13 weeks old

Anthony has really started to notice and focus on objects around him. Of course, like all men, he really likes the tv remote! He is constantly eating his hands now too. We went shopping on Saturday with Grandma. Grandma pushed him around in the stroller while I shopped. It was very cute to hear him laughing out loud from a couple racks away. Grandma was entertaining him with the classic, "ahhhh boo!" Going back to work this past week was rough for me. I'm happy that I get to come home at lunch time and that I have Fridays off; makes my work week go by a little faster. Daddy is really enjoying his time at home with the baby though. I'm really happy that they have the opportunity to spend so much time together.

12 weeks old - Thanksgiving

12 weeks already? Wow, that went by fast! We spent the first part of Thanksgiving day at Grandma's house. We had a yummy early meal with Grandma, Auntie Diane, Aaron & Kevin. Grandma did a great job despite her stove going out on her! Then we headed over to Aunt Michelle's for another meal. Everything was fantastic over there too! And we got to take home lots of leftovers! YUM! I had to go back to work on Monday; that's all I'm gonna say about that! I think we are going to go pick out a Christmas tree tomorrow. We can't wait to get the tree up; Anthony is going to love watching the tree lights!

11 weeks old

Anthony is talking and laughing more than ever now. He loves to watch TV too! Nikki gave us some Baby Einstein videos and he can't take his eyes off the screen when it's on! Cindy and Alison came by for a visit on Friday. (picture of Anthony & Alison below) Anthony really likes to watch other kids and babies!

Hear him laugh!

Sooo cute!

10 weeks old

Anthony is really starting to "talk" a lot more and he's giving us a lot more giggles! Grandma & Auntie came by for a visit yesterday; they took us to Chevy's for lunch. Anthony sat next to Auntie at the restaurant and had a nice conversation with her before falling asleep. Daddy had training all day on Thursday and Friday and then has to work all weekend. We are looking forward to Monday when he'll be able to spend lots of time with us.

I'm sad to report that I dropped & broke my little camera last night! UGH!! Hopefully, I'll be able to get a new camera soon! =(

9 weeks old

We had a routine appointment with the pediatrician this week. The doctor reports that Anthony is very healthy! He weighed in at 15.6lbs and measured 24.75". That puts him in the 99% group for his weight and 96% for length. I can't believe how big he is getting! I wish he'd stay small for awhile!

Daddy went back to work this weekend. We miss him when he's not here!! =( And it only makes me realize that my return to work is fast approaching. I sooo don't want to go back! I need to start buying some Lottery tickets!

We had a visit this weekend from Auntie Diane and cousins Aaron & Kevin. Anthony is fascinated by his cousins; he can't take his eyes off of them. He also really enjoys long conversations with his Auntie.

8 weeks & Halloween

Well, we didn't take Anthony out to "trick or treat"; it was too cold and rainy. But, he helped us pass out candy to the few trick-or-treaters that we did get. We did go to a Halloween party on Friday afternoon. Although, he slept through the party! =)~ Auntie Diane came by for a visit on Saturday afternoon.

The "World's Strongest Baby" costume was a gift from our friends Dan & Audra and the Halloween sleeper was a gift from Grandma Cindy. Thanks Grandma, Dan & Audra!

7 weeks old & a trip to the pumpkin patch

Anthony was 7 weeks old yesterday! And to celebrate and thank his parents for all of their unconditional love, caring and constant care, he slept through the night! WOO HOO!!! He went 9 hours between feedings and I got to sleep for 8 hours straight! I really needed that sleep too since I've been battling a bit of a cold. He did it again last night too! I'm hoping this is the start of a new pattern for us. We took Anthony to the pumpkin patch today; that was fun! I can't wait to get him into his Halloween costume!

5 weeks old

Anthony is 5 weeks old today! We put him on the scale with Daddy and he weights 13lbs, 6oz! He's outgrown a lot of my favorite clothes already. Anthony's favorite things are eating, having his diaper changed, baths and riding in the car. His not-so-favorite things are being burped and having to wait for a meal! =)

4 weeks old (a little late)

OK, it was 4 weeks this past Sunday.. but, things have been a little crazy around here since we moved. As you can see, Anthony is smiling a lot more now. He's still eating every 2 - 3 hours. But, at some point in the evening, he usually gives us a 4 - 5 hour stretch. There's even been two occasions where he's gone 6 hours between feedings! Woo Hoo!! The video below was taken on the 8th; technically, that's week 5. But, it's just too cute not to post it now! Turn up the volume to hear a little laugh!
