Xander is 19 months old now and loves to eat, play, and talk.  Over the last week or so, he has learned to say banana ("nanny"), eat (the word and the sign), zoo, and hat (the word and the sign).  Here is Xander using an orange peeler to eat his Morning O's:

Chili Con Xander

Xander loves vegan chili!  It has all of his favorite bite-sized foods:  different kinds of beans, corn, peppers, and tomatoes.  Yum!  We've never see him eat so much in one sitting!  Good thing Xander also loves to take baths ;)

Weekend Visitors

Gema and Grandpa Jerry came to visit last weekend.  Xander had a blast showing them everything he can do now!  He has been talking about his grandpa all week :)

Here are some pictures from Gema:

Happy New Year!

Xander has had a busy week!  One week ago, we celebrated the new year at the Xoo, complete with a noon countdown and beach ball drop.  On Tuesday, we went to Lincoln for a playdate at X's aunt Kiki's, where he wore himself out playing with the twins.  X had a doctor appointment on Wednesday and received his last shots until he's four years old!  The doctor said he is super healthy and doing well.  We don't have to go back for 6 more months.  Xander is talking more than ever, now enjoying the words house, water, fishy (he says "sishy" and signs fish with one hand), down, and of course Andy.  He loves to run around at the furniture mart, climb the ramp at Legend Comics, play with every toy at the library, and flirt with all the girls that walk by him at the mall.  We are having a blast!

Here are some pictures of X playing with blocks, doing his favorite yoga move (down dog), and drinking his favorite drink (water):
