Xander, 6 month check

On July 17th Xander had his six month appointment. He is just a growin'. He is now 16 lbs, 2 oz and was 26 inches tall. That puts him in the 55% for height and 40% for weight. His head size was still 30%. All is great with him and he is as cute as ever. He took his first tubba in the big bath tub and he is sort of eating baby food. We don't feed him it every day, but he has tried bananas and loves them. He isn't a fan of the rice cereal, though. I am hoping to get a picture of him in the big tubba soon to post. It is just so cute to see this little guy in such a huge tub. Even though our tub is normal sized its huge to a baby. He jibber jabbers a ton to himself and sits up on his own and is becoming quite the pro at it. While sitting he grabs at anything in his reach. He can roll over, but doesn't do it much. He hates being on his tummy, but can roll either way. Twice now I have found him in the morning on his tummy when I started him on his back. He is rolling over sometime in the night. No sign of teeth yet, but he drools a ton, still. He has discovered his tongue and sticks it out any chance he gets. Its really cute! Other than that, no new news on the Xander man.

4th of July


I know its the 15th, but I am finally getting around to posting about the 4th. I only have pics from the start of our day, but there were some really cute ones of Xander. We started off going over to watch the 7, yes count them 7, members of my family run in the Ray Barrus 5k 4th of July run in Grantsville. Maren, Loren, Jen, Ken, Shayla, Kara and Kamille all ran. I was very impressed with all of them. Loren came in 7th overall and 3rd in his age, as did Jen (3rd in her age), and Maren came in 4th in her age. It was pretty cool to see everyone. Here is a photo of the runners.
Then we went over to mom's house for a brunch and I took some cute pics of Xander.


We hit a quick BBQ at Dave's family's house and then headed for Kevin and Jen's house. Our good friends. We always spend the 4th with them. We had another BBQ that night and did fireworks. It was a great time and Xander slept through the fireworks. What a cutie!
