2nd Birthday & September

Our little boy turned 2! We celebrated on Anthony's birthday with a small family dinner at Maria Maria (Mexican Restaurant in Danville). Thanks to Aunt Michelle & Sarah for joining us! Then we were joined by more family & friends at the birthday party at our house on the 18th. Anthony has a blast! I know this because he was so busy having fun, he didn't come near his mommy all day! =)~  Anthony loves the trampoline and really enjoyed being bounced around by the other boys. Thanks to everyone that attended the party and to those that couldn't attend but sent their love!

We still have "Monsters Vs. Aliens" on the constant movie loop in the house. And in the car, he has to watch Toy Story 2. Oh, I guess the big news this months (aside from turning 2), Anthony started daycare. He's adapted well and seems to really enjoy it there. He did, however, bring home a little cold and was so kind as to share it with mommy & daddy! Thanks Sonny! ;)

August

Anthony is quite the little talker all of a sudden. It's like he just woke up one day and decided to start talking; it's crazy! He will repeat just about anything we tell him to. But, even more, he is using words to communicate (and using them correctly!). He is very enthusiastic about using his new "Cars" potty and really wants to run naked so he can be free to use it whenever he likes. His new favorite movie is "Monsters Vs. Aliens" and we watch it constantly! It might even be squeezing out Blue's Clues as his favorite thing to watch. He is addicted to driving... sitting at the wheel of my car or using the car-shopping carts at the grocery store. It's gotten to the point now where we can't pull up to a store without him saying, "drive, drive!". And God forbid all of the car-carts are taken and he sees another kid driving one in the store! He gets SO mad!

He's surprising us daily with the things he says and does! That little sponge doesn't forget anything! And we just found out that he can put on his shoes all by himself; who knew? I mentioned to him that we were going to go somewhere in the car and he ran off; I thought he was hiding because he didn't want to go. After a few minutes, he runs back up to me with both of his shoes on the correct feet and looks at me, as if to say, "ok! I'm ready to go!"
