Xander's 6th and 7th Month

Sorry for the delay, but Xander, school, and work has been taking all my time.

Xander is doing great. We went for his 6mth check and he is right on target with development. He was 28 1/2 in and 19.8lbs. He has definitely surpassed that now. We just bought him a new car seat, because he out grew the old one. We also had to buy new clothes, size 12mths, because he has gotten so big.

Xander has become a little chatter box. He babbles all the time. I swear he says "Mama" and "Dada," but I am told it is just coincidence. He loves to roll all over the place. Rolling is how he gets from point A to point B. He also has likes to grab and reach for things then put them in his mouth. We had to "child proof" the house for his safety and our sanity. Here are a couple of pictures from the past month.

Xander handling power tools already!!! Daddy is so proud.

My boys!

A few of Xander's favorite pass times:

Eating his toes!

Playing in his exersaucer.

Jumping in his Jumparoo!

Xander has been eating solid foods this past month. Here he is eating carrots.

Xander is getting so big. Poor Emma can barely hold him.

He is learning and accomplishing things so fast. I can't wait to see what is in store for next month.

Xander Laughing

I absolutely love it when Xander laughs. It is so cute! Jude and I will do anything to make him laugh.

Halloween

Xander was a monkey for halloween this year. We went over to Jason's house for a halloween party. We had a great time. I definitely ate enough candy and sweets for Xander and I both. Maybe next year he can enjoy the festivities a little more.

Xander 5 moths

I can't believe Xander is already five months. I know I say that every month, but time just flies by. He is so much fun. It seems that he always has a smile on his face. His laugh is so cute and contagious. He rolls over from back to belly, but can't figure out belly to back. He gets so frustrated and freaks out until you turn him over. We started him on rice cereal this week. The first couple of times I think he had more on him then he did in his mouth. Xander on his play mat.

Destin

We went to Destin for my cousin Troy's wedding. We had a great time. We stay at the same place as our honeymoon. How romantic!!! These are some pictures of Xander at the beach. He definitely did not like the water. I think it scared him.
This is how we spent out time at the beach.

This is my favorite picture.
Emma and Jude had a great time in the water. She is getting so big.

4 months

Xander is getting to be so big. He measured 18.3 lb and 26 1/2 in. at his 4mth appointment. He is in the 95 percentile for height and weight. The pediatrician said Xander is doing really well. He is becoming such a "ham." I swear he knows to smile when there is a camera. We can thank Nana for that.

"Tummy Time"

Laughing at Uncle Mike

Only a face a mother could love.

Emma still adores Xander. It's adorable!

Xander 3 Months

Xander keeps getting bigger and bigger. We went to the doctor at 12 weeks and he was 16.4 lbs and 251/2 inches. He continues to be in the 90th percentile.
He has a lot of new tricks this month. He can hold his rattle and shake it. He blows bubbles and makes rasberry noises. He also babbles and coos. The best is he laughs, but only a few times.

He is humongous!

My favorite outfit. Jude thinks he looks like a little preppy.
