Watching Daddy finish up raking leaves out the window.

Sunday afternoon we took a drive out to The Reserve Golf Course and had a great lunch out on the deck. It's a beautiful piece of property and Xander loved watching all the birds and airplanes out in the fresh air.

Xander got his jumperoo yesterday! He doesn't really understand he needs to jumo with his legs but he gets that the thing moves when he does. His solution: bob my big giant pumpkin head. He's such a goof ball! When I get video of him bobbing his head I'll post it.

If you are wondering why I've posted 3 times already today, my hubby came home with an early birthday gift, a new apple lap top!!!! It's a ton faster and much cooler than our old one.

Alexander is four months old today! I don't want him to grow up too fast, but I'm so happy we are moving on & up in the world of babyhood! He was an awful grump most of December but is now finally getting a bit better. I don't know if I dare label him as a "colicky baby", but fussy is definitely a word in our daily vocabulary. It seems he is starting to come through the fussy period though, maybe......I don't want to jinx us. He likes the fact he can hold his toys, especially the fact he can bring them to his mouth to chew them. He likes when I sing to him and when his daddy plays peek-a-boo. He is a huge giggler now and it's easier to make him laugh. He has recently discovered his lips and is making all sorts of new raspberry/zerbert sounds. We think he's going to be a silly little boy, not serious like some babies. He is probably well on his way to being a trouble maker too. Anna and I are pretty sure Xander and Elliot will cause quite a bit of trouble together. At least if that happens we can double team them!

He's getting big!

Here he was at 1 month!

I thought he was so big! It's amazing how quickly you forget.

This is sure to make you smile.

Xander and I joined a great momma and baby exercise group today. It's called Stroller Strides. It's a national group that has classes in various cities around the states. I've been trying to get motivated on my own to get back in shape and loose these remaining 20 pounds, but I just don't stick with it. I really hope this group will keep me on track and make me want to get up and go exercise. The instructor is great and she has a little girl who was born the same week as Xander. Everyone was so nice and I felt like I was instantly part of the group. We all have our BOB jogger strollers and race around the mall, dogging all the "mall walkers". The group meets early in the mornings before the mall opens so we don't have to dodge all the customers. When it warms up we get to meet at a park in town and stroll in the sunshine! They also have play dates and mommy night outs. I'm not quite ready for the mommy night outs yet, but I will in time.
Sorry, no pictures from the workout! I was just trying to catch up with all the in-shape mommies! It definitely is not a "stroll" either. Those ladies move! I am going to be SO sore tomorrow.
