Xander Eating

Here are some silly pictures we've recently taken of Xander eating.  He's learned to "show off his teeth" for pictures.

Eating his hummus sandwich

Pardon my finger, but I love his expression!

Blueberry face!

He had just picked this tomato!

Xander had such a fun time with his Uncle Jack and Auntie Kate last night! Check out his new moves:

Xander vocalization

Xander thinks it's funny!

Here is Xander laughing at his mommy as she drops a tape dispenser over and over. This was a most amusing joke to him : )

Yesterday Morning Conversation

Xander gets his first taste of orange paste! (carrots)

Chatter X

Laughing : D

Xander Rolls Over!

Tummy Time!

Playtime Vid!

Just some video footage of Xander being a cool little dude : )

Prevening Dance Party!

Here's some vids of us dancing with Xander before bedtime. We do this every night just before he eats his last dinner and gets changed into sleepy-time clothes. The personalized onesie is from Christie, at Beadle : ) Now we won't confuse him for some other baby.

Xander's Awesome Musicbox : )

Thanks Pete! It is perfect : )

Pacifier Xander

We don't know if he really likes this yet, but he had it in his mouth for more than two seconds without screaming and that was worth recording!

New vid of X with hiccups ; )

This video was taken during Xander's longest visit to his crib to date! So far he only goes about ten minutes without letting us know that we are supposed to be holding him.



Yesterday morning Xander went on a walk with us through the new neighborhood. We realized that the temperature was tolerable and took advantage! I bet it got ten degrees hotter by the time we finished our little adventure around the block. It has been crazy hot here lately and we even had a brief, severe thunderstorm the other day with gust of wind up to 80mph!

Paul out!

New video!

This video is made from the Q3 Zoom that I borrowed from the studio at work. I thought my voice would sound a little more like it does in my head. It doesn't. It sounds much more manly inside my skull. Anyway, we have been using the headphones and the ipod to help Xander relax and are pleased with the results so far. The track he listens to was taken from a free trial CD that some people mailed to me and I put it in a DAW, cut out the sales pitch at the beginning and looped it for an hour. He never listens for that long. It's more like a 5 minute meditation session before he just zonks out completely : ) I guess the CD track is supposed to tune your alpha brain waves or something using distant future technology. The people trying to sell the "Holotapes" say that using them can help you attain the same zen-like states of mind that life-long Buddhist monks achieve. I don't know if that's true but Xander falls asleep and that's good enough for me.

New video with X and puppies

Xander has the Hiccups all the time!!

Even when he was inside his mom's belly, Xander would get the hiccups a couple times a day! He is going to have very strong stomach muscles. Today we made an appointment for another doctor visit on July 7th at 1 PM.

Last night was kind of rough on everyone, we spent most of it changing diapers and listening to Xander scream : ( He eventually calmed down and seems just peachy today.

Paul out!
