8 month photo shoot

Back in February we took the liberty of taking some photos of our newly 8 month old, Xander.  Here are some of the precious fruits of that labor...

It was play time in his room, which he loves (for limited amounts of time, at a time)


Oh, that's what my toys and books look like BEFORE I play with them and get them all over the place...


Xander loves his Andy Alligator book, and his Andy Alligator stuffed animal that Mama brought him home from NOLA.


We love this shot - that's our Xander's smile!


Baby on the move!  Watch out Sark!


Xander also loves his orange Sophie - a Sophie La Giraffe toy teether.  He also seems to gravitate towards orange toys, or so we think we've noticed.


Sometimes he'll just drop Sophie (or any toy) on the ground in front of him and freak out because he misses her, then he realizes it's no big deal and just picks her up and starts the process over again.


Xander is crawling around all the time and quickly learned how to go from crawling to sitting so he wouldn't get mad that he was stuck on his belly.  Then it was a short time before he started pulling himself up with things - chairs, short tables, ottomans, etc - and started moving short distances while assisted by these objects.  He'll be walking before we know it!  Oh no...  Needless to say we've done a fair amount of childproofing since crawling began.  Oh, the joys of parenting!
