- In April we made a trip out to San Jose to visit Katt, Brett and Oakley. We had such a great time. It is so much fun to see Oakley and Anderson interacting and having a great time. There was a lot of "monkey see monkey do." Here are some pictures from our trip.
- Since it has been such a warm summer, we have been spending lots of time outside and lots of time in the water. Anderson seems to really like the water. Hopefully, we will get him started on swim lessons soon...we have totally dropped the ball.
- Anderson is babbling and talking up a storm these days. We hear a number of words alot. Here are his most popular words: mom, dad, book, ball, dog, banana, more, choo-choo, woof woof, and lots of yes and even more "no's." Here is a video from about 2 months ago when Anderson first started saying banana-it's usually more of a "nana." Now he says it all the time and on his own and usually without as much encouragement from Mike.
- In June, Mike and I went to Corpus for Holly & Jason's wedding and left Anderson behind in Houston. Mike's sister Kate and his mom, Donna, came in town to watch Anderson while we were away. Kate and Heidi stayed in town a few days after we came back. We got to hang out and have fun with them. We went to the Children's Museum, had a picnic at the park and hung out. It was lots of fun!
- We headed up to Indiana in early July to visit Mike's parents and Kate, Gene and Heidi. We had a great trip once we made it to Warsaw. The trip there was less than fun, but it was well worth the trip. Anderson enjoyed the lake and really had a great time getting to see Grandpa Mike and Grandma Sandy. Here is a picture of Anderson driving the boat.
So we've been busy! It's not a good excuse for not updating this more often, but my new resolution is to be better about updating Anderson's blog. My goal is to update at least weekly...we'll see how long that lasts!
