My Little Boy

June 5th, 2010



Lately I can't believe how big my little boy is getting. He had his first sunday in nursery last sunday. He is 18 months old and only weights 4-5 lbs less than Covey. He is definately different than Covey. Xander is not a picky eater. He will eat almost anything, including fish. The only thing he will not eat is broccoli. On the other hand, he does not like going to sleep as much as Covey did. He is still sleeping in a crib, so he doesn't have much of a choice in the matter, but he will start crying the minute he realizes that we are starting to get ready to bedtime.


Xander will also stick up for himself. (He will also cry like crazy to let you know if he feels Covey isn't treating him right) Since Xander and Covey are both so close in weight Xander is not afraid to go and push Covey down on the floor is he is being picked on. Unfortunately he has learned from Covey how to push, shove, and also slam fingers in doors.... sigh. I keep trying to explain to Covey that Xander learns things from Covey, and that if Covey wants to be treated nice he needs to treat Xander nice too. Just one of the joys of being a parent.


All in all, it seems like it was just yesterday that Xander was born, and now he is getting to be so big. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! My baby boy is now walking, talking (Some), feeding himself, etc....

I'm a Big Brother!

June 4th, 2010

Xander is enjoying having a little sister. He does seem to have his moments where he seems jealous of the attention that Jerrica gets, but overall he is handeling it well. He normally doesn't show Jerrica too much attention, but every now and then he does enjoy holding her (With our help of course). The first couple times he held her he would just sit there and look down at her at giggle. It was pretty cute.

Well Baby Check Up

April 5th, 2010

This morning Xander had a well baby check up. He is healthy and doing well. I can't believe how big he is getting!. Interestingly he truely is a lot different from Covey. The doctor had Xander's height checked twice today. She was so surprised at how much he had grown in the last 3 months, that she had them double check it right in front of her. Xander is topping the growth chart!!! He is now 23lbs.... Only about 6 lbs less than Covey is now. (And he is 3.5 years old)

Xander is Learning to Walk

February 4, 2010

Tonight Xander really started to take his first steps! He has been trying to walk, but has always had to hold on to something for support. Tonight he was giggling and laughing having a blast trying to walk from Mommy to Daddy. It won't be long at all and I'll be chasing him around the house!

January Update

January 2010

Xander is such a ball of energy. He is constantly getting into everything... Much more than Covey ever did. Needless to say he keeps us on our toes. He loves to empty all of my lower kitchen cupboards, try to eat Daisy's dog food, and his new favorie things is..... (Drum roll) playing in the toilet. No matter ho much we try to make sure the bathroom door gets kept closed, it is impossible to catch it everytime, since Covey is still potty training. Covey does not help much with the problem. He likes to sit and watch, and then when we are about to see Xander go "Xander Potty", just so that we will think he is helping and not just watching.

Xander's 1st Birthday

November 2009

Xander is now a year old. He is a little ball of energy, and unlike Covey, loves to eat everything. (Including Poison Ivy and Mr. Clean....) Needless to say he keeps us busy. He is also starting to talk now, and will repeat after us when we say "daddy" or "yucky". Covey thinks it is fun to try to get Xander to talk and I will often find him trying to teach Xander new sounds.

Here are some picture of Xander with his cake. He loved it, and we eventually had to cut him off so he wouldn't make himself sick eating too much.

Guy Smiley

March 2009

We have noticed a few things different between Xander and Covey by this point. One is that Xander is constantly full of smiles whenever he is happy and someone is talking to him with a smile. We also get some funny stares from him at times too. So the debate is on! Who does he look like now? See pics below:

Xander's First Bath

December 2008



There came a point after bringing him back from the hospital that Xander couldn't go any longer without a bath! I think he rather enjoyed the warm water on his skin, but gave us the "death to you all" squeal when we decided to wash his head. More pics below:
