Glasses

I love these old pictures of X and his daddy wearing silly glasses!  I can't believe how much Xander's hair has grown since these pictures were taken. 

This Week

We drove to Sioux Falls this weekend to visit Xander's Gema and Grandpa Jerry.  Xander had a blast playing with his sunglasses in the car!  He has been a busy baby--he learned how to say a bunch of new words over the course of the last week or so.  One of my favorites:  He says "baby, baby, baby" and rocks his hands back and forth when he wants to watch the "Baby Signing Time" DVD.  While we were watching the section about pets on Wednesday, he started saying "frog" and saying and signing "birdie."  He's been saying them all weekend!  He also says "Ruby" now, although it sounds like "Ro-bie."  Ruby is the name of his toy who looks very similar to Hubie.  Xander is so much fun, always playing and talking and interacting with the world around him.  He is getting to be so much more independent, but at the same time, he is more patient about letting us do certain things for him.

Here's some footage from our car ride on Saturday--sorry so shaky, Mike! ;)

Xander's Extended Easter

We have so many pictures from Xander's trip to the Tielke's last weekend and we still have to go through them all.  Luckily, Gema sent us some to post right away!  We had a great time seeing the family and hanging out.  Xander enjoyed every minute of it!
