Just a little update!

So I went to the doctor and, as suspected, I am in tip top shape!! After being weighed & measured, and poked & prodded, here's the recap! I am 38.5 inches tall (mommy made them measure me twice--she couldn't believe it), and I weigh 33 lbs and 6 oz. What does that mean? Well I am "off the charts" as far as my height or +99th percentile, and I am in the 95th percentile for weight. The doctor told mommy I was going to be 6 feet 5 inches tall when I am an adult! She also mentioned quarterback football player! I'll keep that in mind!

Not a lot has changed since my last update, but I am speaking many more 3 and even 4 word sentences. My mommy says I am a trip--not sure what she means, but I believe it is a good thing! Speaking of trips, Mommy and I are going to get my Grandpa Jeff from the airport tomorrow and he is going to ride with us up to MN, so we can visit family. I cannot wait!!!

Xander and Landry

So my buddy Landry and I decided that we better get together
to celebrate our 2nd birthdays.
We are only 3 days apart you know.
So we convinced our mom's to bring us to Chick-Fil-A
and then to Baskin Robbins.
Here I am about to open my present from Landry and his family.

Can you believe it?
A rockin' Dora MP3 with book
and a Bearnstein bears DVD!
This is Awesome!!!

Here's my buddy Landry about to open the gift from me and my family!
I won't tell you what we got him,
but let's just say we are going to have some fun down the road.
Oh I can't keep it a secret--
we got him a Build A Bear gift card--he's never been!
I can't wait to bring him there. That is where I got Kitty!

Here Landry and I are checking out the cakes and ice cream in the coolers.

We both decided that we want one of these cakes for our birthdays!
It was a lot of fun hanging with my buddy Landry to celebrate our birthdays
--actually it's always fun hanging out with Landry!!

What's Mommy doin' to me?

So Mommy and I were hanging out last Friday
--cuz Daddy was playing Magic--
and we were having fun with my stacking number cups.
Well then she put the one and two cups on my ears!
I was a little shocked, I wasn't sure I was cool with it, ya know.
Mommy thought it was funny and ran to get the camera!

Mommy was trying to get me to smile,
but I decided to play it cool.

No Mommy, I am not going to play your little game
--I will not smile!

A man has to keep his integrity somehow!
Now, don't tell Mommy but I thought this game was hilarious,
and I am laughing on the inside!
As soon as she put that camera away I smiled and laughed
and shook my head until the cups came off.
Then I had her put them back on like 10 more times!
Good times, good times!
I told Daddy about it on Sunday
and he put the 5 and 6 cups on his ears--pretty funny,
but Mommy wasn't fast enough with the camera for that little gem!!

Loungin' in the pool!

So after a hard day of playing
and napping (me) and mowing (Daddy),
I decided that we needed to cool off in the pool!

Here we are having fun squirting each other
--please note that Daddy has two squirters and I only have one.
You're right that doesn't seem fair.
I'll have to talk to Mommy about that!

Here we are looking cool for the camera!
We had a fun time in the pool,
the water was just right!
We couldn't get Mommy to come in the pool,
but we did splash her pretty good!

Play Cars Daddy!

So lately, I have been super into playing cars,
especially with Daddy--although Mommy likes to also,
but she is not as good at it as Daddy is.

One of my new favorite things to do with my cars
is to race them through the kitchen and living room
in a large circle--I'll call it my race track.
I don't think Daddy likes this game very much though.
Something about his back and knees, but I don't let that stop us!

I love it! Round and round we go!
I get the blue car and Daddy gets the train!

Daddy keeps telling me he needs to rest,
but I just holler "kitchen Daddy!"

See what fun! Maybe I can get Grandpa to
play with me when he comes here!
