Happy Holiday's to All

Hi everyone,

Boy was my first Christmas exciting. Santa brought me some good gifts (Mom & Dad did too) .

On Christmas Eve Mom & I went to Uncle Todd & Aunt Lori's to celebrate. It was a lot of fun, but mom wouldn't let me eat any Steak :(

Today we went to Uncle Mike & Aunt Jan's for Christmas Day. I never knew I had so many relatives... I had so much fun playing with my cousins... especially Olivia & Cody.

Tomorrow we go for my helmet check-up, then we are heading to Wisconsin to visit with my other relatives.

Love to you all.

Merry Christmas,

Anders

Merry Christmas & Happy New Rear

I got my helmet today - I'm ready for anything now...

football, hockey, race car driving, even extreme motocross...




So to answer everyone's questions... I have to wear the helmet at least 3 months. I wear it for 4 hours then I get a 1/2 hour break & I need to wear it during all naps & overnight. I hardley notice that I'm wearing it, it is very light. I am looking for some good stickers to decorate it with...

I saw Santa ...

for the first time this weekend. He is one cool dude & I wasn't even scared.

Love, Anders

Photo Shoot

Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well. October is just flying by... Today, Mom & I had a photo shoot, I was really working the camera.

My tribute to Joey from Friends... "how you doin'?" Hey Pumpkin... come here often? (Thank you Auntie Kari for the awesome pumpkin & gourds)Oh, the range of emotion...

My close up with the PUG!

After a long day in front of the camera, I could really use a manicure to unwind.

Check back in a few days - I hope to post a few Halloween Photos.

Love, Anders

Blog Update

Hi All, Sorry It has been a while since I blogged - My schedule is just crazy!

Here are a few fun photos from the past weeks.

I'm getting so big that I'm taking my bath in the big tub now.

Bye for now, will write more soon.

Pumpkin Patch

Hi all,


This weekend we went to visit my family in Wisconsin. I saw Grandma & Grandpa, all my aunties, uncles & cousins. We had birthday party for my cousins & had a lot of fun - they are so silly!!!


These are some photos from Grandma's house. I thought that big orange thing was cool new chew toy, but there was just no way to fit it into my mouth.

Anders

First day at Day Care

Hi all, Today was my first full day at daycare. I had lots of fun.


There were 6 other little boys there with me to play with. I had activity mat time, tummy time, used the exer-saucer and swing. I loved all the new things to look at and music to hear. We also did a craft project. See... Picasso watch out. I was just tuckered out by the time I got home.

We had a busy Labor Day weekend, with visits from both Grandpa's, Grandma and aunts & cousins. I have such a wonderful family.

Lots of Love, Anders (Go Pack!)

Busy weekend

Hi All, Just a quick update on what is going on in my life. I'm getting pretty strong & like to sit up (with the help of pillows of course...)

I've been enjoying my days home with Daddy this month - He & I are best buddies!

Also, I have a new Cousin... Olivia (She's the little one in pink) Hard to believe I was that small once.

On Friday Night we went to a party. On Saturday we went to another wedding - It was alot of fun!!!

On Sunday we hung around home & then in the afternoon Mom & I went to a jewelry party at Aunt Tina's. I didn't find anything that I liked - but Mom picked up a few things. I had a good time though playing with my friend Nick.

Bye for now... will post more later.
Love, AWN

My new favotite toy...

Hi again,
