Favorite Things

I'm sure Oprah's "Favorite Things" are a big more exciting, but Xavier definitely has his lately. It's amazing how attached little ones can become to certain items and activities. I don't want to forget so I thought I'd make a list.

• Big wooden spoons and wire whisks - He loves to chew them, swing them, and carry them around the house.


• Opening and Closing ANYTHING - The "most favorite" include the cabinets, the microwave, the dryer, and the shower doors.


• Bananas and Turkey - Not in the same bite though.


• Clapping - X celebrates just about everything with a clap, and also for no reason at all.


• Being Held - Everywhere except church that is!


• Brushing Teeth - I think he just likes the taste of the baby toothpaste, but he willingly opens his mouth and smiles when I come at him with the brush.


• Mommy and Daddy -- Stranger anxiety and separation anxiety have both set in and X keeps a close tab on us lately.


• His blue and white shoes -the kid has fat feet so shoes have been a challenge but he's got one favorite pair that he loves to wear, chew on, and carry around the house.


• The Binky -- God bless the Binky. It is by far X's most prized possession. We only let him have it when he's going to sleep or if he is super crabby, but I fully believe he'd have that thing plastered to his face all day long if we let him.
