Zanders on the Move! And here come the accident reports...

At home, Zander has been sitting up in his crib. On Wednesday when I picked him up from daycare, Ms. Christine reported he is now standing in his crib! On Thursday morning, we found him standing in his crib at home and we can't keep him down!

Yesterday, after an especially tough day at work, I looked forward to picking up Zander for some cuddle time! I arrived to TWO accident reports! He hadn't had any so far....and although he is a master at standing, he hasn't figured out that he needs to hold on our improve his balance! He stood and let go to fall on toys in two different incidents. I found my little man with a fat lip and a red bump on his head but he was especially cuddly and happy to see Mom.

This morning (very early, by the way, at 2AM) he figured out how to stand by his aquarium and turn on the music in his crib. And today he showed Dad how good he is at crawling! Let the baby proofing began...Zander is on the move!

Zander can pull himself up...something to celebrate or dread?

On Monday September 26th, I took Zander to daycare and he was sent home because his eye was runny...they thought pink eye. Well, this happens to Zander everytime he gets a cold and he has had a few since starting daycare! In the end, dad wasn't too heartbroken as he called in sick and had a dad and Zander day! While dad put Zander on the living room floor and went to send his out of office email, Zander made his way to our new ottoman/coffee table and when dad came back, Zander had pulled himself up and was eating Mom's student's projects! Dad was very surprised and grabbed the camera, yup he can sure pull himself up! The rest of the day, Dad and Zander went for a walk, went to the doctor to find Zander was fine, and just hung out...they had a great day!

Labor Day Fun!

We had a great Labor Day! Too bad they can't all be 3 day weekends! On Saturday, we worked hard to catch up around the house. On Sunday, Zander and I went to the pool to hang out with the family and then went to Krisit's for dinner. We also had our fantasy football draft that night...excited that football time is finally back! On Monday, we went to the Rockies. Although, they are not playoff bound as we had hoped, we still love hanging out there with everyone! And we had dinner at Pasquini's with Vincie and Dennis after the game, my favorite!

US Pro Cycling Challenge...Golden to Denver!

Bryan went with Lou, Miller, and Raina to see the start of the stage for the last day in Golden. Then they came to get Zander and I and we all headed downtown for the finish. We met up with Casey and Rob who found a shady spot on Speer where the riders rode by us many times. The Kerschans, Stu, Allison, and Luis all met up with us there! They did 6 loops and we could see them on both sides of Speer. Overall a great day! Hopefully the Pro Cycling Challenge will be back next year!

Zander's First Day at Daycare

Wednesday, August 24th

Happy Half Birthday Zander!

Well since Zander turns 7 months on Tuesday, I guess it is PAST time to get his 6 month post up! He had his 6 month check up the Friday before I went back to school. He is growing so fast! Zander weighs 20lbs 3 oz (90%), he is 27.5 inches tall (85%), and his head is 48 cm and in the 99.95%. The head size once again caused some concern and Zander had his first ultrasound. All went well and everything looks normal but they wanted to do the ultrasound before his soft spot closed so they didn't have to do an MRI.

My mom had Zander all week during my first week back(a HUGE help) and a couple days for the next three weeks so we can ease into daycare. He loves going to Grandma's and daycare!

Some of his favorites....

He loves his dogs! And since he now is capable of feeding them...they love him too!

We like to go for walks on the weekend and Zander loves the swing!

He loves to sit on the floor and play, his school bus, orange ball, and drums are some of his favorites!

And he loves almost any food you put in front of him! We can't wait for these teeth to finally come in so that he can try some more solids!

Happy 60th Aunt Sharon!

Aunt Sharon came out in August and we celebrated her 60th birthday a little late!
