In his thirty-fourth week, Xander is: pulling up to standing; doing his own versions of the signs for “drink” and “milk” (and getting really excited when he realizes we understand); figuring out how to drink from his sippy cup (and smiling and laughing when he successfully takes a drink); giving the most precious hugs in the world when it’s been a little while since he’s seen you; sleeping through the night for the first time (the 7:30 pm to 6:30 am kind…yes!!!); pointing with his index finger to push buttons, tug on your lip while he’s drinking his bottle, and investigate toys (and totally reminding me of ET); and keeping such a steady beat with his leg when he’s happy that I think we might have a little drummer boy on our hands (for real…we were at a picking at the Wingates’ house and he was banging a toy on the floor in perfect time to the music and even kicked into the back beat for a little bit).
