Oops, forgot to post these and they are TOO cute to skip over!

Todd took these pictures of Anders last week and captured so many cute shots -- I got overwhelmed while trying to decide which ones to post, so I never got around to posting them. So again, sorry that there are SO many but hope you enjoy!

Sneak Peak

We are spending the week with Beth, Daniel, Ryder & Paisley in Austin, Texas!

Just a couple pictures from this morning -- more will come later, but I need to feed a sweet baby and then shower. We are heading off to see Todd while loading in & preparing for the Kellie Pickler show tonight.

Sweet babies in PJ's (Anders & Paisley like holding hands and playing with each others feet)...

Pictures from last week

So I am behind on blogging & these pictures are from last week and this weekend. You would think that having the extra help of Mom all week would have given me lots of time to blog but instead we knocked out some serious organizing and projects around the house, oh and we shopped of course!

In addition to turning 7 months old, Anders had some "firsts" -- he took baths in the tub instead of the kitchen sink or the whale tub, he went swinging at the neighborhood playground, drank from a sippy cup (well tried to), and played with a box. Such an exciting week!

Taking a bath in the big tub

Acting like such a big boy & holding the cup with two hands...

Swinging like such a BIG BOY!

And having WAY TOO much time playing in the box (which happened to be the last box that was finally unpacked, well except for all the boxes in the attic).

Quick trip to GA

So we had a crazy weekend! We drove late into the night on Friday and arrived in GA around 1:30am. Todd was exhausted from the busy, LONG week so he crashed, but Anders was not ready to go back to bed. So Anders & I did not go to sleep until 4am -- again I was cursing traveling because it is so hard on Anders' sleep schedule. We slept in until 11am and woke up to find out that sweet Haley was very sick and so her 4th birthday party was cancelled! On Sunday we hung out with Aunt Katie & Uncle Chip...

Then we headed home Sunday afternoon around 2:30pm and it took us 6.5 hours to get there because of traffic and 24W being closed. So Todd, Mom, Anders, Bella & I had a long, scenic drive home. We stopped a couple times and by the end of it all I was anxious to get home (Bella sat in my lap in the front seat the whole trip).

Our weekend

This weekend has gone by so quickly - Saturday night we had Derek & Liza Bason over for dinner. They showed up when I was about to put PJ's on Anders so that is why he is naked. It has been beautiful & warm this weekend, so don't worry he wasn't freezing while hanging out in his diaper.

Then this morning Anders took a nap with Todd & I (from 6:45am-8am) and woke up to find that Bella was snuggling with him :) She had rested her head on his legs, so sweet!

Today was so beautiful that it would have been wrong if we didn't get outside to enjoy the weather, so we took Bella on a W-A-L-K. I find myself spelling that word even when Bella isn't around because I am so trained to not say it in front of her because she knows what it means. So we decided to try out the umbrella stroller for the first time -- Anders is such a BIG boy! I think he really like having the wind blowing thru his hair and getting to see everything ahead of him while on the W-A-L-K :)

Little afternoon photo shoot

Anders & I are on our own today -- Todd took Bella to the vet this morning for her yearly check up and then went to the shop to work on his gear some. So Bella is hanging out with Daddy today and Anders is having some quality Mommy time! I thought he looked so cute in this car outfit from Audrey that we needed to have a photo shoot.

WARNING you that there are SO many pictures...hope you enjoy!

Anders week 25...

Anders likes reaching for my glass and "drinking" water, most of the time he just sucks on the rim of the glass but sometimes he gets a little water. Here he is washing down some sweet potatoes...

Here he is upset that I have taken away my glass. Note what his bib says: "cute but messy like daddy" -- SO TRUE, SO TRUE!

Daddy, Anders & Bella hanging out while watching the Daytona 500 -- we have been watching the Olympics alot this week but took a break to watch some of the race.
