Greetings from Sweden

After a long trip we finally arrived in Sweden, can you see the excitement in our faces: No more airplanes! Alexander did great on the flights, we were even able to get him a seat which made the trip much nicer. Both of my boys got a little air sick and the little one stayed sick for a while. We finally figured out that he had a temporary lactose intolerance after a few days of throwing up and he's been great ever since then.

Disneyland Part 2

Helping grandma drive the car


Getting ready for Pirates by being a parrot on uncle Trevor's shoulder

First ride at Disneyland, It's a small world. Xander loved it!

He was so tired he fell asleep during the Roger Rabbit ride, which isn't very soothing.

He loved seeing Tigger and Pooh, Tigger even played Peek-a-boo with Xander.

The red axe was the best part of the steamboat.

Xander with Lightning McQueen, I was on the Soaring Over California ride when this picture was taken.

What's he looking at?

It's Lightning again!

It's tiring to spend a full day at Disneyland

At the pool, which Xander loved

At the beach

This In-n-Out burger is dedicated to my dear husband who was unable to come to California with us.

First Haircut!

Alexander got his first haircut yesterday. Colin's aunt was coming to town for some errands so she stopped by and cut Xander's hair. She did a great job!

He doesn't look like a baby anymore, he's now my little boy and he's a handsome one.

Helmet - No More

As of yesterday, Xander is done with his helmet. The doctor said that's it's not perfect yet but that the helmet has served its purpose and now as he grows, his head will shape even more.

Disneyland Part 1

Me and Xander just came home after spending a week in California with Colin's family. We had a good time, even though we missed daddy a lot. Xander loved meeting the characters at Disney and would point at them with an open mouth as soon as he saw them. Here he is 'kissing' Mickey's nose (he was really trying to eat it but kissing sounds so much better).

Xander loved flying on Dumbo, and so did mommy.

Graduation

Colin's brother Trevor just graduated form high school, way to go Trev!

Grandpa came down from Colorado for the graduation and here he is with his three grandkids!

Oops!

I accidentally left some chocolate in the living room...

Alexander's Room

We finally finished Xander's room about a month ago so here are some pictures!

Xander loves his books!

As long as we don't make him sleep, he loves his crib
