All Aboard!!!!

Yup, thats right!!! We finally have orders to our new base! We are going to Kirtland AFB, NM! We will be heading that way in December/January. Mom and Xander will be back in Iowa until May, when Mom graduates then off to join Dad again in our new home! We are very excited to finally know where we are headed next and are looking forward to exploring a new area of the USA!

New Toys!

Yesterday we got a box of goodies from Auntie Kimberly and Uncle Landon. Inside were two balls for Xander... here is a video of him enjoying them :)

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 :)
