720 Days Old...May 27, 2013

 
Anderson got into Nana and Tata's pool for the first time this swimming season today. He wasn't a big fan of the cold water, but if he stayed in my arms he was fairly content. He did like jumping into my arms from the side of the pool, and I think given a few more weeks in the water he will become a water bug like Jackson. That's all for Memorial Day! See y'all in 5 more days!

715 Days Old...May 22, 2013

This little monkey had a great time in the bathtub tonight; I put a glow stick in the tub with him, and you would have thought I had found the coolest toy ever! I'll have to remember this idea for the future! Cheap, cheap thrills!

710 Days Old...May 17, 2013

 
This little cutie pie has learned to say "thank you!" In Andersonese it comes out as "day ooohh" but we'll take it! We know what he means! In true Anderson fashion he won't do it on command, unless he's just feeling particulary sweet at that moment, but if I bribe him with something good, like candy, I can usually get it out of him.
 
Baby steps folks, baby steps!

705 Days Old...May 12, 2013

So super blessed to be the Mama to these amazing little gifts from God! They keep me on my toes, but I wouldn't trade them for anything! I'm lucky beyond belief! Happy Mother's Day, y'all!

23 Months Old!

 

 
 
Look who's 23 months old already! I took the boys to the zoo and got these pictures, and Anderson has mastered his "cheese" face! He even took the opportunity to pose for me every time I asked him. What a cutie pie!
 
At 23 months old Anderson is eating everything we put in front of him, unlike his big brother! He doesn't eat a lot of food, but he's up for trying whatever is available to him. Anderson is sleeping like a champ in  his toddler bed, usually going to bed around 7:30 or 8, and sleeping all night long. He hasn't attempted to climb out of his bed at all, which makes this Mama super happy!
 
We haven't progressed much in the speech department over the last few months. Anderson's vocabulary consists of 8 words: Mama, Dada, Bubba, Jack, Nana, Tata, Papa, and no. He should begin receiving biweekly therapy after he turns 2, so I'm hoping to see major changes. Cognitively, the kid is so advanced. He is smart beyond belief, it's just like he has no interest in talking. Gives me gray hairs, but it doesn't seem to bother him in the least.
 
Anderson's birthday party planning is in full mode. We reserved the play center at the YMCA and his party theme is frogs. I have his invitations and party outfit on order through Etsy, and hopefully can get everything crossed off my party list soon.
 
That's it for today! Look forward to giving you his 2 year update in a few more weeks!!!

700 Days Old...May 7, 2013

Anderson and Jackson have discovered the iPad and whoo-boy, these kids of mine are a mess fighting over this new toy! Anderson doesn't want Jackson to play with it. Ever. I'm sure you can imagine how happy that makes Jackson! I'm thinking we may have Santa bring some kid friendly tablets for Christmas. Maybe....otherwise I will never get this toy of mine back!

Anderson's birthday party is booked, and our little guy is 23 months old today! Let the birthday countdown officially begin!

The boys enjoying morning snuggles in Anderson's toddler bed at Nana's house while Jeremy and I are in St. Thomas.
 
Love, love, love these little stinkers so much!
