Xavier is now five months old and we continue to be amazed by him. Ray and I are total saps. This is how ridiculous we are - sometimes, after Xav's fallen asleep, we'll go peek on him and whisper to each other how cute he is. Literally I will say to Ray, "I'm going to peek on him, wanna come?" Ha ha! Dork-a-palooza!
Random things about Xav:
1) He's ticklish! He will giggle if you run your finger down his spine or snuffle in his neck.
2) He's particular about where he sleeps. He seems to sleep well only in his crib. He will occasionally fall asleep on the sofa or in the carseat (but will only stay asleep if we keep moving).
3) He has a sense of personal space. Xav will smile at people but if someone gets too close, he will turn his face away. And he does not like to be cuddled if he wants to sleep because he likes to S P R E A D out!
4) Xav is like Ray in how he is generally on the quieter side but when he wants to "talk," he'll talk your ear off.
5) Xavier continues to be a slow-waker. You can tell he's sleep when he won't return your smile and his eyes look like they're at half-mast. When awake, his eyes are very bright and wide.
6) Xavier and I share what I call "potato eyes" - his eyes get very red and swollen when he cries.
7) Xav puts everything in his mouth. He seems to especially like soft and fuzzy things (I don't get this - doesn't it give him cotton mouth?), like his blanket or whatever I'm wearing (he LOVES sucking on my sweater). Strangely enough, he does not enjoy the teething ring we got him.
Here are some of my favorite recent pictures of Xavier...
