Big Brother

Orazio has been showing Xavier how to do all sorts of things. Orazio is giving dance lessons, demonstrating the propper way to play with your toys, and how you pay attention to Baby Einstein. Xavier isn't exactly sure why Orazio keeps playing with his stuff.

Beach Day, Part II

I love the beach pictures, so here is another blog entry of the same. Orazio was wanted to go up to the lifeguard tower because it was a much bigger pile of sand to climb. He didn't quite understand why the lifeguard had to keep all that sand to himself.

Beach Day

When Grandma Lorie was here for a mini vacation, we all packed up and headed to the beach. Unfortunately, we only had one day to spend at the beach - and it was a bit COLD. None of this bother Orazio much. He had a great time in the sand. Xavier was also at the beach. He was so bundled in blankets and towel that we never actually got a picture where we could see his face. Next time we will pick a warmer day and have pictures of both kids.

Sleeping Baby

Xavier has had a busy few weeks. He has been a little party machine, but he also knows when to call it quits. Here he is sampling the firmness of a bed during one party. And the other is a picture of X with Grandpa Ralph after a golf outing. Grandpa had fun - even though it was a bit rainy.

Stand Up!

Xavier LOVES to stand. We tried out a new toy this morning and he has had a blast. Standing for an hour and still going strong!

Happy Baby

Xavier is one happy little boy. He loves to laugh and smile. Here he his with his Great-Grandma, laughing up a storm. Xavier also spent the weekend with both sets of Grandparents as we celebrated his Baptism. Xavier also had a little help from Dad as he cut into his cake.

Big Helper

Orazio loves to help Grandpa in the yard. He prefers to dig, but he will build as necessary. He can be seen here helping Grandpa build a tent in the backyard. He is also determined to take all new toys for a test ride. Orazio couldn't wait for Mom to take the new double stroller out for a walk, so he climbed into the storage area to see how the suspension would hold up. After he determined the storage was strong enough for his toys, he claimed the right seat as his own. All this before the stroller was wheeled out the front door.
