Some Xander Pages!

I finally got my act together and have scrapped some pics of gorgeous little Xander! He was born 6 1/2 weeks early so had to spend 2 weeks under observation in the Special Care Nursery at hospital and we weren't able to visit. It was odd to visit Alicia at home during that time, see that she wasn't pregnant anymore, but there not be the baby around either! It was such a joyous occasion when he was allowed to come home and we could have our first cuddles with him! He was born while Will and I were on our Honeymoon- we were shopping at some factory outlets on the drive between Vegas and LA when I turned on my phone and got this message.. "Well who would have thought a June baby would be an April baby. Yes, you guys have a new nephew! Sorry he couldn't wait until your return but in typical D + A style he has kept us on our toes. He is in special care and will be named shortly. xo" I was gobsmacked! Well, we went straight off to all the baby shops in the outlet centre (Gymboree, Baby Gap, The Children's Place etc) and got him some special little clothes. Cos he was sooooo small cos he was early he's only just grown into one of them! I wanted to do a typical little baby boy page (above) but also wanted to do a more modern page cos Xander is a very modern baby. After all, Alicia is his Mum! I realised I don't have many black and white pages in my stash though (Xander's nursery colours), but I did find this SEI coloured spot on black. It pays to look at the back of double sided papers too, cos it might have what you're looking for! Maybe I should turn all the double sided papers in my stash around to their other side for a while, so I get a fresh look at them!
When David (baby daddy) saw this pic of Xander, he called the pose "Stylin" so I knew that would be a fun title for this page! Isn't the X man just the sweetest little baby!
Hope you've had a good weekend!
