Daddy's Business Trip

Xander decided to help his daddy pack for a business trip to Las Vegas...

... Unfortunately, Xander ended up staying behind - but he and mommy did get to have a slumber party at Grammy's house for two nights!

Solid Foods!

In the middle of December Xander started eating "real food." He started with rice cereal. He was a really good eater and cooperated with us rather well. I thought it was going to be a lot tougher introducing solid foods, but he took to it like a champ!





THEN he discovered the spoon. He no longer wishes to sit and be fed - HE wants to control the spoon!! MONSTER! Oh - and he just got his first tooth yesterday!

Happy New Year!

Unlike most years in the past, Paul and I stayed in town for New Year's Eve. We went to a New Year's party at the Bushmeyer's house in Monrovia, rang in the New York new year and then went back to my parent's house to ring in the new year in our time zone. We all barely made it to midnight (except for Xander - poor guy just couldn't make it) and then went to bed. Here's to a wonderful year full of joy and a bunch of Xander's "firsts" - first tooth, first step, first word, etc...
