Don't mess with a boy and his cupcake!

I think it's funny how serious Xander looks while eating this chocolate cupcake. He loved it and ate the entire thing, yet he did it with such intensity. Of course 20 minutes from when this picture was snapped, he was zonked out in this car seat. So it's probably a combination of concentration and sleepiness! This photo was taken by a Moms Like Me mom at the MLM sponsored event at JW Tumbles that Xander and I went to on the 25th.

Just Like That!

Sing a song! Sing out loud!

So there are the obvious developmental milestones that you look for as your child grows, you know the ones I'm talking about: rolling over, sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, etc. Then there are the fun ones that catch you a little off guard when they happen, but thrill you more than you can ever know! The first deep belly laugh, clapping, waving bye-bye, saying momma and dada, and my favorite to date--singing. Xander within the last couple of weeks has started singing. It started one day with him "singing" Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. He doesn't say all the words, but you can tell he is singing the song. Today Itsy Bitsy Spider came on and he started singing and doing the motions! Too cute!

Smile!

Some pics to brighten an otherwise dreary day!

Aaah the simple pleasures in life!

Who knew that sharing a bowl of Trix with your little boy could be so sweet (in more ways than one) ? He didn't want the cup of Trix I offered him, he just wanted to sit in my lap and eat mine! Maybe it was the fact that mine had milk?!?!?!? Or maybe he just wanted to be with his mama! Hard to say, but I thoroughly enjoyed sharing my cereal and will always enjoy and cherish the memory.

The Bunny left this in my basket!
