Xander: Weeks 10 and 11

Sorry for the lack of posting. Where does time go!?!

Week 10 was Xander's first trip to Gymboree. We now go on Mondays and Saturdays, and he seems to reallyu enjoy it. It's brightly colored, the teacher has a nice loud voice and there are lots of other babies to stare at lovingly and coo with. Who wouldn't be happy! :) We're taking the Saturday class with Sean and Matthew too, so it's nice to see how everyone has grown each week.

Xander also started music class on Thursdays with Grandma Terri. Music Together seems like a great program but Xander fell asleep right in the middle of his first class. This was totally excused since he is BY FAR the youngest participant (age range is 3 mo to 2 years), but we couldn't help but laugh. Apparently this child can sleep through anything.

Only a few weeks after Christmas, we finally exchanged Christmas presents with Matthew and Sean too. These pics are clearly different than the Halloween ones...everyone is getting so big!

Wonderful new product...the Woombie! This thing is the best swaddle yet because he can not pull an "Incredible Hulk" and bust out of it. So that means no hitting himself in the head and waking up crying. I think it's saving us. That being said, he can bring his hands up to his face higher than in other swaddles and every morning at around 4-5am X starts looking to put something in his mouth. We catch him sucking on his hands though the Woombie in the monitor. This is obviously tough to do, so he gets a bit agitated in his sleep. If I get in there before he's actually awake and stick the popper in then we can sleep til about 6 or 6:30 which is heaven now. Yay!

Momma promises to be better about posting. Especially now that we have the video camera which is AWESOME!
