Picnic Lunch

In the last few weeks, the weather here has become wonderful!  It's been sunny and in the 70's.  We took advantage of the great weather with a picnic at the park.  Mike and Anderson picked me up from work, and we headed up to Evergreen park.  Anderson has just recently started to really love the park.  His favorite thing to do is the slide, and eat the sand/rocks (of course!).  He is starting to dig the swing too, but the slide is still his favorite. 

Valentine's Day

This was Anderson's first Valentine's Day!  We went to a little party with our SS class.  There were tons of kids and lots of great food.  Anderson did not quite understand the craft events, but definitely enjoyed playing and running around.

One Small Step for Man...

Anderson is officially walking...a little.  He walks a while and then usually takes a good fall and then goes again.  He falls and falls but keeps getting up and going at it again.  Here is a video of him walking.

Ten Months Old!

On the 16th Anderson was officially a ten month old!  I can not believe that he is already ten months old.  Time has just flown by.  We are just having a great time and look forward to what Anderson has in store for us this year. 

Anderson has started walking a little bit this week.  We are amazed at how fearless and persistent he is!  He has fallen down many times, and each times pulls himself back up and goes at it again.  He is definitely determined to get walking soon.  He is getting bruised a little from all of his accidents, but is still smiling! 

We did have a little bit of excitement this week at school.  Anderson came home from school with his first "incident" report.  At first hearing of it, I was really worried that Anderson had bitten someone.  He is teething a bit right now, and he is biting everything (except people).  So I was worried that he had started biting people.  Instead, he was actually on the receiving end of the bites.  One of the unidentified kids in his class bit him on his chubby cheek and then on his hand.  Anderson's teacher said that he was not happy at all about the biting.  Luckily, it appears to have been a limited incident.  He had a little bruise on his cheek, but otherwise seems very unaffected by it.  He still loves going to school everyday, and we have been really happy with his school and teachers.  It's been a great place for us! 

Desserts!

Anderson clearly has my sweet tooth!  We went to our friend Rhett's birthday party last weekend, and Anderson got his first taste of birthday cake.  Our friend Jeanette's little girl was patiently awaiting bites of cake and eating it off a fork.  Anderson was not so patient and took things into his own hands.  He got cake all over him and a bit in his mouth too!  

Uncle Bubs would be so proud!

Anderson received a number of balls (approximately 350 in a ball bin from Aunt Katie) for Christmas.  He has just recently started to want to throw them and really play, which has been a lot of fun.  In addition to this, he also received a bat and ball set.  The other night when we were giving Anderson a bath, he insisted on bringing his baseball bat into the tub with him.  Uncle Bubs you must be proud!  Also, check him out throwing with his left hand!

On the Move!

Anderson was army crawling for a while and now is officially on the move!  He is all out crawling and starting to walk.  He is pretty fast when he is cruising around.  He has taken lot of little steps at a time, but this weekend he took ten steps at a time.  I think he is very close to be an all out walker!

Since he has started really crawling he has loved playing with his pug brothers.  We think they are still trying to figure out exactly what/who Anderson is.

Here is a video of Anderson "playing" with the pugs.
