450 Days Old…August 30, 2012

100_2185

This little stinker has been such a cutie pie lately. He’s always getting into stuff, and when he flashes his little pearly whites after he gets caught, there is no doubt gonna be a heart breaker! Anderson has been feeling so much better, and we’re crossing our fingers that we can make the transition into fallish weather soon with no problems with his cough and cold coming back.

We’re heading to Disney next week, and Anderson is going to get to enjoy some quality time with his grandparents. We’re gonna miss him so much, but I know he will have a blast being spoiled by all 4 of his grandparents.

445 Days Old...August 25, 2012

 
After being on antibiotcs since Monday, Anderson is back to his sunny self. It's amazing what some bubblegum medicine can do! Our little guy has been a mess the past few days, getting into everything. He's such a monkey trying to climb onto chairs and anything else that can help him reach higher. If he can get into stuff, he does! He's such a cute little stinker!

440 Days Old...August 20, 2012

Anderson had to see his big brother off to school today for his first day of 1st grade. Aren't the boys so handsome! Anderson has had a cold for the past few days, andhe's been a little fussy, so I took him to the doctor this afternoon. He has an upper respiratory infection and will be on antibiotics to clear him up.
Anderson hasn't been talking much lately, maybe because he's congested, but I spoke with the doctor today about my concerns. She thinks he's developing normally, just a little slow to speak, so I feel somewhat better about his lack of speech. It's obvious that he understands us, so we'll give him a little bit longer before we do anything like speech therapy.

435 Days Old...August 15, 2012

Seriously, Mom...I'm too busy texting to be bothered with taking another picture for my blog! Anderson is such a stinker when it comes to technology. He loves playing with our cell phones, remote controls and cordless phone. If he gets his hands on something that he shouldn't have, and we make the mistake of taking it from him, he pitches a fit. He's such a mess!!!

Anderson is getting so close to saying, "Mama." Right now he'll say "ma....ma" but he's not linking them together, or looking at me when he's doing it. Not that my feelings are hurt or anything, ahem...He's only got a few more weeks to start speaking or we're heading to speech therapy. I'm trying not to worry, but I am. He's so smart, just super stubborn!

430 Days Old...August 10, 2012


What's the best thing about having a big brother? Big boy toys to ride on! Our little stinker has been doing great the past few days. He's loved playing with Jackson, and there is no one in the world that can make that kiddo of ours laugh like Jackson can. He simply adores his brother!

We're in for a busy weekend around here; we are having Jackson's birthday party tomorrow, and I know that Anderson will thoroughly enjoy having some of Jackson's cake and ice cream. It should be lots of fun.

14 Months Old!

   

  

Our sweet "baby" boy is growing up! At 14 months old he is an absolute little stinker! He is walking like a champ and is fast as lighting. It's been a fun month around here; Anderson has figured out how to climb under the baby gate if you don't put it super close to the ground, and our little Houdini has escaped several times under the gate, laughing hysterically the whole time!

Anderson still isn't talking, with the exception of occasionally saying, "Bubba." He will say, "ba" for bath and "bye" if is feeling super cooperative. His comprehension level is amazing, and he follows most instructions, so we know he is "getting" what we are saying. He just doesn't want to talk. Anderson has moved up into the 1 year old class at church and daycare and is doing wonderful with the bigger kids. We're hoping that being around the older kids will encourage him to speak. If not, he's going back for his 15 month checkup next month and we will probably be referred to Early Intervention for speech therapy.

Anderson loves to play with Jackson's batman set, much to Jackson's chagrin! He loves any toy that makes a ton of noise, and playing peek-a-book is one of his favorite games. He can destroy a clean room in 5 seconds, and just melt your heart with his sweet smile. He is such a fun little kid, and we are so blessed by our little man.

425 Days Old...August 5, 2012


Our little man is moving on up in the world! He moved into the 1 year old Sunday School class at church today, which is my room, and tomorrow morning he will move up into the 1 year old class at school. He's loving being with the bigger kids, and as hard as it is for me to see him growing up so fast, I know he was ready to move. He really needed to be with the bigger kids.

Anderson has been so busy walking around lately. He's getting so much more confident with his skills, and he loves to show off how quickly he can get around the room now.

A isn't talking still, but he has until his 15 month check up next month to make some progress, or we will have to get early intervention involved. I know he is comprehending what we are saying, but the kiddo really needs to start talking to ease this Mama's anxiety!

That's all for today. See y'all in 5 more days!
