Xander is a 1 Year Old!

At his one -year-old checkup, Xander broke the trend, and fell out of the 90th percentile.  He is 30.25  inches long (50th%ile), 24 lbs 3 oz (75th %ile), and has a 48 cm head (still 90th %ile).

Xander can stand up on his own for a few seconds at a time, but still hasn't taken any official steps.  He has 6 signs: pick me up, more, food, all done, hi and milk.  He has 12 "words": Mama, Dada, Otto, Blitz, dog, Milk, Ball (his favorite word), Block, Jack, this, banana, and "roar"  Xander has 9 theeth, with the 10th on it's way.

We finally finished his photobook chronicling his first year, and that one of the big reasons we haven't updated the blog here in awhile.  Most of the photos came from the blog, but there were a few new ones, and each of the grandparents recieved a photobook for their own.  It was a lot of work to make it, but a lot of fun too, and I know I'll spend hours and hours looking through it, remembering all the wonderful days we've had.  It is so hard to belive that it has been a year- an so much has changed!

Here are Xander's 1-Year-Old Portraits for you to enjoy, as we have!
