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.  

Xander almost stands

Here I am trying to document his almost-crawling, when Xander up and almost stands!  He's had an ear infection and a bad cold for most of this month, which made him very cranky and tired.  He's clearly feeling better now, which is a relief and a delight.  

Bath time, the aftermath

Those are not sausage casings.  Those are his arms.  

bath time

He loves bath time now.  He's just discovered splashing.
