Whoops - never got these posted

Going through pictures on the computer recently, I realized I never got Xander's 9 mo pictures posted.  These were taken back in December before Christmas.  Soon he'll have his 1 year pictures taken.

We had a difficult time at this photo sitting.  Xander was just at that age that he recognized when new people were around.  He was unwilling to smile every time April (the photographer) lifted the camera.  Then, as soon as she would put it down, he'd burst into a grin.  Little stinker!  So needless to say, many photos are smile-free.  It also proved more difficult because Xander was more mobile at this point.  He'd gotten the hang of crawling and he did not want to sit still...he wanted to MOVE!  Every time a shot was lined up, he'd start crawling away.  It'll be interesting to see what happens the next time he gets his picture taken.
