Xavier’s 1st Summer….. Well so far!

13Jul09

Mr. Xavier has been a very busy boy. Besides growing like a weed  he has been getting into everything  and anything!! He is not quite crawling yet but working hard on it. He can sorta wiggle backwards and side to side but forward propulsion is lost on him so far!

X man is now eating pretty much all of the fruits and veggies and meats. Starting on breads and “big people” food soon. I attempted to feed him homemade carrots one day and he was quite disgusted with me and them!! I think it’s a texture thing – he loves strained baby food carrots! Oh well… we’ll try them again. In  the meantime he makes alot of funny faces eating the not so strained carrots.  He also loves banana. When we were in Cape Breton Poppy introduced him to the joys of smushing a bite of banana in his mouth. Xavier loves to hold the banana  and tries to get his whole little mouth around it !!

Every little boy needs a swimming pool and Xavier is no exception. He has a “big” mushroom shaped pool that came complete with floaty mushrooms and butterflies!! He got quite the kick of sitting and splashing in his pool. The only bad part is now that he has enjoyed his pool and playing with all the floaties in there, it impossible to get him to lay down in the tub anymore!!

 

Poppa Jim, ever the baby entainer, dug out Daddy’s old 80’s synthesizer and brought it over for X to try out! Xavier loves music and bops around whenever he hears a tune. The keybaord was great fun. It took him a few minutes to figure it all out but once he got started he had a great time pressing all the buttons and making new sounds. Perhaps a great pianist is in our future??

Xavier’s first Canada Day was much fun! We went to downtown Halifax for a pancake breakfast – poor X couldn’t partake this year- then it was off to watch the tattoo parade. Xavier didn’t mind the loud bands and commotion at all. He was too busy taking it all in. X got to have a nice cereal, fruit and milk lunch in the public gardens while he watched all the ducks and birds, which is one of his favourite things to do! After lunch it was off to the Halifax Commons to watch the other kids in the group jump on bouncy castles and run on the playground. He loved being out in the sunshine and taking in all of the sites, but quickly fell asleep on the way home. He was tuckered out!!
