Xavier is just over 14 months old now and full of it! He loves to play and has really enjoyed the nice weather because we've been spending lots of time at the park where he is learning to climb the equipment and go down the slide. His more recent words include "brr" (bird, or any animal really :-), "schox" (socks), and "dat" (as he points at what he wants). He understands much more of course, and we make a nightly game of filling the bath, then I tell him to go to his room to get undressed, so he runs to his room. Once naked I tell him it's time for his bath and he runs back to the bath tub in all his naked glory. He's as sweet and cuddly as ever, especially when tired or not feeling well. We've been taking him to the kids club at the gym and he does pretty well (some days are hard to drop him off) and whenever we come to pick him up he's usually wandering around the play room by himself, often spinning or clapping his hands, off in his own little world. He has a total of 11 teeth now, and the last 1 year old molar is almost through. He's been eating great lately, and loves daddy's home-made spaghetti. He drinks milk out of a regular cup or uses a straw which daddy helped him master. He loves his family and all the attention he gets from his cousins, uncles, aunties and grandparents. We've been weaning him off being rocked to sleep and he's doing well with that. Today for his nap after being laid down to sleep and kissed by mommy he put himself to sleep within a few minutes. What a big boy he's becoming! I can't believe how much he's grown and changed, he has so much personality and is such a blessing. We can't wait for more warm weather and all the adventures to be had this summer. Hope all is well in your lives!
