Hugs!

Xander's adorable new trick is giving hugs! I'm not sure where he picked this up, I think it's from watching us hug each other, the dog and showing him to hug stuffed his animals, but I never really showed him. He started with the dog, he'll crawl up to Bailey pet him gently with his hand (so cute!) and then lay his little head down on him and goo! It's SO sweet! I wish I could get a picture, but Xander tends to chase after the camera once I pull it out. He also gives US hugs! He'll lay his head on your shoulder, wraps his little arms around you and hugs tight, it's the BEST feeling in the world when they finally hug you back! The cutest has started the past couple days he has started hugging his stuffed animals! It's just about the most adorable thing you ever saw, he'll grab a bunny hold it up next to his face and hug him tight, or he'll lay it on the ground and lay his head down on it, the entire time he just coos and goos and it's SOOO sweet!

So... Here a couple fun pics I found on my office camera, a couple a few months old...

Sitting at mommy's desk


With Grandma... working hard! haha


Playing with Grandma's work boots in her office...


Boppy Pillow fun!


Another cute one with Grandma!

Just for fun!

Xander's likes to climb into his toy boxes to play with his toys, I'll look over and he'll be doing a head stand into it and then he'll play for a while throw a couple toys out and then do an head stand and flop out of it! I haven't been quick enough to get a picture of him climbing in or out but here's a few cute one's (when I started taking pictures he climbed out and chased after me with the camera lol)






And here's a couple cute one's from Xander's Great Grandma's 80th Birthday Party

Love this one: Xander and Daddy


Our Little Family : )

The Countdown is on!

Till Xander's 1st Birthday!!! I can't believe my baby boy will be 1 Year Old soon!

I bought the pan for his birthday cake on Ebay last night, It's winnie the pooh holding the #1, here's a picture:


Let's keep our fingers crossed I can pull it off! It will be my first try at a cake like this, any tips?? The theme is going to Classic Winnie the Pooh Book Party, light greens, blues and browns, and everyone has to bring a book for Xander's library (my trick to get Xander more books which he really needs, baby books are expensive!). I've found invitations but they're a bit pricey so I'm looking into other options. I'll show them off once I order them!

Hard at work...

Well not really, a couple of pictures of Xander "working" hard at the office! lol SO cute!





Thankfully he never figured out how to get the files out of the cabinet before he lost interest.

Also a couple fun ones of Xander enjoying a yummy snack of Cheerios and Bananas:
