Michigan and Learning to Walk!

So it has been a while since I've posted anything, and Oh SO much has happened!
Xander and I took his First Plane trip to Michigan to see his Great Grandma & Grandpa! Just Mommy and Xander! Daddy couldn't come this time due to having to save his time off for surgery. He had his surgery last week, everything went wonderful and I'm looking forward to one more week of him home with us, I don't mind taking care of 2 babies! haha
Xander did awesome on the plane, although it was VERY nerve racking for mommy, and let me just say, please think of me and baby Xander the next time you're on a plane with a new mom all by herself, and try to be nice and even helpful if you can! I encountered a few meanies who didn't take kindly to a lady on a plane with a baby, but for the most part people were SO nice and played peek-a-boo with him on the planes or gave him cookies.
While we were in Michigan Xander had SO many amazing new experiences, seeing bunnies, chickens and sheep for the first time, singing "Hail to the Victor's" over and over, seeing grandpa ride around on the tracktor, everyday walks with grandma, but the by far the most important...
HE LEARNED TO WALK!!! Yay!! lol It was actually on Sept. 8th, daddy's birthday, what a present! We are SO proud of our baby boy, who sadly I can no longer call a baby but a TODDLER! And he is definitely a toddler now, it's amazing how one day you have a baby and the next day this little boy is walking around talking on his cell phone with one hand and carrying his cup with the other! Sigh... it really is so brief... I'm happy I took lots of pictures! Speaking of pictures... a good friend of mine is working on building up her professional portfolio and is taking pictures of Xander this Thursday at the UNM duck pond! I can't wait, I promise they will be posted asap... check these out for now : )
