It's amazing the leaps in advancement Xander makes in a single day. It's truly the most amazing thing to me. He is now crawling backwards, sideways, but still rarely forward. He is still working on getting that forward momentum. Also he has learned to move around the office and my desk avoiding hazardous obstacles, it's pretty amazing!
A couple weeks ago Xander began shaking his head back and forth quickly, kinda like he's saying no no no no! But it was obvious that he didn't know what that meant or what no means. So I thought it was a good jumping off point to start teaching him yes and no. I tried to show him how to shake his head up and down to say yes and repeated yes over and over. I could tell his was trying really hard but only got a half yes then went back to the no no no! haha Then Sunday Xander was sitting on the floor playing with his Tigger when he shook his head no no no, Chris and I said yes, yes, yes and shook our heads up and down... then slowly he followed us! He carefully and slowly with much concentration shook his head up and down, yes! It was amazing! It was like watching his little brain develop right before our eyes!
Last little update I wanted to mention, I think Xander may becoming attached to Mommy! And I'm kinda regretting wishing he would be more attached to or favor me over others. It started this past weekend, he would NOT be good or be quiet or do anything for Chris when I left and went in the other room to get ready, finally I had to go get him and bring him in the bathroom with me. He quietly sat and watched me do my hair for a half an hour! Then yesterday we were at home for lunch, I got him a bottle and asked mom to feed him for me while I made lunch. Well after fighting with him for 5 minutes, I had to take over and feed him. This is very unusual because he sees grandma more than anyone second to his daddy, everyday at work. But he wanted Mommy to feed him, no one else, this could be a problem! lol
