Xavier and his Daddy

Mommy is great when you are hungry, but Daddy has some special skills, especially playing, burping (well, Mommy just thinks it is great when Daddy gets Xavier to burp), and sleeping on his chest.
Daddy and Xavier's favorite games include: strength building (putting toys just out of reach to encourage reaching), wrestling with the blanket (a very closely supervised game), and visually tracking toys.
Mommy favorite is Daddy's ability to put him to sleep when nothing she has done works!

Visits from Family

We've had more visitors in the last week than we have in the last year.
Somehow, I don't think everyone is interested in me and Justin.



Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell are here the most. Sometimes I think that if Grandma Mitchell had her way, Xavier would get smuggled out in her purse.


Aunt Laia and Uncle Marco made a special trip all the way from St. Petersburg.
