Smiles for everyone!

After many attempts to capture Xander's first big smiles I've got a few cute videos. Forgive the quality.. they were taken on our camera not a camcorder.

Waiting for a smile... Cute ending:




Little Smile with Hiccups:

X meets Grandma & Grandpa

Xander is becoming a lot more alert. He holds eye contact and follows objects - this is when he's not sleeping or crying from tummy pains. It was great to have Mom and Jim. Not only was it great just to visit with them, I also caught up on some sleep and had someone to cook me dinner when Nick was at work. So so wonderful.

Tummy time (which he hates, but it helps him develop his muscles) on his cool new blanket (which he loves) made by Auntie Christine.


First Smiles (not just gas!). Xander loves his morning playtime and is always very happy and cute during this time. I usually let the morning sun shine on his round little cheeks and watch his eyes sparkle.





A trip to York to see cousins Martin, Jane, Rosanna and George (William was at University)






Do we have the same nose?

A trip to Southend-on-Sea to eat fish and chips, throw stones in the sea and gamble. Mom and I won £4!!
Some photos for the album.
