our precious edamame:

Food and Fun

Xander has been enjoying a range of new foods, and exploring his rapidly expanding world since his 7 month birthday. Mommy and Daddy bought Xander some balls, and he's learning to play catch. Xander's starting to pull himself up on people and furniture, and has gotten to his feet on his own accord today. Mommy and Daddy are not ready for Xander to start walking any time soon, but Xander may have other plans. He's spending more time sitting, and is getting very fast on his hands/knees/stomach. He's starting to hold his sippy cup and drink his water on his own, and he can feed himself his puffs by grabbing them between his thumb and index finger and bringing them to his mouth. His appetite is growing, and he can polish off 6 ounces of formula no problem, and often goes through 2 or more jars of food at a sitting. Xander is an extremely curious little guy, and explores everything very carefully. Xander is also becoming a sports fan, as he switched to the 49-ers vs Saints game this evening after he grabbed the remote from Daddy.

Yum!

Yum?

Xander, falling off the ol' wagon...

Our little darling in action (10/18):

Time, Time, Time

Daddy didn't get home in time to see Xander before he went to bed. This isn't the first time. Unfortunately, it won't be the last time. :(

Xander is growing up too fast. He's really scooting all over the place, and his favorite thing to do is creep up behind you quickly and stealthily, like the Ninja! and scare the poop out of you. Mommy gets this treatment quite frequently, when she thinks that Xander is safely on the other side of the room, and then suddenly, HEADBUTT!

Beautiful! Any time of year.

Xander likes to read:

Xander still thinks he's an otter from time to time:

Getting sleepy? Hold onto that bottle!

Strike a pose!

Xander needs more toys...

Xander is not an unhappy child.
