Zander's First Trip to the Beach

We took Zander to Bethune Beach the last Sunday in April, his first time to see the ocean. Our church had a beach baptism there, over 81 people were baptized as a result of deciding to follow Jesus. There were about 1,000 people that showed up to support those going into the water, so Zander spent time with a bunch of different friends. Evan and I were baptized almost three years ago to the day at the same beach. Of course, I forgot my camera, so I had to settle for these few pictures taken from my cell phone.

The Conclusion of a busy week!

This past week was a full one. Zander and I cooked over 100 servings of baby food and put them in the freezer for easy access. Sweet Potatoes, Acorn Squash, Butternut Squash, Spaghetti Squash, Mango and Peaches are the next foods he will try out. In addition, he has already been eating bananas in the morning. Sometimes with oatmeal, sometimes plain. He's been eating food two times a day now, about 1 Tablespoon per meal. We have his six month appointment coming up at the end of this month. I can't believe it. Time is flying. And a tooth appears to be about to break the surface. I'll try to post pictures when it's official. He loves when I read to him from his children's bible and he enjoys him some Postman Pat. Postman, Postman Pat, can you guess what's in his bag? If you don't have Qubo, you have no idea what I'm talking about. He was in the nursery at church the first time this weekend. He did pretty good...lasted about 45 minutes before we heard him crying and Evan went to get him. (We sat by the door close to the nursery:) It probably pained us more than him. We've been to visit friends this week, to the vegetable stand, to vacum out the car, on walks and he's enjoyed plenty of playtime.

Watching the NBA Playoffs with Dad

Zander enjoyed the nail biting experience of watching one of the NBA playoff games on tv with his dad this past weekend. (Mavericks vs. Heat in case you were wondering)



He also had a little play time and verbalized his opinion during the commercials.

I'm in the Band!

Give a maraca to Zander and he'll show you how to shake it!

Let's Walk!

Align CenterWe take Zander for a walk around the neighborhood every night after dinner....part of the wind down process to get ready for bed. This picture is of him looking up at the trees on a recent walk. I've also included a short video clip of him gearing up to walk around the block.

Y Not?

It's drool, but I figured "Y Not" post it? I'm not sure many kids can drool in the form of the letter "Y" - as in mom, why are you making me do tummy time and lift my head so high up? Such talent!

Bouncing Around

Zander has really been pushing off on his feet the last several weeks. We have a jumperoo that hangs from the doorway, but I hesitate to use it when Evan isn't home, because it's a little complicated to put him in. A week or so ago, Evan came home with an Exersaucer. He loves it. His latest joy is laughing at Roxie and Ramone and yelling at them while he bounces up and down in it. He's a little ball of energy - this video gives you just a glimmer.
