First day of preschool, 6 months for Eli and last vox blog

Xander started his first day of actual preschool today. He attended a toddler school program one day a week the second part of last year but today was the first day of official preschool! He had a smile on his face when I dropped him off and an even bigger smile when I picked him up. There were about 4 kids crying when I dropped him off so I was a little nervous that he'd start to get upset because of the others, but he just went about the start of his day and sat down and started playing with the activities set out by his teachers.

Here is my big boy, complete with backpack.

 In other news, guess who is over 20 lbs, wearing 12-18month clothes and is 6 months old day?

Today Eli is wearing sweats that Xander wore when he took his first steps at 13 months. Is this kiddo going to be a giant toddler or slow down? At this rate he'll be wearing the 2T clothes that Xander wore this summer next summer. I might as well not even box up the clothes!


Also, this will be my last post on this site. Vox is closing and I'll be transferring my blog over to another site. I'm having some issues with the transfer right now but I'll send out an email when I know the new address. I'm sad about vox closing. I've been posting on this site since before Xander was born and I'm sad to see it go.


Until next time on a new site.......

sunday afternoon

Sunday afternoon we took a drive out to The Reserve Golf Course and had a great lunch out on the deck. It's a beautiful piece of property and Xander loved watching all the birds and airplanes out in the fresh air.

Totally in L-O-V-E !

jumpin' !

Xander got his jumperoo yesterday! He doesn't really understand he needs to jumo with his legs but he gets that the thing moves when he does. His solution: bob my big giant pumpkin head. He's such a goof ball! When I get video of him bobbing his head I'll post it.

If you are wondering why I've posted 3 times already today, my hubby came home with an early birthday gift, a new apple lap top!!!! It's a ton faster and much cooler than our old one.

4 months old

Alexander is four months old today! I don't want him to grow up too fast, but I'm so happy we are moving on & up in the world of babyhood! He was an awful grump most of December but is now finally getting a bit better. I don't know if I dare label him as a "colicky baby", but fussy is definitely a word in our daily vocabulary. It seems he is starting to come through the fussy period though, maybe......I don't want to jinx us. He likes the fact he can hold his toys, especially the fact he can bring them to his mouth to chew them. He likes when I sing to him and when his daddy plays peek-a-boo. He is a huge giggler now and it's easier to make him laugh. He has recently discovered his lips and is making all sorts of new raspberry/zerbert sounds. We think he's going to be a silly little boy, not serious like some babies. He is probably well on his way to being a trouble maker too. Anna and I are pretty sure Xander and Elliot will cause quite a bit of trouble together. At least if that happens we can double team them!

Don't let the smile fool you. He's been a GRUMP today!
He is wearing an outfit from Auntie Meghann that is size 6-12 months! Can you believe that? It is from Gymboree though and I find they run a tad small.
I'm still sore from my workout on Friday but I'm going to make myself get up and go again tomorrow. Wish us luck!


"Grumpy? Who me?"
