In response to repeated complaints from 2 seperate parties, who are of knowledge and wisdom beyond all others in reference to the visual appearance of my son and my most recent posting of pictures:

It's true Xander does have the appearance of old man. I would like to remind everyone that most infants share an incredible number of similarities to the elderly.

If you think about it your first birthday is, in essence, the same as your last. A close family member gathers a large group of people to celebrate. You sit in a chair and stare around the room blankly unable to truly focus on or understand what you see. Eventually there is a cake with a candle or two and every one is very excited and singing. You proceed to fail miserably in an attempt to blow out the these candles. You receive gifts that you don't understand or have any interest in. Then at the end of the party as everyone leaves someone tells you "These are your friends, thank them for coming." Which is good because you have no idea, up to this point, who all these people are.

Basic humanly functions are beyond the realm of your control in both stages of life.

Finally, I feel it is crucial to point out that all babies have very similar appearance to those of extended years by directing your attention to your own baby pictures:

It has been a long while. Halloween, a baby, thanksgiving, back to work, snow, and now lots of water everywhere. We have managed to stay relatively dry though the commute hasn't been much fun lately with all the road closures. Oh! I got my first cavity :(. Not much happening here just caring for the boy and trying to get as much sleep as possible while still making time for the girl. They are both a lot of fun though Xander isn't much more than larva at this stage: eat, poop, sleep (ha we wish), poop, rinse, repeat. Holly is recovering fast and adapting to her much more difficult life. Work is going well we are starting on some more work for non-profits. With any luck we will be able to make a difference for those who need it most.
I wish I could just spend all my time at home but sadly we must eat. Hope things are well with you all!
