We had a great time at the park on Saturday. Xavier loves the slides and sandbox too! More photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajdoudt

Xavier got a part in the new Spiderman movie! He's playing the role of Spiderman's sidekick, Captain Uh-Oh.

Tenacious

Lately Xavier will hold on to one Cheerio for hours after his snack.  He won't give it up for anything and it turns into mush after a while.  He is tenacious.

Woke up this morning to a big snow fall from last night. :)

One of Each

We've already posted this on Facebook but wanted to share here as well.  Xavier is going to be a big brother!  We are due in late May and recently we found out it'll be a girl.  Isn't she cute?!

We have a couple names that we like but haven't made a final decision, and we're not planning to share the name until she's born.  :)  Next step, get her room figured out and outfitted.

As for the X-Man, he is a walking machine.  He took his first tentative steps back in mid-November but didn't really get moving until the first week of December.  He's now running around like crazy.

His first word was "ball" and he's since added "uh-oh" and "wow".  He is a great eater...when he wants to be.  He loves yogurt, bananas, corn, peas, oranges, grapes, milk, rice, green beans, and bagels.

We are getting settled in Raleigh and really enjoying the mild temperatures, especially with the Polar Vortex hitting the midwest right now.  We've even been able to use our screened in back porch several times this winter!

Step by Step

It's official.  Xavier took his first unassisted steps!  We didn't catch it on video but I'm sure we will soon.  He is 10 months and 3 weeks old.

A few other items of note about Xavier:
-  He loves to eat sweet potatoes, carrots, corn, peaches, and bananas
-  He is not a fan of tomatoes
-  He loves to give and get zerberts
-  He loves to sleep with his butt up in the air
-  He loves the feel of Dad's beard
-  He hates hates hates sombreros

Halloween!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!  

It turns out our neighborhood is a great place to trick or treat so we invited the Riveras over to celebrate the holiday with us.  We had a great time getting and giving out candy all night long.

Camdyn, Reed, and Xavier:

(Xavier is supposed to be Elmo but hated wearing the part of the custom that went on his head)

As an added bonus here are a couple photos from early this morning while Mom was still asleep:

As always, you can see all the photos on my Flickr Account.
