Xander on Xmas morning

Xander's first Xmas.  Santa brought him a corn popper.  

Rosy cheeks

Mama gets crafty

I made and sewed this wicked heart patch onto his cozy knit outfit I bought him from Old Navy, just to give it some personality.  It indicates love while giving him a bit of an edge.  

Proof he can stand

Here he is, watching his dad shovel snow.  

In addition to standing, he can also cruise around the furniture (albeit gingerly) and crawl everywhere.  

My little lamb

"Why, mother?  Why must I suffer these indignities?  This costume smells like cigarettes and cheap perfume, and the hoof-spats keep falling off.  I'm a human being!  I have rights!"  

We bought a tree

It was cold.  We were both shook and baled.

Merry Xmas!

It's been a while since I've posted updates, mostly because I spent November premiering my one-woman show (merchandise on sale now!), but also because Xander is jealous of my laptop.  Whenever he sees me with it, he becomes very cranky and tries to pull it off my lap.  That makes keeping up with the ol' blog rather difficult.  

But at least he still lets me dress him in ridiculous outfits.  Exhibit A.
