Super-duper great times with my cousin Evi (once she warmed up to me :)!!

Beaches and sunsets in S. Carolina (I like the taste of sand)

Special times with the family ~

Going to South Carolina to See Grandpa and Meme!

On Valentines' Day we got up early and made our way to South Carolina to visit with Grandpa, Meme, Jenny, Linda and Evi for the long weekend. It was special to have so much quality time with everyone. We played, explored, took walks, went to the beach, took a lot of naps and just had fun. More details in other entries. Here is a shot of me on Dad's shoulders as we rushed to a connecting flight :)

Yep - that is me. 20 pounds!

Linda and Evi arrive for a quick visit en route to South Carolina

Yoga Class with Miles

On February 9th I attended a special yoga workshop led by Miles. Here are a couple of shots of me in the front row.

getting pretty good at this crawling thing :)

It is a new me...

So, my parents were commenting tonight that I seem to be getting a lot smarter... really, really fast. Well, with that came a comment that I may have grown out of the pastel dot theme here - so, here goes. I am almost eight months old and I get a new theme, yo. Dark dots. It is the new me. I like it. Love, Xander

First trip in a shopping cart. I am SO cool.

Playing with my cool musical toy from Mimi - thank you!!

goofing around in my crib...

You think I am napping, but I'm not! Ha!!

So, instead of sitting sadly by the window, we went to an indoor playground! Fun!

Sadly, it has been raining here in San Francisco. All day :(

goofing around at home... and more fun with mirror games!

With my disco duckie (thanks, Erica!!)

one with Mom (eeeaaarly in the morning!) and one with Dad... and one of me crawling!

Mango Madness!

I am having a lot of fun exploring new foods... like this big piece of dried mango that ended up very, very messy :)

Bird watching with Dad (ok, just one bird...)

With our dear friend Chris :)

A Special Visit with Uncle Kuran!!

On Saturday Papa Reed and Uncle Kuran came for a visit... so fun to see them!

Home playing with all of my new Christmas toys... thank you everybody!

Happy New Year!

We celebrated in San Diego while at a retreat with several other friends and children. It was a beautiful time with lots of fresh air, new faces, long naps, story telling and exploration. Lots of love to all! We are looking forward to lots of firsts in the New Year. Love, Xander.
