Xander's Christening

Hi Y'all!
Well, I've been a little slack on the posting again, so here is a catch up for you!
Last Sunday was Xander's Christening. Oh he is just the sweetest, cutest little golden child (everyone tells me babies aren't usually as happy, well behaved, easy to feed and a good sleeper as Xander is! But I'm not believing them, cos I'd like one just like him!) He was so well behaved during the Christening service, he didn't cry when he got doused, but then he loves his swimming lessons so water is nothing new for him!
Alicia has decorated his nursery in Black and White and so what better cake to have than a black and white iced red-velvet cake. Oh it was SO GOOD! Really moist and heavy inside with the delicious chocolatey taste. Co-incidently the cake maker was Xander's midwife, and also the same lady who made Will and my wedding cake! Nothing like keeping it in the family :) Isn't it a cool cake! The big X on the top is a silver decor letter he has in his bedroom (not edible! {giggles}) cos Alicia didn't want sugared booties or a baby on top! She's such a modern gal {wink!} I didn't get to try the cake on the day cos I had filled up on some delicious Italian treats David bought, like Chocolate Canoli and Lemon tarts! Oh they were sooooo good. And David had made his famous Lamb cutlets (with their secret marinade) which were delish. (Wow, lots of food talk, maybe it's time for a snack here at home!)
Isn't Xander so cute in his "little man" button-up shirt! He has grown so much in the month since we've been back from Hawaii too, his legs seemed to have doubled in length! And he looks so much like David, except for his blue eyes which he got from Mummy! His hair is getting so long that it doesn't sit in his cupie curl so much anymore :( He's growing so fast! But he's such a good little guy. Congratulations Alicia and David and Happy Christening Xander!
:) C
