Xavier's Personality

Some babies are born to sit quietly on the sidelines, observe their surroundings, and take everything in.  Not Xavier.  He is loud, loves to be the center of attention, and finds no one a stranger.  He has a warm sense of humor and finds amusement from the simplest things, like balancing a toy ring on his finger.  At Steve's best friend's wedding, Xavier met/was held by at least 5 different people, and he found all of them interesting, especially the feel of their lips (and tongues!) on his fingertips.  He will play his game of laughing while shaking his head "no, no, no" with anyone who tries to tell him "no."  He is warm, friendly, and per the girls at daycare, the most fun (we all know this means their favorite!).  Here's a post dedicated to the many facets of Xavier's personality, from the itty-bitty baby days up through today!

He's wise:  "You see, since I can't talk, we get to play a game over the next year or so where I won't tell you exactly what I want, but I'll make your life rough until you guess."

He's bold:  "Hahahaha, you thought taking care of a tiny person was going to be easy!"

He's thoughtful:  "Hmmm, pondering how many times I want you to get up tonight to hold me and rock me back to sleep."

He's ornery:  "Here's what I think of you and your request to show you my biggest smile."

He's loving:  "Watching Law & Order with Dad - a favorite past-time."

He's playful:  "YAAAASSSSS, look what I've got."

He's studious:  "Gotta study up for daycare finals."

He's innocent:  "Whatever it is, I didn't do it."

He's energetic:  "Eeeee, AAhhhhhh, EEEEEEeeeeee...!"

He's photogenic:  Showing his best mean model face.

He's amiable:  "This is my best buddie, Chase.  When the teachers aren't looking, we team up and climb into the infant swing."
