I got pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daycare is good, busy, crazy and sometimes rough... I have three children not including Xander- a 10 month old, a three year old and a two year old. It's an adjustment but they are the cutest little people!

Week 19

Oh my goodness! So, I went to download pictures for tonight's blog only to find~~~ no new pictures! I'm failing... I guess that's what happens when you stay at home and work- daycare! I will get some pictures and load them tomorrow.

Week 18/ Month 4

I can't believe how fast time goes by. My sweet Xander turned 4 months on Friday. He is the most wonderful addition to our family. He is such a joy. Today is Monday and he had a doctor's appointment at 1:00 pm, which is why I'm posting late.

So...... Xander is now 25 inches long and weighs 13.2 pounds. He is a healthy little man who is happy and wonderful. He got his shots (YUCK). I think mom (me) had a worse time with it than Xander! Thank goodness my wonderful husband was able to go with us. He was able to calm our sweet boy down after the pain. Daddy and Xander stood there and hugged as daddy sang the tears away.

A new toy~ legs too short, but singing anyway

Week 17

Xander is sucking on his hands a lot and so we are thinking that he's teething. He's been singing more and more and loves to babble. He is discovering his hand more and more often and is grabbing onto toys. Tomorrow I have to call and make a dr. appointment. I'm dreading more shots for our little man. He is growing so fast so it will be nice to find out how big he is...

This week~

My Sunday Best...

Xander's still in a couple of his newborn clothes. He's still pretty tiny and, of course, beautiful. We do so love our little man.

Week 16

Wow, what a week. My little man is growing so fast. He loves his daddy. As soon as he hears daddy's voice he gets excited and starts to kick. The other day, as I held him towards me, Scott walked in and said hi and Xander just gasped and started to kick his little feet so fast. He's such a cute little man. I try to take pictures of him in all of his outfits, but...

Daddy and me

As you can clearly see- there are a lot of little outfits to try out. Xander has moved up a size in diapers so that there are no more leaks. I have to tell you~ we love these cloth diapers!! He keeps us busy but we can't imagine life before him. What more could we ask for in life?

Week 15

Wow! What a week. Xander has found some new noises to share with the household. He loves to "sing". We'll turn on the music and he'll start to sing- it's an interesting sound that starts in his throat and just vibrates out. He's so funny.

He found his thumbs, too. He'll stare at those thumbs for hours... turning his fist this way and that as he searches each and every side. It's amazing to watch him. Mom and dad stare at him for hours.

Sitting up...

Surprise!

Love my Winnie~

I look like a big boy...

Tell me this is not the cutest little man ever! He is growing so fast. He's trying to help hold his own bottle and sit up and making all kinds of noises. He's our little doll and we adore him!

Still week 14...

Wow~ what a wonderful week! So many changes happening. My last day of work was Friday and it was wonderful and sad. I am very excited for the next adventure in our life. I have painted, rearranged, moved, built and put together ideas, furniture, and toys... I haven't been this excited in a long time. And nervous as ever, of course.

Excitement because I get to see my beautiful son everyday and I get to hole him and kiss him and spend time with him. I am super excited to watch children- they are so full of life. I look forward to learning and growing.

I was talking to my little sister, Jodi, today and Xander (who was on my right leg facing out) started rocking himself back and forth, back and forth, his little legs dangling on either side of my leg. He's so strong. He's also slobbering like a crazy man. Holy cow...

But he's still the cutest man ever!

And takes the cutest pictures...

Now, you tell me this is the wrong choice- ya, that's what I thought~ he's definitely worth it!
