He stands!

Last time he was measured, he was 30 inches tall.  That's two and a half feet to you and me.  And yet we still have to roll his pant legs up.  

Xander dances

Proof that our child is preternaturally talented.  Or else he has an attraction to the conga.

Does Xander still have blue eyes?

Yes.  He also eats a lot of Cheerios.

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.
