Cookie Monster!

Xander has many nicknames, and we're sure that over the course of his life he will have many more.  Before he was born he was a strong kicker, but he would get especially active when his Mama would eat one of her favorite foods... chocolate chip cookies!  Thus, he was called Cookie Monster!

On Thanksgiving night, we broke out his Cookie Monster towel for the first time... it's still a little too big for him, but it gets the job done.  Plus it makes him look extra cute in the process!

What's that on your dome?

Mama said to Dada, "Can you throw me that burp cloth?" So Dada obliged.

Somehow the cloth wrapped around Xander's dome just so, and Mama finished off the look with a gentle wrap around the crown... the camera seems to have caught the little guy a bit off guard... but the look is still pretty cute.

November visit to Yelm

Mama took Xander down to Yelm for a visit with Grandma and Grandpa Brelsford.

Grandpa had to go to work but had some time to bond with the little man first.

Mama and Xander spent the rest of the day into the evening with Grandma.

Mama and Grandma took Xander and ran some errands together.  It's always nice to have that extra time to spend together.  Looking forward to our next visit!

Born to be WILD!

Like a true nature child, he was born, born to be wild... 

What's a mohawk?  Oh.  What's a faux-hawk?  Oh!

 I like it!  I REALLY like it!

 And so does Dada!

Thanks for making my faux-hawk, Mama!

Halloween Revisited...

Mama took some pre-halloween photos in the event Xander had a major growth spurt and outgrew his costume in time for Halloween, so those are the photos you've already seen.  On the actual day, we took a few more too.  Enjoy!

Hi, Everybody!  I love my Dada!

It's a Mute in a bag... a Mute in a bag yay yay...

She is wise enough to know when a gift needs givin', and she's got just the one...

Anthony was pretty excited to get his new Husky backpack - just the right size to bring all the important things to those Husky games...  And just like a kid going back to school, Anthony didn't want to leave home without his favorite fuzzy little girl...

After some fun in the bag, it was time for some freedom...  Mute didn't mind the little excursion, but she's happy that we left her at home, it was hella cold at the game!  She's so cute with her diva-serious face...
