Ok who stole the last 7 months???
My littliest bubba is 7 months old today. I honestly can not comprehend how the time could go so quickly.
He is such a beautiful little boy and we are all so in love with him.
I thought I would just give a little bit of an update on what his up to at the moment.
Xavier is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up. He has a mad addiction to cords, remotes and the TV. He seems to go super fast if he sees any of these, and tries so hard to get there before Mummy. He still has trouble getting back down once he has pulled himself up. At the moment he is going for the "just let go and see what happens" approach. Sometimes it works and he just falls on to his hands but more often than not it ends in tears. He is often tumbling from the Tv cabinet or Grace's little table. He can also get himself from crawling to sitting, so clever!
He loves tags, labels, catalogues and handbags. Well the handbags he mainly sucks on the straps, but oh so cute when my little boy is playing with a bright pink handbag with "princess" printed on it! He also loves playing matchbox cars with Grace. He's a real boy and loves taking one in each hand and smashing them together, so no way will he be borrowing the family car!
Grace is also one of Xavier favourite toys! She always manages to get him either belly laughing.....or crying. See my little boy is a bit of an "easy target" or as his Dad would say "big girls blouse" He frightens so easily. He gets so engrossed in things and if he is startled the bottom lip drops and it's all tears. Grace does a crocodile thing with her hands and snaps at him with her hands, sometimes he loves it and sometimes it all too scary for my little man.
He is still enjoying his boobie about 4-5 times per day. Only quick feeds but we both enjoy the quiet time together. Xavier has also taken to soilds just as keenly as his big sister. He went straight to finger foods and lumps, none of this baby mush for him! His menu at the moment consists of peaches, bananas, nectarines, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin,brocoll, rice, rolled oats, cruskits, wholemeal bread, carrots, natural yoghurt and zucchini. It all sounds a little bland but he loves it! He's a funny little eater though. After he has a spoonfull he pops either his thumb or toes into his mouth..makes for alot of mess!
Xavier is a great little sleeper. We just pop him into bed, on his tummy with his dummy and he goes off to sleep. Sometimes he has a little sing and I have to give him a pat, but 80% of the time he goes straight to sleep. He is a good sleeper overnight, well not really at the moment because of his cold. The kids have a bath at 5pm, Xavier has boobie at 5.30pm and then plays until 6pm and then into bed. He sometimes stirs overnight, but goes back to sleep by himself. We have a little rule, if he wakes after 4am he gets to come into bed with Mummy for milk and a sleep in our bed. It works well and I love the cuddles. He sleeps until about 5.30am then has his first sleep at about 7.30am, usually for about 1 hour. His next sleep is when Grace goes to bed, so about 11am. This one is Mummy's favourite, both kids sleep for about 1hour 2omins. They both wake at exactly the same time from this sleep. It's not like they wake each other up, cause When Grace wakes she just comes out to me and doesn't make a noise. And when Xavier wakes he usually just sings to himself.
Xavier has said Mum a few times, nothing else that we can make out though! He mainly just blows rasperries and chats in his own little language.
He has two cute little teeth down the bottom and the point of a top one. Lets hope the top ones hurry up, I think they are a bit painful for him at the moment!
Well thats a snapshot into the life of my little son.
Xavier, we all love you so much. You have bought so much into our little family and we have all just fallen head over heals for you.

Your not the only one, we are in love with your little man too! He is such a smiley, happy little baby and he really has been a joy since he was born all those 7's ago. Kirsten, you are doing such a fabulous job of motherhood, as with most things in our lives, you lead the way beautifully (at least this time your not leading me astray like in the good old days!) You and Duane are raising two comfortable, secure, energetic, happy and gorgeous souls. They struck it lucky having you for a mother and forever being protected and nurtured in your love. My only regret is that you didn't start early enough because you would of made a great "shazza" teen mum and you could of given birth 15 times by now!! ( somehow I just flashed to that picture of us near my front door in the flannies!)
Love Nic
