325 Days Old...April 27, 2012

Anderson is turning into such a monkey! He's learned this new trick where he sticks his lower jaw out and opens his mouth like he's trying to talk, only no sound comes out. He looks so funny doing it, and when we laugh at him it just makes him do it more.

We're finally back on track with Anderson and baby food. I guess it was just a phase, but I'm so glad he's not refusing it anymore. He loved my fettucini at Olive Garden last night, but we're just not ready for him to give up baby food completely.

Anderson still isn't walking for us yet without us holding his hands, but he is cruising on anything he can get his hands on. He got so tickled last night at Jeremy and laughed for 10 minutes straight. It was so funny with his sweet little giggle!

We'll be back in 5 more days with another picture of our cutie pie!

320 Days Old…April 22, 2012

Anderson celebrated Earth day today by spending some time in the garden. He got to watch us plant squash, okra, tomatoes, peppers and sunflowers yesterday. He’s doing much better on his sleeping now, but it seems to Jeremy and I that he’s going on a baby food strike. He’s not wanting to eat anything that doesn’t come off our our plates. It is making both of us nervous because he’s not eating much of anything right now, but we’re hoping its just a phase. We’re definitely not ready for him to give up baby food; he’s not even 11 months old yet!

Anderson still isn’t set on walking yet, or saying “Mama” for that matter, but he’s constantly saying, “Dada.” I’m so jealous!! That little monkey is playing me! He’s getting much more vocal, so maybe it will be my turn next.

See y’all in 5 more days with another picture of our cute little man!

315 Days Old…April 17, 2012

Major knock on wood here, but Anderson is doing great right now. He’s eating well, sleeping better at night, and is busy showing us his personality every day. I got a few pictures of the boys this afternoon in their new matching outfits. Aren’t they cute?!?

Anderson hasn’t walked anymore since last week, but he’s super busy cruising around on anything he can get his hands on. He tried stage 3 food with Jeremy yesterday and did okay. He’s beginning to enjoy some regular food, but we are going to keep giving him baby food for as long as we can.

That’s it for today; We’ll be back with another picture in 5 days!

310 Days Old…April 12, 2012

Anderson had his 1st steps tonight!!!  Right before bed he walked 2 steps towards Macy that Jeremy caught and then he walked 2 more steps that I got to see after Jeremy called me into the living room. I’m so excited for my sweet baby boy!! It’s amazing that we’re already to the point where he’s beginning to walk. I need time to slow down just a little bit!

We’ll be back in 5 more days!

10 Months Old…April 7, 2012

I can’t believe our sweet Anderson is 10 months old already. Time is flying by! Anderson is such an amazing baby and his personality is really coming out. He’s laid back and relaxed 99% of the time, and he is super easy going. He is crazy about Jackson and in the bottom right picture above he was trying his hardest to keep Jackson in view!

At 10 months old Anderson is super close to walking. He loves his walk behind toy and he cruises on everything. He’s beginning to like real food, and loved sharing my fettuccine alfredo at Olive Garden. He is taking about 5 containers of baby food a day, and we still haven’t had much luck with sippy cups.

Anderson now has 5 teeth; 3 on the bottom and 2 on the top. The little guy is a drool monkey right now! He is constantly chewing on his hands and he can bite hard!

Anderson has now said, “Mama” and “Dada” and something that sounds a lot like, “Bubba” which delighted Jackson to no end!

I guess that’s about it for now. I’ll be back in 5 more days!

300 Days Old…April 2, 2012

Anderson has had a rough go of it for the last few days. He was diagnosed with strep and pink eye Sunday after he broke out in a weird rash. He was super snotty and his eye was oozing gunk. After a trip to Primed we found out about the step and he was put on antibiotics and eye drops. His white blood count was more than twice what they want it to be and after a few days on antibiotics he seems to be doing much better.

Anderson is cutting his 3rd, 4th and 5th teeth right now which is loads of fun. He is cutting 2 bottom teeth and his first 2 top teeth. All in all it’s been a rough few days but we have our fingers crossed that we’re getting back on the road to normal. Y’all take care!
