Houston, We have a Toddler!

Anderson is GROWING SO FAST!!!! Here are all of the things he is doing and getting into these days...

PROFILE
  Dada and Anderson Reading a book. See that brush Patrick is holding? It's mine and Anderson goes into our bathroom every morning to get it so he can carry it around with him all day. CRAZY KID!
 Anderson has started learning about the toilet and we have been letting him practice every morning when he wakes up, at naptime and before bed. He doesn't understand yet but I am more interested in making it a routine at this point so that later it won't be such a struggle.
 Vacuuming...ALWAYS!
 This is the "I think I am going to fuss at you" Look.
 If he is outside, He is IN THE DIRT!!!
 He Loves to be outside...and exploring.

 He found this Paint Roller in the garage and whenever we go outside, he grabs his paint roller and rolls all over the yard. He rakes it back and forth and thinks he is really doing yard work. He doesn't care for walks or getting in the car for rides. The second he steps outside, he grabs a tool and gets to work in the yard...we feel that teaching him young is important...haha:)
 He needs a bath after every outside "Work" session. He gets filthy and muddy. I am pretty sure he plans it that way just so he can enjoy a nice hot bath when he comes back inside!
 Toddlers that play hard, sleep hard. Anderson crashes every day for 2 hours and sleeps 12-14 hours at night. Sometimes he falls asleep after he has partially undressed himself. Sometimes he falls asleep with his face smashed against his bumpers.
 Anderson has been "Cutting" his four canines since January. They are finally coming in and we are so happy!
 We are Not So Happy about the "Teething" marks he has left all over the front window sill. I caught him in action and snapped a picture.
 Anderson has started branching out and eating more foods with textures!!! Keep up the good eating bubby!
 Anderson LOVES to help Dada, whether they are paying bills...
 
 Working in the yard...
 Or bathing the kitties...
 Poor Tader:(
 Cedric, you are half the cat you used to be....Haha.!
 Anderson LOVES to play with his buddy Nick!
 I took my little Toddlers to OMSI! We had a blast!
They loved the Sand!

 AND THE WATER!!!!



 He and Nick play with the kitchen constantly and of course Anderson vacuums and tidies up:)
 Anderson pushed Tader around in his wheelbarrow for quite some time before Tader decided to hop out.
 Anderson is Quite the Climber and I watched him and snapped pictures as he carefully climbed to the top of his Cozy Truck...he was so proud of himself....SO SCARY!!!
 My silly little smiler!
 Such a friendly and lovely kiddo he is. We love every minute we get to spend with him. He has such a ZEST for life and we are so lucky to be his parents. As far as toddlers go, he is AMAZING and we wouldn't change anything about him! We love you Bubby!

He's so cute you guys! Love those blue eyes. I can relate to the teething marks on the window molding. Only Elise destroyed her crib instead of the window. We even bought a new rail for the front of the crib because it was so bad. Good thing they are so cute or we'd spank 'em!
