Hurry up with that tune up Dad, I'm going to be late to pick up Maggie.

Thanks Poppy!

Hey Mom, just shut the door and I'll knock when I'm ready to come out.

At my friend Emilie's first birthday. My Dad says I'm not as extroverted as my Mom. I think I'll hang out in this little house by myself.

My Birthday Week Has Come to an End

And so Xander's birthday week comes to a close. Xander had quite the exciting week. Lots and lots of cake and lots of presents. Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful gifts.

Xander is developing quite the personality. This is his new look when he wants to play with something or he's not getting his own way. Here is is at Uncle Chad's and Aunt Joanne's obviously being subject to some great injustice by his Mom.

Playing in the yard before my party started on Saturday.

Here are my cakes:

I'm not quite sure if I like them or not.

I think I'll sample a piece and see what all the rage is about

Or perhaps I'll just drop it and practice my favorite word ... UH OOOH!!!

You guys carry on - I'll just read my new book

Kids, kids and more kids

Come on Dad - that Lawn is not going to mow itself

And I'm spent ....

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to ...

You would cry too, if it happened to you ...

Get cake in your eyes, that is.

We can't believe our little boy is 1 year old. Holy cow!!!! It's unbelievable how time flies. Our itsy bitsy baby has turned into a busy, busy little boy. Happy Birthday Xander. It's amazing what a little boy he has turned into. He understands so much these days. He understands simple commands, such as asking him to pass you something. He also understands the word "story" and goes to his basket to get a book when you ask if he wants a story. He will turn the page in the book, when you ask, and sometimes before as he doesn't have much patience. Then again, his Mom has been known to ready the last chapter of a book first.

He also gets very excited for his baths. Absolutely loves being outdoors, and anything with wheels on it.

Don't let the above photo fool you, he was actually having fun before it was taken. We're having a big birthday bash this coming weekend, but we had a small family dinner on Saturday (since my Mom is back to work now :-(). We gave him his birthday gift and every time he comes downstairs he gets excited all over again with his new train table and set. Thanks to everyone for the very nice presents. I especially like my Rusty and the Consruction Crew train from my Uncle Scott and Aunt Krista.

I'll update with more photos after the soiree on the weekend.
