Yikes!

Took Xander's temperature for the first time today. For other mom's out there, I'm sure you know how scary this can be. I had to lube up that little thermometer and stick it between those two adorable butt checks of his. But good news!!!! He didn't cry at all and he doesn't have a temp.

2 months old

Xander is officially two months old. He now weighs 14 lbs!!!! He "talks", giggles, and smiles. He did great getting his immunizations. I think he gets more and more beautiful (sorry Xander.... handsome) every day.

I'm thinking of posting this ad....

Nanny looking for work

I am a nanny looking for work in this slow economy. I work for cheap; usually praises and the occassional snack. I am fun loving, clean, smart, furry, and I have experience with children. References upon request. Serious inquires only.

getting so big!!

Xander is 8 weeks old today. His two month Dr appt is on Tuesday and he gets his first round of vaccinations. I have had an internal battle since the day I found out I was pregnant about whether or not I should vaccinate my child. I have read many articles about the advantages and disadvantages of the shots. I have come to the conclusion that if I follow the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics on all other areas of raising my child, why not follow their recommedations on vaccinations. The media has me scared of my child getting Autism but God already has Xander's future planned and if that's what's included then we will endure.

No giggles yet... just lots of smiles

Happy Halloween

For Xander's first Halloween, we went to the pumpkin patch,
tortured him with photos,

dressed in a costume,

and went to Nana's house.
