oh no!
and then...
fast asleep!
Well, week 6 brought with it a lot of changes. For one, I'm back at work and my mom is watching Xander everyday Tuesday - Friday. I miss him so much during the day, but my mom has been wonderful by sending me pics via email and taking such good care of our lil' guy. I think he's perfectly happy. In fact as I was getting ready to leave the first day, X first seemed uninterested and then fell asleep before I could even walk out the door! ha ha! Grandma must be spoiling him!
Bye mom!
So, we discovered a talent of Xander's this week. He can fall asleep "standing up" or rather being held up. After countless attempts to settle him for at least an hour the other night, this is how he finally went out:
If you haven't seen Oscar around Xander then it's hard to appreciate how much he truly loves the little guy and "protects" him. Oscar follows his little bro around most of the time and stands guard. Thankfully, he is not aggressively protective although we've had one incidence of humping in an attempt to show dominance over the person holding Xander (sorry, John!). Anyway, Oscar can be found anywhere X is...
Case in point, the play mat. Xander gets his daily play time and tummy (or "turtle" as my mom calls it) time on his mat each day, and Oscar stands guard so no one disturbs this play.
A few close-ups of play time just because I can't resist:
And during bath time, have no fear because big brother is always there...
to make sure that daddy is keeping Xander warm...
and washing behind Xander's ears...
And when the bath is done and it's meal time, Oscar makes sure that no one disturbs Xander's meal so that he grows up to be a strong, healthy little boy. :)
Xander's 6 week birthday is also the 1st day of snowfall in DC for 2009. We were in Annapolis in the morning for a change of command. This year, the goal was just to keep Xander warm. Next year, we will not only be keeping him warm but hoping there is enough to make snow angels, as well.
One last pic of Xander and mommy, just because (all the other pics totally have daddy in them!).
