Where have you been?

We are back from Indianapolis– sorry for the lack of posting the past few months. Let’s get right to Zander updates, huh?!

Zander is hitting the milestones, I think each week he has a new trick!
• He has three teeth on the bottom.
• He is crawling backwards, just hasn’t figured out going forward. He really tries to stand on his own but if he grabs on to our hands he can pull himself up. He has this music table and he can stand on his own for a couple of minutes.
• He is a pro at eating table food, forget the baby food now. We haven’t found anything he doesn’t like. Guess what his favorite is – yep, chocolate. I know he is suppose to eat chocolate yet, but when have we followed any rules!
• He knows “how big are you?” then he lifts his arms. (Thanks to Grandma Bonnie, she taught him that over the weekend while we were at the Big Ten Tournament.
• He is talking a ton. He even talks when we put him down for bed. We think he is saying “Ma and Da” but that might just be our minds.
• He loves taking walks thanks to the nice weather and he loves swinging in the swing at daycare.
• Last night (Tuesday night) he made his NCAA basketball picks. I wrote the teams on a little piece of paper and put the two teams in front of him, then whichever piece he picked up was the winner of the game. So his championship game is between Georgetown and Wake Forest. Tony’s picks are Kansas State and West Virginia, mine(Kacey) are Syracuse and Duke. I had to pick Duke to keep my Mom happy!

Our vacation to Mexico a few months ago was fantastic! We were upgraded to a new resort and we were treated like celebrities. It was amazing and now I know why celebs are high maintenance - by Day 6 we were asking for everything.


I have downloaded a bunch of pictures – our vacation, Big Ten tournament and some of Mr. Zander.

I am done with school in a few weeks so I will not be able to post until then since I have finals and papers to complete. Once this semester is over I should be able to post at least once a week, especially when Zander hit his milestones.

We go to the doctor on Wednesday so I will send a quick update on his weight/height, etc.

We booked a trip to Portland to see Kurt (my bro) and Kalli (my sister) the end of April, and yes we are taking Zander. His first flight!
