So, this weekend we took full advantage of having Daddy home from work! We were finally able to do some things together as a family, that we normally don't have the opportunity to do. For example, going to the park as a family for the first time since the week that Anthony was born! It was a beautiful day outside and we all had a great time together. We also had a nice lunch at Tomatina where Anthony enjoyed his own personal pizza and getting to color with Daddy! Anthony has been saying "Mmmm" when he eats something that he likes. And now, he also says, "cheese"! Woo hoo! A new word!

Anthony has 3 more teeth coming in now. There could be more that haven't broke through yet. But, it's hard to tell because he doesn't give us much opportunity to look in his mouth. So, that's a total of atleast 7 teeth now! He has started leading us over to the stairs when he's tired and ready for a nap or his bedtime. At first, we thought he was just leading us over there because he likes to climb the stairs. But, he's only doing it at his normal sleep times. I'm sure this wont last. But, we are going to enjoy his willingness to go to bed while we can! He just loves to play in empty boxes or inside his toy box. And he wants to climb EVERYTHING!

Halloween

Anthony had a great time on Halloween! We went over to Cindy's house to have a little dinner and then out to Trick or Treat. Anthony made a few attempts to give Alison a kiss, but she was playing hard to get that night and wanted no part of it. Although, she was sweet at dinner time and fed Anthony some Cheerios! SO cute! We only went out trick or treating for a short time. But, by the time we got home, Anthony was exhausted! As soon as we came through the door, I set him down and he ran right over, climbed up on the couch and waited for his milk! He always drinks a cup of milk right before bed; so he was ready to get the show on the road and get to sleep!

We all had fun carving pumkins and getting ready for Halloween! Anthony seemed to enjoy putting things inside the pumpkins more than anything else. He's getting some new teeth in; we can tell it's causing him some discomfort. But, he's a champ and doesn't let effect him too much. He has started saying "uh oh", climbs up and sits on the couch on his own when he's ready for some milk and now, when you ask him if he wants to go "night night", he runs over to the stairs and happily waits for us to take the baby gate down so we can assist him while he walks up the stairs like a big boy!
