Hi all!
Xander turns 11 months today. As I think about his life with us so far, I can't help but have gratitude for everyone here and all your support over the last year. He's crawling, pulling to stand up, passing a ball back and forth, jamming in his own way on my bass (the Modulus, it's indestructible), babbling away with some objects having clearly repeated words, he's said his own name, he dances when he hears music, loves being outside, has a great appetite for curry, garlic and other flavorful foods and is smiling and laughing most of the day. He's definitely one of the most joyous people I've ever spent time with. He's curious, compassionate and very affectionate.
Thanks for being one the best communities I know.
Oh, yes, for those of you with an iPhone, in celebration of his awesomeness, I've uploaded Xandertone, a ringtone that can be found in iTunes on your phone (for some reason it doesn't show up in the main iTunes). I smile every time I get a phone call.
