Catching up!

After a VERY busy couple of weeks, including: My 27th birthday! Our 2nd wedding Anniversary! Xander's 1st trip to the Lake, A new Sandbox, lots of outdoor play for Xander and SO much more! I have been taking pictures like crazy. (Note: no lake pictures yet, I have to get them for mom still)
As far as Xander goes he's gotta a couple fun new phrases, "I sorry" "WHOA!" "No Way!" "Alright!" and "I ready!"
He says, "I sorry" ALOT, I don't think he completely understands what it means. I think it's a consequence of mommy saying I'm sorry alot, I guess I'm going to have to work on that one.
Another big step, Elmo used the potty the other day. Yeah you read that right, Elmo. Well it's a first step, Xander taught Elmo to use the potty this past weekend. Which I have read is the first step in understanding the whole potty situation. He is also FINALLY starting to admit when he has a dirty diaper, he used to just say no, now it's about 50/50, baby steps. I'm keeping my patience, no rush, but I'm excited to see he's been listening and learning.
This past weekend Grandma Nancy and Mark took Xander to the Lake for the first time, giving mom and dad a full weekend ALONE! Thank you Grandma! haha Xander did great. Tried VERY hard to jump in the lake, saw his first local tarantula, learned about big rocks, had his first chocolate malt and completely wore Grandma and Mark out! haha
Lastly this past weekend we got Xander his first Sandbox! He LOVES it! He has to be pulled away kicking and screaming... at least it keeps him busy for LONG periods of time while I work outside.
