No updates for a few weeks!

We are hitting the road for our first family vacation... I'll post when we get back! I hope Anthony doesn't mind the long car ride!

Weeks 36 & 37

Anthony had his first hair cut! Daddy couldn't take the "long" hair anymore and gave him a little trim. He didn't enjoy it AT ALL. But, he really did need it. Anthony discovered that he can open cabinets and is just relentless about trying to get into them. So, Daddy installed locks on all the kitchen cabinets. We had a fun time visiting our friends Cindy & Alison. He loved watching Alison walk around (she's 14 months old). Anthony is quite the little helper with chores... as I was standing at his dresser folding some clothes and putting them away, I look down and he's standing there pulling the clothes out of the drawer and throwing them over his shoulder! It was so funny! We are very excited about our first vacation as a family. We have to see how he does on a long road trip.... if he's like his Daddy, he will love it! If he's like his Mommy, then not so much! ;)

NOTE: There are 2 new links of pictures on the right (Week 36 & Week 37)

Week 35

Anthony is our little energizer bunny; he just goes and goes, non-stop! (Hmm... sounds like the stories I've heard when Daddy was a baby!) We used to be able to keep him confined somewhat and detour him a little by placing things in his path. But now he just motors over everything (including us) like a tank! He is just so busy and doesn't have time for trivial tasks like eating and diaper changes. It seems like only a couple of weeks ago that I was blogging about how much Anthony enjoyed being on the changing table. Ah, the good ol' days! Now you have to practically pin him down to keep him from flipping over. Anthony is pulling himself up to a standing position with ease now. And he's just starting to "cruise" a little bit.

8 months old

Another week with our little cutie... Anthony has been sleeping through the night like a champ! It's been GREAT! I actually woke up on Sunday morning and felt like I got too much sleep! It was a glorious feeling! Our biggest delight for the week was that Anthony has started giving us kisses! It's the sweetest thing EVER! He's also taken a fancy to making a "snorty" kind of face.. hard to explain. But, there are some videos of it in the additional pictures link.
