Anderson is doing it all now and wants to do it on his own. We are trying to let him do as much as he can and are laughing from our bellies about it. Here are a couple of things that Anderson has been up to (mostly on his own).
Anderson has been very interested in independently eating. At Mitchell's the other night, we ordered Anderson a triple decker grilled cheese and he was so excited to get to eat it on his own!
Of course, eating a grilled cheese with your fingers is nothing compared to eating yogurt with a spoon by yourself!
He also got into the styrofoam pit at All About Kids on his own (well...sort of).
Anderson has always been a very happy sleeper. We can usually count on him waking up happy and giving us a show on the baby monitor. He has recently found the joy of jumping on his bed...SO FUN!!
For the longest time, Anderson would give kisses, but we totally forgot to teach him about hugs. As you can imagine, that just wouldn't do, so we got on the ball and made up for lost time. Now, he is giving hugs upon request!
Anderson also finished two summer reading programs: one for the South Oldham library and one for the Louisville Public Library. He loves to read and he received incentives for both. His favorite reward was this hat.
He is still playing with it at home and gets upset if it falls off his head. He will stop whatever it is that he is doing to replace it. Love that boy!
We are having so much fun this summer with this boy! He keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing. Quick story on that note...Richard was eating soft pretzels and giving Anderson small bites. Anderson wanted more than Richard was willing to share. So, Anderson loved on Richard and, when he got close enough to the can, knocked over his Diet Coke. When Richard put Anderson down to go get something to clean it up with, Anderson took the opportunity to grab the soft pretzel and run. Upon his return, Richard noticed his soft pretzel missing and a little sneaky boy on the run, giddy with victory and pretzel in hand.
I do believe we are going to have to stay 3 steps ahead. Love him!
