Xander simply amazes me daily. He is growing so fast. I am so blessed to be staying home with him. I cherish every day with this little dude.
Morning time is about my favorite time of day. After X-Man gets his morning milky fix I bring him into our room and he lays in the bed with me and Kevin he just chatters and coo's up a storm. Daddy gives us our morning kisses before he leaves for work.
Some days Daddy gets to work from home. We like that!
Kevin celebrated his 1st Father's Day in style. We enjoyed a day at Long Beach Island, well not so much a day but a short trip to the beach. It was pretty windy and chilly so X wasn't super pumped about the beach. I think he will enjoy it more as he gets bigger. We got a couple good pics though.
This picture is blurry, but it cracks me up. Every night after bath time I make silly faces at Xander in the mirror and he just grins and smiles as big as his cute little cheeks will let him. I'll get Kevin to take some better pictures.
Classic X-Man pose! Those fingers are yummmy!
We made some homemade caramel popcorn balls the other night and Kevin tried to roll the hot carmel a little too soon. More like hot lava! LOL! His dance was the best part. Ever try to get hot carmel off your fingers?
Xander is fascinated with the Bumbo chair. He thinks he is something special sitting up all by himself.
His teething toy looks like a little beard.
His favorite way to nap during the day. I'm not going to lie, it's my favorite way to nap too!
Sometimes he will even let Kevin get some cuddles.
The dogs love their baby brother, but I am always careful when they are anywhere near Xander. I have a feeling these guys will be great friends as they grow.
One more quick story before I go. Kevin, Xander and I went to lunch at one of the local Italian restaurants, let me rephrase that. Authentic Italian restaurant. Family owned and operated. Anyway we place our order and Poppa comes over and proceeds to kiss Xander all over his head, hands, and feet. Showering him with all kinds of sweet Italian blessings! Then he calls over Mama and daughters to check out the cute bambino. Xander didn't seem to mind the adoration. I didn't especially like a stranger kissing my baby, but when in Rome & they made wonderful calzones! To be continued...
Aww, cute stories and pics! I'm so proud of the mommy you are sis! I love it that you are staying home with Xander and enjoying it so much. So many great pics here. I love his expression in Daddy's lap while daddy is working, and napping on your chest (so precious), the silly faces in the mirror, sitting in the bumbo.... oh, such sweet moments!!! If I haven't mentioned it... I'm SO glad you are doing a blog :) I think the Italian Poppa giving him kisses is so sweet. It would be weird, but he may turn into a wonderful friend there around you guys... you just never know. What's not to love about our sweet Xander-bino! Okay, my essay is done now :) Love you!
ReplyDeleteHe is simply adorable and every picture captures a sweet and wonderful moment! I'm thrilled too that you are getting to stay home with Lil Xan, he will greatly enjoy having mommy around ;0) His precious grinning melts my heart...he is showing signs of having an easy going personality and looks to love laughter! Gotta love his beautiful, peaceful look while napping in mommy's arms and his trade mark of chewing his little fingers :0) Hope all else is going well as you explore and find new places and people to enjoy your days with. Don't let all his kisses be stolen...save some for us!!! Love ya lots...
