8 Months!

Xander turned eight months today! Still so hard to believe how fast he is growing!!! We are starting to teach him sign language as well and he is starting to sign "more". He has his own 'sign' that means he wants something, but I think all babies have that! At least he is consistant! He has also started 'talking' and says just about every baby sound except "mama" :) but we know he is saving the best for when it really counts!!

Here are his newest stats:

Height: 30 inches
Weight: 25 pounds
Teeth: 4!!

# of fish: 15

Favorite foods: All fruit and 'puffs'
Least favorite: Still peas and green beans

Bedtime: 7pm
Sleeps about 11 hours a night :)
Naps: 2-3 a day

And...most exciting....a video of his newest accomplishment....

CRAWLING!!!! (Well at the moment its hopping and flopping but give him a few days to fine tune the details and he'll be on his way :) )

Just a few more pics...

New Toys, New Tricks, and...New PJs....

Here is Alixander playing with an Air Force jet from Grandpa

























and him coming to get the camera from Mommy once he decided the camera was a better toy. No, not crawling forward yet but he moves well enough he almost doesnt need to!


























Also, a pic of Xander in his new PJs Daddy picked up for him on his latest trip to Milwaukee for work. They glow in the dark but Im not about to try to get a picture of that! haha.



























And just some pictures of him being way too cute for words :)

We Dont Like Elmo...

We took Xander to a kids party at the park last weekend and they had a variety of characters there. We found out he likes Shrek (even though I think he looks creepy...) wanted to eat the "Thing"s hand and did not like Elmo at all...Was a good time overall and was nice to be able to get out of the house and enjoy the weather!

A Hard Days Work..

Here is Xander 'working' with Grandpa Bob (Joshs Dad) when we visited them last weekend.

Easy Entertainment...

This is what happens when you give a baby a 99cent squeaky toy and put him out of reach of a dog....

Wedding Weekend

Here are some of the pics from Uncle Landon and Aunt Kimberly's wedding as well as playing with cousin Zach!!
