Oh the joy of boy!

Here are some lovely pics of our Xan man! He certainly is changing - less of a baby and more of a boy. Thanks to Liz for helping make him look as cute as he is, great photos, eh? Every day we're seeing changes, my how he likes to take things apart. Makes for interesting times when trying to fold laundry, for instance, as he grabs as fast (or faster) than the folder. Climbing, exploring, throwing, touching - he's into it!

Sound of Music - explored

A friend sent me this YouTube video. Hilarious! Would that we could/would ALL stop the daily routine and start to dance. Delightful. Enjoy!

Happy 1st Birthday, Xan!

Wowee!!! Xan is now one! Way to go baby boy! (Insert chant of one, one, one.)

We're at the end of Spring Break - funny how fast that flitted by. The TO DO list is far from finished. Sigh. But, we had some good times at the coast, thanks to CH's parents loan of their house at Seaside. Sadly it rained non-stop the entire time we were there. We still relaxed, read, drove the coast, visited Tillamook and Astoria (highly recommend Baked Alaska on a cool pier in the latter - yummy!) and marveled at the mobility of the small one.

Xan had a small birthday bash: one tante, a Granny & Poppy, two cousins, his mama. His dad had to work... Funniest thing was that Xan was not about to taste the frosting of his little cupcake (made without refined sugar - hear a cheer for agave nectar!) and was forced to put his coated fingers in his mouth by his mama. Then, he discovered the bliss and went from squawking to heaven in less than a second.

Check out some of the looks from this past week here.
