Walk This Way

Xander ... 11 Months Old

We have only one month to go before Xander turns the big O-N-E. At 11 months, he weighs in at 22 pounds, 4 ounces; such a big boy. I wonder how big he will be in a month?

A Fun Day at the Park

Now that Spring has finally sprung, we took Xander for an afternoon outside at the park. This park had so many new toys to play with, Xander was in heaven. He even screamed when we took him off the swings. Best of all, after a tiring afternoon outside, he went down for his nap with no problems.

Almost There

Xander will be walking on his own sooner rather than later.

Why, Xander, Why?

Oh Xander, you break my heart.

Xander Meets the Easter Bunny

This afternoon, we took Xander to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time. We were so proud. No anxiety, no fussing, and no crying. Just one happy boy who was all smiles and curiosity. We decided to go to Woodfield, because the bunny at our mall is a little creepy. We liked the bunny at Woodfield, but was told upon arrival we weren't allowed to use our own cameras at all, whether we were buying their picture or not. I was a little miffed that I wasn't able to get a video of Xander's first Easter Bunny visit, but the cutest picture ever makes up for it.

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY
and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPA

King of the Swings

Xander took his first trip to the park today. The swings were the only thing we could play on due to an uncontrollable dog, but he had a blast anyways.

Xander Has a Play Date

Today, Xander had a little play date with the Manker clan, or as they call themselves, the Red Headed Mafia. Xander gets so few opportunities to socialize with other kids, so we weren't quite sure what to expect, especially since now that he is mobile and wants to grab everything, but he was quite good with the kids, and they were very good with him. Overall, I think Xander really enjoyed having the other kids to climb on and pull hair and share toys. It was fun for the rest of us to watch as well. There are more pictures available if you follow the link on the right.

Walk Like a Man...

Xander can't crawl yet, but he sure likes to walk around tables and ottomans! Perhaps he will skip crawling all together?

Xander Laughs Uncontrollably at Wrigley

Xander loves Wrigley, and finds it hysterical when she barks and runs around. (Pay no attention to that man behind the baby! Someone had to keep the dog going.)

Farmhouse Fun

Xander had playtime this morning with his new farm house. He got a kick out of the gate. Thanks Gramma and Grampa Lewis!

The Secrets and Answers of Lost Revealed?

Maybe only to babies. Every time I watch an episode of Lost, as soon as the opening logo and eerie music come on, Xander stops what he is doing to turn and look. EVERY TIME! Is there something there to the mysteries of the show?
