Why are you taking all these pictures of me?

More photos! Xander is four months old now. What's he doing?

Laughing & squealing when mommy tickles him with her hair
Holding his head up while on his tummy
Rotating 90 degrees when on his tummy
Beginning to roll over (and off a pad at yoga class when mommy wasn't looking-bad mommy!)
Staring at his hands, amazed.
Sitting with a little help
Standing with a lot of help
Being carried like a football.
Wondering why his parents are constantly taking photos of him.

Xander is apparently stunned at his sudden luck with the older ladies.

Dahlia, Micah, Kelly, Xander, Matt

Xander is making the rounds. Here he's contemplating how to ask Matt if he can date his daughter Dahlia. I've tried to explain to Xander that he's a little old for Dahlia and he should look in the three to four month range. Dahlia meanwhile is practicing her cuddling with Micah while her mom Kelly looks on.

Happy About First Overalls

Ah yes, first overalls. He's looking like a young man now. Soon we'll buy him a hammer.

Happy About First Overalls

Oh no, how soon he becomes unhappy with his first overalls.

Young Man

Xander is growing by leaps and bounds. He's now 14 lbs. He can hold his head and chest up when he's on his tummy. He's beginning to laugh. And he's becoming really interested in the other kids at daycare.

Soon, he'll probably start to cut teeth. Micah and I are waiting until he seems interested in food before we start feeding him solids. He sits on mommy or daddy's lap at most meals, and watches us eat.

He sleeps from about 9 pm to 3 am, then has a bit of food, and goes back to sleep for another three hours.

Oh, check out Yo Gabba Gabba, there's a party in my tummy. That will be our life in about two years.
