Xander Week 23 - Growing up so fast!!
February 21, 2007
Xander is now officially 5 months old. It feels like just a few weeks ago we were bringing him home from the hospital. At the same time, those first sleepless nights feel so far away. But when I say “my son is 5 months old” out loud, I’m shocked at how old he is. For the past week or so Xander has begun to sit on his own - froggie style with his hands as support. He can only stay this way for about a minute or so, but it’s a sign of independence - soon he won’t need me or Zach to sit and see things, he’ll be able to do that on his own. I’m excited by this milestone, and also saddened. I suppose this mixture of emotions is something that I will struggle with for a while - happiness and excitement at my son’s development, and sad that each new development will foster more independence - not that I want to encourage a dependent child - independence is something that both Zach and I feel strongly is a good trait to teach our child, but that doesn’t make it any less heart wrenching as Xander grows up.
Hi Sara! I can’t believe Xander is 5 months old either! Wow time flies. This picture is the first time I have seen Zach in Xander’s face. What a cutie.
Hi Sara!
He is so freakin’ adorable!
Miss you guys…

Hi guys
I entirely agree - Xander is adorable. It’s definitely day to day who he looks like more. I can’t wait to see both of you as well - Chloe we’ll hopefully see you in March (no Xander though) and Katie, we’ll definitely have to find some time to get together the next time you’re out this way!
