Anderson has hit the four month mark!
We just had our 4-month doctor's appointment and here are his stats:
- Weight-17 pounds, 6 ounces==>90%
- Height-26,75 inches==>95%
There is definitely not a "failure to thrive" situation for Anderson. He is growing and developing and just doing great. We continue to be amazed by the new and exciting things he is learning and doing.
Here are the highlights of the month:
- Great Aunt Peggy Babysat! For my birthday, GAP volunteered to babysit Anderson--seriously that is the best gift in the world. She watched Anderson while Mike and I grabbed a great dinner at Perry's. Here she is with Anderson eating his dinner before he goes down for the night.
- Anderson is Beary Cute-We got the cutest bear outfit for Anderson from the babyGap. In choosing the size of the outfit, we did not properly consider his size and the weather in Houston. Needless to say, we had a three month bear outfit, and it was about 95 degrees in Houston. So we just put him in the outfit for the photo opportunity and promptly put the outfit in the give away pile.
- Anderson went swimming! We finally took Anderson for his first swim. We went over to Peggy & Joe's and took a dip. We had a crab float for Anderson so he was fully shaded. To our surprise, he seemed to really like the water. No screaming or crying at all! Here are some pics and a video of the big event.
- Anderson has started kissing...sort of We call it a kiss, but others may not. It's more of a suction cup on the face, but it sure is cute.
- Pimp My Ride! Huntwick had a killer Fourth of July which included a kid parade. For the parade, Anderson decked out his stroller with patriotic streamers and flags. We missed being in the heart of the parade, but this year we carried the rear and walked behind the police cars. It was incredibly warm and the parade started at noon--not the best time of day--so we only stayed at the clubhouse for a little while, but it was fun!
- Anderson's Baptism-On July 14th, Anderson was baptized at John Wesley UMC. Pam Jackson did the baptism and is was a very special day for us. Anderson's god parents are our great friends, Stacia & Jason Fontenot. Here we are celebrating the baptism at Clementine's after the service.
