TV!

Xander LOVES to push buttons ... especially on the TV. Which was fine until he discovered the power button. And then changed all the settings. And then laughed and laughed. Maniacally.

GAAARGH! MUST DESTROY TOKYO!

Really, this picture speaks for itself. Xander is on his way to destroy Tokyo. With his beloved Kitty safely in his mouth.

Calmer.

Until his rage subsides, and he transforms back into BabyMan. And wants to tell us all about Kitty. (He is talking to us here, thus the funny face.)

The Face

I put this one up just to share what Karen and I like to call "The Face". This appears when Xander is unhappy - here, he has fallen and hit his head. The Face appears and he is totally silent, just holding this face, for about thirty seconds. This gives you time to hunt up the ear plugs. You will shortly need them.

Sunken Gardens

Xander prepares to tour Sunken Gardens in Florida.

Sunken Gardens II

He got tired of being pushed, so he got out and helped Daddy push the stroller around.

Sunken Gardens III

Really, this picture speaks for itself. If you read the subtext, though, you will see Tokyo is clearly still doomed.

Sunken Gardens IV

Tokyo has been suitably warned. We resume pushing the stroller.

Grandma!

Xander decides to win over his grandma.

Grandma II

Xander continues "working it".

Abby Road

Next stop, the recording studio. This was at the St. Petersburg Pier. Xander had to explore the entire thing.

Preggers!

Karen carying Xander and looking particularly pregnant (she's due in five months!)

Mom!

Xander has finished working it and his grandma now delivers the fruits of his efforts - a bottle! He's down to one a day, but he really likes that one. He is fifteen months old, so he won't be getting it much longer ...

HEY!

And it's empty! NOOOOOOO!

Must ... get .... more ...

If he REALLY works the bottle, maybe some more milk will come out. Xander really starts putting in some effort.

Uncle Mitch!

And just to make sure ... here's Xan working it with Uncle Mitch. He was kinda shy the whole trip, but right when we were getting ready to go he suddenly warmed up to Uncle Mitch.

Rocky, the Prequel.

I don't know what to say. Karen just showed me these next few pictures. I have no idea why Xander was dressed like this or what he was doing. I can only surmise he was trying to get cast in a Rocky movie.

Oh yeah!

Man, brushing teeth is FUN! Unless Mom or Dad is doing it and trying to clean his teeth. Then it's pure torture and must be accompanied by screaming. And possiby The Face.

I got nothing.

Seriously. What can one say about this picture? Yet it must be shared.

Naptime

Sleeping babies rule. Kitty, you will note, is snuggled in really tight. He is very fond of Kitty - he knows three words so far, Mama, Dada, and Kitty.

Naptime again

Another angle so that you may properly enjoy the cuteness.
