Xander's First Beach Trip

Today was a big day for Xander. After waking up at 6:30 am, he spent the morning playing with his parents.

At noon, the whole family went to the gym. Xander slept while mommy and daddy took turns bouldering and stretching. Mommy weighed Xander on the gym scale and discovered that he weighs fourteen pounds now--almost double his birth weight.

It was an unusually warm day, about 70 degrees, so the family spent the afternoon at Stinson Beach. During his first trip to the beach Xander managed to get sand on his head and in his ear. (Just a few windblown grains.) Though daddy threatened to dip Xander's little baby feet in the freezing cold ocean, mommy intervened.

In the evening, Xander reached out with both hands to grab a toy hanging in front of him. This is the first time he has been able to do that.

Xander is now sleeping peacefully, clean after a bath, full after a meal, and ready to go to daycare tomorrow.
