Here's Mr. Boo feeding himself some oatmeal. Sort of.

After a long hiatus, more Xander pics

It's been nearly 2 months since we put up new photos, oh dear! In June, Xander's cousin Kayman Kingston was born, all 5 lbs 14 oz of him. We went to visit him in Portland, OR on Fourth of July weekend. Mommy Emma and Daddy Vince hosted eight out of town guests.

Here's Emma and Baby K.

In June, Xander perfected sitting up on his own, and in July he's perfected rolling as a form of locomotion. We put him on the rug sitting up, go into the kitchen to make some food, and look out two minutes later and he's rolled off the rug and is halfway under the couch.

He also loves eating solid foods. We're making him fresh baby food. He's had sweet potatoes, peas, spinach, banana, oatmeal, egg yolk, avocado, carrot, apple, chicken, and his favorite: pear.

Just last week he began to sleep through the night with some consistency.

He's a cheerful, curious, active little boy, and we expect he'll be crawling within two weeks or so. Got to babyproof now!
