Cletus T. Judd...

Xander would like to introduce you to the newest family member. He is a Walker Coon Hound and will be 3 in September. His name is actually Cletus T. Judd. No, we did not name him and yes, if I could I would change it! He is very lazy and prefers to sleep on the couch all day. He does love to explore and weve had to chase him, thought slowly, down the block or up the hill more than once already! Xander loves him and Cletus doesnt mind Xander tugging and pulling and flopping on top of him. Xander has decided he likes crawling right underneath Cletus! Here is a few pictures of him.

Look What I Can Do!!!

Here is Xander's newest trick... :) I would also like to add that he stood all by himself for 10 seconds yesterday. Doesnt seem like much but was so cool to watch! :)

Summer Fun in California!!!

Here is a slideshow of all the fun we had in California. Xander went in a big pool for the first time ever. Was not too sure about it to begin with but ended up having fun. He got to play with his cousin Zach (almost 2) and tried to play with his cousing Landen (2 months). He enjoyed being outside and loved being able to have a big area to crawl around in and new places to explore! He found out that he can pull himself up and walk along the furniture. He also found out he can climb up small steps!

9 Months!

Well we celebrated Alixander's 9 month 'birthday' while we were in California. He is getting so big and learning so many new things it is simply amazing. He weighs 26.5 pounds and is 30 inches tall. Has 6 teeth with more on the way! He is crawling all over and getting into everything!

Here are some pics of him on his 'birthday'.

Xander Reading

Alixander LOVES books! Probably more than most toys. Here is him reading his new book...and showing off his new tricks :)

Playing and Playing and Playing!!!

Here are some pics of Xander just playing in the mornings here in Cali (and one from Scott). He is normally the happiest in the early morning so it makes getting up with him a little easier (just a litte though :) )

Farmers Market

Well we made it here to Livermore and enjoyed spending a few hours at their local Farmer's Market. Xander liked watching the people and playing in the grass. Here are a couple of pics from there...
