Happy 8th Month Xavier!

Xavier is now 8 months old. He has been VERY busy this last month...he has had so many firsts.

He can now sit up from laying down all by himself. At first it was a struggle for him to fall asleep in his crib because it was so fun to repeatedly sit up.

He can crawl EVERYWHERE.

He can pull himself up to standing. Dad had to move his mattress down so Xavier can't fall out of the crib. We're amazed at how Xavier can sleep anywhere as long as we have the sound machine along (and there is a pack and play or crib).

He can drink out of a sippy cup (kind of).
He celebrated his first Easter at the farm.
He learned how to clap and he is sure proud of himself.

He loves to babble "Daddy" and "Dadda" all day long. He calls mom, "NayNay" and doesn't let her out of his sight when she's in the house. He loves to make all sorts of crazy noises. He certainly is a social butterfly.

Xavier loves to brush his teeth with his VeggieTales toothbrush which sings songs while he brushes. He cannot contain his enthusiasm when mom turns the toothbrush on.
He loves to suck his thumb...and of course anything else that he can fit into his mouth. That includes furniture, his baseball and basketball, mom's face, his feet and his socks. We had to teach him that it's ok to suck on his own toes, but noone else's toes.

He still loves his bike . And I'm sure he loves the Speed Racer stickers that his dad put on the bike to make it "cool."
He loves when his Uncle Kevin comes to visit.

He loves rolling the ball to daddy.

He loves looking at books, but mostly eating them.

Xavier continues to be a funloving, goodnatured boy and he gets more fun everyday. We are so proud of you Xavier...we are proud to be your mommy and daddy.

Hi Jennifer! Your son is so adorable and sounds like he is doing a lot of cute and fun stuff! It was nice having a "quick" visit with you at Schmeckfest. Hope you are having a wonderful spring!
