Potty time!
A couple weeks ago, we bought Xavier his very own potty. He was interested immediately. Unfortunately, he was interested in wearing it as a hat and not pottying in it :)
Well, we have recently had a breakthrough! He has peed in it twice now! We are so proud of him and will continue to work on this skill. We still have a long way to go but it is exciting that he is working on this milestone :)

No More Titi!
Well, I already wrote about our second bout with HFMD. And it was just as awful as I described. But luckily this time some good came from it!
While Xavier was experiencing pain in his mouth, he refused to take his titi (spanish for pacifier). After he got over the hump and started eating again, we offered it to him a couple times but he wasn't interested. We are pretty sure that in his little mind, the titi is what caused his pain. Now he won't go anywhere near it! It is so bizarre because his titi was his favorite thing in the whole world!!!
So, it has been three weeks and no pacifier and we aren't complaining! It was WAY easier than we ever thought it would be. We were planning to take it this summer when I am at home with him and were dreading even the thought of it!
It makes me a little sad because this is just another reminder that he is getting older and isn't my little baby anymore. It ended up being a perfect way to get rid of it though, so I guess I should be thankful :)

NOT AGAIN!!!!!!
Well you may all remember last spring when Xavier contracted Hand Foot Mouth Disease. I know Bryan does because he happened to be in town while it happened. You can read about it here. It was awful. It is basically when a baby gets canker sores all over their mouth, feet and hands and it is very painful.
Well, Xavier got it again. And it was awful again. Luckily, he just gets it in his mouth so no feet or hand sores. We slept very little for 5 nights and he wouldn't eat or drink anything for just as long. He screamed and cried and was miserable. It was awful to watch.
Luckily, we are over it and healthy now but I wouldn't wish HFMD on ANYONE!
Here's to hoping he doesn't get it again!

Daddy's Gift to Mama
Well, I mentioned that Beanie got quite the surprise for Valentine's day but I failed to mention that I got one too! After a wonderful candle lit dinner with my hubby, he game me the most beautiful piece of jewelry I have owned to date :)
It is an Oragami Owl necklace, which is also called a "My Journey Necklace." Basically it is a locket full of precious charms. It speaks for itself :)
It has both of the babies' birthstones, initials, baby buggies, the word "Mom", a "D" for Dust, a heart and a wedding ring. And of course, Penelope's angel wings are dangling. It is perfect.
Thanks Dust :) I love you!

Beanie's First School Work!
While we were/are devestated to leave Miss Susie behind, there are some perks to Xavier's new "school."
He brings home lots of cute art projects!!!!!
We of course put them proudly on the fridge and every time he walks by he "explains" to us what they are :)
He is such a blessing.

Valentine's Day Surprise
This year, Xavier got a surprise from Mimi and Papa for Valentine's day! Normally they send an obnoxiously huge box full of goodies. This year, however, I got a call from my mom that said to pick up his gift at our local Toys'r'us...
I knew instantly we were in for it. I was right.
They bought Xavier a kitchen! Now don't get me wrong, it's a great gift and he loves it! But his playroom is already full so guess where it ended up...

MINE!
Well, it has happened. Xavier has discovered the word "MINE!" and I put it in all caps with an exclamation mark because that is the only way he knows how to say it.
It's a good thing he is cute :)

Silly Beanie :)
Here are a quick couple of videos of my silly little man. The air mattress one was taken in our old home and I forgot to post it!
