He Spits!
This is Anderson's new talent...I know that I shouldn't laugh at him when he does this because it's going to come back to haunt me, but I can't help it! It's the funniest thing!
Sorry it's so dark- I think you can see it tho.

On The Road Again...
We're about to celebrate Anderson's first Christmas. I am reminded of 6 months ago before I had AJ when I was thinking about what his Christmas would be like. At that time I wasn't sure if we'd go back to California to be with family or have our family out here. We decided it would make the most sense to go out there because we can see so many people.
Tomorrow we're heading out to Orange County, California for a week. Unlike the other few trips we've made, Jason will be joining us and I'm THRILLED! Not only do I want him with us for Christmas and to be with family, but it will take a lot of stress and pressure off of me. It is so nice to know that I'll have a lot of help.
Of course we have a lot of plans while we're away. We will celebrate Christmas 4 or 5 times with different people. We plan to see my Mom & Dave, Dad & Cory, Matt & Kristin, most of Jason's family. We'll also see lots of friends.
I'm off to pack- it's never ending! :)

Holiday Party
Last night we had a Holiday Party at our house with our best friends and their kids. It was a wonderful time! Each year we all get together and do a nice meal and a gift exchange for the kids and this year we added in an ornament exchange for the women.
Jason cooked a WONDERFUL prime rib and then everyone brought a side. We had a few great appetizers, salad, potatoes and 2 great desserts!
This was Anderson's first time being a part of this tradition and it was just so fun watching him interact with and be entertained by all the kids. Most of the kids are much older than him so he is entertained just by watching them run around the house or when they talk to him.

"hum...how can I fit this into my mouth?"
A Tooth!
It's official- Anderson has a tooth! Well, at this point, it's just a little sharp pointy thing coming through his gums, but it is there! I can feel it, but can't really see it. It is on the bottom center.
The other day he put my finger in his mouth like he always does and chomped down and I felt something sharp. I kept feeling around to be sure I wasn't just imagining it and sure enough there it was.
I think I'm excited about this, but at the same time I wonder about him biting me (OUCH!) and then there's the reality that this just is another sign that he's growing up!

Peas Vs. Apples
I've never met another person who would turn down apples in favor of peas... Until this kid!
* Oh, and to answer the question, "Why doesn't he wear a bib?"... Well, it actually makes things a LOT messier (if you can believe that!) because he just eats a bit of food and then shoves the bib in his mouth! He's SUCH a boy!! *

What a week!
This week has been interesting. It was supposed to be a busy week of friends and social events, but there were a few wrenches thrown into our lives.
Monday night I was going to out to dinner with some girlfriends, but we got a BIG snow storm (6 inches +) so we had to cancel. Then Tuesday afternoon I was going to meet another friend for lunch and Christmas shopping and that was cancelled due to snow as well.
Wednesday was a first for us. I got either a migraine or the flu and was completely unable to be a mother/wife/friend or anything. I haven't been this sick since before I got pregnant so this was all new to me. I slept the entire day except when Anderson needed to be fed. I am so thankful that Jason works from home and didn't have a busy day that day because he had to work his job and be Mr. Mom all day. He did such a great job- I was beyond thankful for him!
Thankfully Thursday I felt a lot better and we were able to leave the house and get some things done.
This weekend we've got a few Christmas parties to go to and I'm excited about that! Then next week will be very busy doing many of the things that were cancelled this week and then it's time to pack our bags for California!
I can't believe how fast time has gone by and that it's almost Christmas already!
