Xander update

At his six-month checkup (well, really, almost 7 month checkup at this point), the babeleh weighs in at 18.3 lbs and 29 inches. He's right on target for all his developmental milestones, too: he babbles, squeals, rolls over to both sides, pushes up on his forearms and pulls himself along, and can sit without support for 5-7 minutes. He also likes to play with toys and rattles, grasps objects with his thumb and forefinger, and we're pretty sure that he's starting to recognize his name. The coolest thing we found out in California is that he LOVES music: he was mezmerized by Marleena playing the piano, and adored it when Annie played her guitar for him. My mom got him a little kid-sized tambourine, and he's been having a ball banging on it every chance he can get.

That's about it on the baby front...

He is just a wonder that boy of yours. Growing, healthy and full of smiles. And what a good natured little person. He's so lucky to have you both as parents. He enchanted everyone here in Long Beach. Can't wait for pictures and videos.
Love you all,
Mom
