Summer Update
Oh, it's beginning to be very difficult to update this with any frequency!
Xander is becoming a big boy now. He is scooching around on his belly in a one-armed one-legged army crawl, and pretty mobile. He loves playing with boxes, especially yelling into them to hear the loud sound. He smiles at everyone, and is a regular party animal--kicking, laughing, swinging his arms when it's late and he wants to stay up with the big kids (the adults). He is eating all kinds of smooshy food that we make him--avocado, banana, sweet potato, tofu, lentils, you name it, but he still doesn't have any teeth. His hair is definitely reddish--strawberry blond--and he frequently comes home from daycare with a little mohawk. He's interested in all kinds of small items that he shouldn't play with--shoelaces, electrical cords, eyeglasses. He is chattering away--saying dada to Micah and mamamama to me.
We're having a great time watching this little guy grow up.

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!

Much Traveling
The whole family went to the east coast in May. First stop was Miriam & Mattias' wedding in DC. It was a beautiful wedding, in an intimate chapel in Georgetown. They are a very happy couple.
Grandma Dixie was in town for the wedding, and Lauren, Dixie and Xander flew down to South Carolina to visit with Xander's Auntie Jen and Uncle Steve. Micah stayed in VA to attend a work conference.
Xander was a great traveler--he only cried at the very end of our 18-hour trip from SC back to SF.
He's now beginning to sit up and his favorite word right now is da-da-da-da-da-da-da. That and blowing raspberries.
Oooh, ice water!
