April 2010

Easter was a blast! Aunt Michelle had us over for an amazing brunch and an egg hunt for Anthony. He just loved finding all the eggs and putting them in his basket! Thanks for the activity table, Aunt Michelle; you know he loves it! After a much needed nap, he opened his Easter Baskets; loved the little chocolate lab from Gramma and Grandpa! He made good use of the Easter baskets the next day by stacking them on Daddy's head while Daddy tried to catch a nap on the couch; no napping on Anthony's watch! Thanks to GG for the adorable "Cars" pj's! He should be able to wear them by this Summer! Thanks Jon & Abbey for the box of Easter goodies! The dinosaur flashlight is too cute and the blanket is great! ................ Anthony had a "well check" with his Pediatrician on the 21st. According to the Doctor, he's doing great! He weighed in at 31.8lbs and measured 2'10" tall. He's adding new words to his vocabulary all the time. In the last few weeks, he finally started calling me "mama"! YES!!! (although "dada" is still his favorite word!) He enjoys being Daddy's personal trainer and making him do push-ups all day long while riding on his back. He absolutely loves anything water: loves to drink it, take a bath, squirt guns (thanks Grandma!) play with the hose, play with his new water table. When he discovers a new toy, kitchen utensil or cup that for some reason strikes his fancy, he'll ask for a bath because that's where he wants to play with it. And much to my displeasure, him and Daddy enjoy playing with spiders! Ugh!
