Cutie kiddos

Here is Xander...7 months young. Angelina's a ballerina waiting to go to Disney On Ice. We had a blast! :) I love my kids!

Xander's new discoveries

Ok, so a funny thing has happened in the last couple days! Xander has made two discoveries. The first is his voice. Our little man is talking/screeching/yelling up a storm--especially when he is hungry!

The second discovery is his penis!!! haha. Seriously though, during diaper changes I have to prevent him from tearing it off! Gotta love little boys!

Xander man

I feel terrible about this, but I don't really write much about Xander! Not that there isn't enough to write about. Let's see...I'll catch you up. He's the sweetest, most curious and chill little boy. An avid thumb-sucker, his favorite past-time is staring longingly at his big sister. According to Xander (not that he can talk), Angelina hung the moon and stars. He is in love! And as Angelina tells me, "I'm going to marry Xander one day Mommy". So sweet. I just keep praying that my children continue to love each other like they do now (sigh).

Xander is desperately wanting to be mobile and do what big sister does. He can sit up all by himself (started at 5 1/2 months). He is eating big boy food (4 months) and is always up for a chat with his sister. He currently is in a relationship with his teacher at school, Ms. Candice. We call her his girlfriend. I am chopped liver if she is around. He doesn't want anything to do with me if he can see her. Honestly, I kind of like that he is someone's favorite at school though. It's comforting to know that someone else thinks he's the greatest little boy around! Go on Xanderman....get her! :)

Xander is just now getting over a couple illnesses. He had a persistent cough for over a month--"allergies" the doc said. He also just had a bout with the stomach bug. I had to take off work to stay home with him....oh dread! NOT! I love staying home with my lil'man.

I told Spencer that if I was guaranteed that the rest of our kiddos would have his temperment, that we could just keep on having some kiddos. I know that's not a given though.

We love our little Xander man. We think he's the best little boy around and as Angelina so plainly puts it, "her best friend". You gotta love children! :)

Fashionable kids

Here are some from our latest practice photo session.

DEATH TO THE FROG!!!

Ok, so you know your day is going to be great when you start if off by listening to a little Leap Frog toy sing the alphabet song FOR 45 MINUTES!!! Yes, you heard that right...45 minutes. This morning, thinking I was being a sweet mother, I placed a leap frog toy in Xander's carseat. I wanted him to be entertained on the ride to school. Well, I got my wish--he was definitely entertained. The toy got wedged between his little legs and he began to repeatedly kick the tar out the toy, each time triggering the alphabet song. Did I mention this went on for 45 MINUTES! "A, B, C, D, E, F, G....SHUT UP!"

Good times.....

Comparing the kiddos

Ok, so I know you're not supposed to compare your kids, BUT everyone swears they look identical to each other and Spencer and I disagree. So here's the proof that there are in fact differences between the kiddos.
