Dear Xavier - Seven Months

Dear Xavier,

Sweet, sweet, boy with your dark expressive eyes and melt-your-heart smile. I could just pinch your cheeks and give you a big squeeze and be content forever. Seriously.

This has been a big month for you, not just because you've started rice cereal (and still hate it, by the way), and can roll over both ways (even though you primarily only do it when you are mad and then get even madder when you find yourself in a different position), but mainly because I'm slowly starting to introduce you to the wide, wide world outside of our home and doctors' offices. You have perused the aisles of Costco, Target, and, yes, begrudgingly, even Walmart. I know that we're still in the midst of flu/cold/RSV season, and that is why we don't go out too often (and when we do I run the other way if I hear so much as a sniffle), but sometimes we just need to get out of the house in order to maintain our sanity...and get groceries...and earrings for your sister.

You're also quite the magician. Your newest trick (now that you've fully transitioned to being in your mini-crib unswaddled - yay!) is to wind up asleep 180 degrees from how we set you down so that your head is where your feet used to be. And, despite watching you on the video monitor, we still have no idea how you do it.

All in all, you're doing everything just right. You're growing and developing at the exact pace you should be. Keep up the great work!

I love you.

Love,

Mommy

A chilly winter walk.

Your first snow experience.

Post-bath cuteness.

Poooooooop.

In awe over your first Target experience.

Exhausted after nine straight hours of sleeping through the night.

This was all your sister's doing....

Learning how to use your laptop.

Your sis was happy to see you after her nap.

Eying Lissie's toy.

Enjoying an "ice storm" fort.
