A few pictures from the weekend...

So, this weekend we did some final prepping for the baby. We installed the infant car seat into the car which meant moving Anderson's seat to the window and putting the baby seat next to his in the middle. We took Anderson out there to show him and he was very interested in the whole deal. He was very proud that his seat was the "big" one and the other seat was "little" and for the "baby". However, when Reese took out the carrier part (the part you can tote around the baby in and pop back into the base) Anderson kind-of freaked out. He cried until we put it back in. So, not sure how that's going to play out once the baby is in it and we have to take him out while still in the carrier!

We also washed and reassembled the baby items like the swing, bouncy seats, etc. Anderson promptly took over the swing and spent most of the afternoon climbing in and out and demanding to hear us sing "Rock-a-bye Baby" and "Ba Ba Black Sheep" while he was swinging. Hopefully the novelty of HIM being in the swing will wear off shortly.



On Saturday we went to Anderson's friend's birthday party at a horse farm. Anderson was very excited to ride the pony! He got right on and had a grand time. The second picture is Anderson telling the pony "Hey Horsey!".

Here's a picture of Anderson playing with his new Mickey Mouse Bubble Machine that Aunt Reagan got him. I've already had to make a trip to buy one of those enormous bottles of refill bubble liquid because he loves this so much!

We took the final picture of Anderson with the Blue Bear that he had his picture taken with every month his first year and then every 6 months his second year. I thought this was the most precious smile! I compiled all the Bear pictures into a little Kodak photo book and it's just amazing to see how much he changed over the last two years! I guess we won't get any rest from the Blue Bear pictures, though! Now that Baby Boy 2 is almost here we'll be taking monthly pictures again! I can't wait to compare the two boys!

Hi all! I've been without my laptop for a few days (virus) and it's still on the mend, but I wanted to post a couple of videos we took of Anderson recently. He's walking full-time now with his favorite jaunt being up and down the sidewalk of our block. He loves to stop, bend over, and pick up leaves and rocks to carry with him. Now that he's fully mobile he seems to be getting into more and more things. All drawers and cabinets that aren't locked are fair-game. His favorite activity while we are getting dressed in our bathroom is going through our cabinets and pulling out all sorts of fun things like bottles, hair clips, dental floss, etc. Now we just need to figure out how to get him to put it all back. He's also a huge fan of climbing. If it can be climbed, Anderson will give it a try. He'll hike that leg up and pull, pull, pull himself as hard as he can. Therefore, his newest word is "up". Once he gets up, he then gets back down and starts it all over again. Enjoy the two videos and make sure you turn up your volume nice and loud for the second one. ;)
