Starting with my bug, here are just a few things I am loving today....
1. The fact that his little shoes can fit in the top of a box.
2. When he says bye bye to everything! This was definitely one of the best suggestions Nicole has passed on because it saves a lot of tantrums when we have to leave something. We bye bye EVERYTHING! Cookies, the house, Gabbi...Here he is saying bye bye to a truck while we were on a walk.
3. Slobbery, mouth open kisses on my cheek
4. When he wants something & he grabs my hand to show me. SO precious.
5. If he wants me, he yells, "Bobble!" I thought this was because he can't say Ms but I totally heard him in his crib saying, "mama, mama" and then I walked in and he said, "Bobble!!"
6. Trucks. When he is throwing a HUGE fit about getting out of the bathtub, we can bribe him with his new Aunt Cole truck book or the truck/tractor place mat. He can identify all of the different vehicles on it. Also, HUGE shout out to cousins Shannon & Jacob for the truck dvd. It is this awesome 1980's style video where the host (in his denim shirt & stonewashed jeans) takes the kids on a tour of trucks. It has literally changed our lives. Anderson is obsessed with it.
7. When he imitates us. He is washing his hair in this pic. Hilarious.

8. The fact that the only food I can consistently get him to eat is Black Bean soup. It's a Rachael Ray recipe with beans, tomatoes, onions...and he LOVES it. The kid is not an eater by any stretch but he will chow down on this soup and I think it is so random and precious.Random...TODAY, you need to become a potential bone marrow donor. Go to bethematch.org and sign up. They send you a little kit where you swab your cheek & they keep you on record. It is totally free, kind of official AND you could save someone's life. If everyone signed up, think of how many kids (and parents, grandparents...) could be cured. If, God forbid, the unthinkable happened to us, how wonderful to have a guardian angel. And, YOU could be someone else's guardian angel!! Anyway, just do it, please.
here is a little video of the bug
I am mega impressed with the spoon usage!!! Way to go Anderson!
ReplyDeleteSo many talents! I am with Clare- that is some impressive spoon use. And, I seriously thought the noises at the start of the video were from the truck! I am going to have to find him a better truck book. Will look right now.
ReplyDeleteHe's getting independent! Growing so fast! On the look-out for trucks,bugs, etc! I'm sure that black bean soup is providing some interesting "entertainment" for you all! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love how Brandon said beep beep and then Anderson said beep beep. Hilarious! I also love the placemat and how it HAD to be under his bowl. LOL! He's an awesome kid and I need to visit to learn more about trucks and 80s trucker fashions.
ReplyDeletehe is so good with a spoon!!! jacob still doesn't do that well with one... when jacob first went to table food, he hated the typical things a toddler would like (or at least typical in my mind, like spaghetti) and loved random things too, like lima beans (yuck), black eyed peas (again, yuck) and cantelope. he hates all 3 now....sigh...
