I AM BABY!

There is still some concern over Xavier's weight, as he is still in the zero-ith percentile. (If you took 100 random babies of the same age, they would all be heavier then he is.) He's doing well in height and head size, which is good. We currently have two blood tests out to see if we can't narrow down the cause. He'll also getting some physical therapy to see if we can get him to eat solid foods. I'll keep everyone posted on any new developments.

There are a few things I'll be posting as soon as I have a moment, which will hopefully be soon. I have a haircut video to put up, our wedding video, more Xavier pictures (including his Halloween costume!), and more! Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to get it done.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Its hard to get 5 minutes on the computer without a tiny human trying to climb into your lap to "help" type. Anyway, on with the updates!

Xavier took his first steps today! He took three full, freestanding steps before grabbing on to daddy. IT was extremely cute, hands up in the air, big grin on his face, and of course quite wobbly. We'll get the camcorder out next time!

Xavier continues to be a happy baby, gleefully getting into whatever mischif he can. He also is fasinated by cooking. He loves to watch things bubble and sizzle, even helping to stir from time to timej He's still not walkinw yet, but he's taken a couple tenitive steps. Mainly by accident, but still.

Like every baby ever born, you simply MUST have a picture of them in the bath will a bubble beard. Xavier's is a classy pointed goatee. He loves to splash around, getting mommy and daddy wet. He's also quite smart, and knows if he pulls the plug the water will go away, and if he puts it back it stops.

Sorry its been so long between updates. Chasing an infant around is a full time job. In addition to my other full time job. I've uploaded all the pictures I have of him to Picasa, an online gallery powered by Google. Simply follow the link at the top of the page, or over on the menu to the left to see hundreds of pictures so cute it will make your day.

Xavier's first tooth pushed through his gums last weekend! I first noticed it on Saturday, Jan 26th. Its his bottom left center tooth. Time to start brushing!

Xavier had his first crack at the keyboard tonight, and here are the fruits of his labors:
