175 Days Old…November 29, 2011

Isn’t our little guy so handsome! As I’m typing this he’s sitting right here beside me talking away with his sweet little sounds. I love it! Anderson has been doing great lately. He’s enjoying squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches, carrots, apples and pears now. His favorite is still squash. It’s so hard to believe that he’s pushing 6 months old. I would love to slow time down because this kiddo is so much fun and it’s hard watching him grow up so fast.

Anderson is fighting the start of a cold right now so keep your fingers crossed that it will pass quickly. That’s it for today. See y’all in 5 days!

Anderson decided to take his big brother Jackson out for a spin in their red Mustang to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. We've had a great day with the boys, and Anderson thoroughly enjoyed his milk and squash for lunch today. We got a video of Anderson laughing this afternoon. He's been so happy that he's laughing like this all the time. Enjoy!

Anderson has spent the day with his brother Jackson, Papa and Gigi while Jeremy and I went to Auburn for the game. Our little guy is currently taking a nap in his crib, and the plan is for him to sleep in there for the first time tonight. Cross your fingers crossed for us!!!

Anderson is back to sweet, sunny self! It was rough for a few days when he was sick, but he’s feeling so much better now. He’s back to drinking 6 ounces and the little man is devouring 2 jars of baby food a day. His favorites right now are squash and sweet potatoes. He tolerates bananas, but he hates applesauce so far! I have to write this stuff down otherwise I’ll forget! I blog, not scrapbook!

Anderson has been absolutely fascinated with Jackson lately. Whenever Jackson is in the room he has Anderson’s complete attention. This is great when he’s laughing at Jackson’s antics, but it definitely works to our disadvantage when it’s time for A to eat. I can’t complain too much; it makes me so proud to see how much my boys love each other. These two kiddos are going to have a blast growing up together!

That’s it for today. I’ll see  y’all back in 5 more days!

Quick post today. Anderson has croup right now, and he’s sleeping in my arms as I type this. Our pediatrician called in some steroids and it is helping, but the poor little guy just isn’t himself. He stayed over at Nana’s house today and we got a picture of him right before we headed home. Say a prayer for the little monkey!

5 Months Old…November 7, 2011

Today our sweet kiddo is 5 months old! To celebrate his big day we broke out a jar of bananas for him to try. Fun times! So far Anderson has tried squash and bananas and he seems to be getting the hang of eating baby food. He doesn’t always swallow the food, but he is definitely enjoying the different tastes.

Anderson had to go to the doctor today for a cough and we were able to find out that he is now 16.8 pounds and 25 1/2 inches long. The cough turned out to be nothing, but it is nice to have the reassurance that he’s doing good.

Personality wise Anderson is really starting to come into his own. He is so laid back and relaxed as always, but he’s starting to figure out the cutest facial expressions and he loves to interact with us. Jackson is by far the funniest thing in Anderson’s world, and he adores his big brother. We have been truly blessed by this little guy, and we are so lucky that he is in our lives! These 5 months have flown by, and I thank God every day for Anderson!

Doesn’t Anderson look like such a big boy here? He is doing so good and growing like a weed. He’s as sweet as always, even if he doesn’t look quite happy in this picture. I think he’s about to cut a tooth. He’s drooling like a faucet, and he seems more interested in chewing on his bottles than actually drinking from them right now. Last night his schedule seemed really off, and he wasn’t as content as  he normally is. I guess we’ll know soon enough if a tooth comes through!

Anderson is eating baby food now! He’s had squash a few times, and he doesn’t  seem very impressed by it. To be honest, I don’t think he’s swallowed a single bite, most of it has just drooled out of his mouth! We’re going to try bananas in a few days, so maybe he’ll take to it a little better.

We’re looking forward to a quiet weekend around here and a trip to the library tomorrow because we’re crazy and wild like that! See y’all on the 7th for Anderson’s 5 month pictures!
