Note from Mama

Xavier, oh Xavier...!  Xavier has been very busy lately discovering his new abilities.  
He's really good at grabbing things, like my hair, and bringing them to his mouth.  Like a true gourmand, he has yet to reject anything that he's stuck in there.  He sees clearly and far and will track me from across the room.  He likes to blow bubbles with his drool (a frat boy already).  He continues to suck on his hands, tongue, or own lips.  Sometimes he smacks so loudly, it wakes me up!  

He also finds just about everything funny these days and laughs like a hyena, although I think his laughter is sparked more by my expression than what we're actually doing.  I tested him the other day to see:

Mama (dancing a jig but with no facial expression):  "Xavier, look, Mommy's doing a leprechaun dance"
Xavier (no expression):  no comment

Mama (dancing same jig but making googly eyes):  "Xavier, look."
Xavier:  huh huh huh!  eeee!   (this is his "you are HEE-LAR-IOUS laugh)
