Team Anders

3 Months - 16 Jul 11 Sayonara, " 4th Trimester ", Smalls is three months old!! We have so many dang nicknames for this kid that I'm pretty sure his first "Hello..." name tag's gonna look something like this: Ok, moment of truth...let's see how big our little homie has gotten: Alright, well, doesn't seem that he's gotten  that  much bigger but the changes in his motor skills development have been a little more noticeable. He's now able to grip and hold on to toys (right now his Air Force bear and Goldy the Gopher are in a heated battle for his affections) and he's also starting to put almost everything he can find into his mouth...to include his entire hand! One of these days he's going to finally figure out that he cannot milk his fingers... Smalls is rolling over almost every time he's on his tummy and is cooing and squeaking all the time. He's still spitting up quite a bit though so that stinks (literally). Felt ...

Lots of random stuff going on in the Team Anders world over the past week, wow! As you all know, Easton started daycare last Monday at the Hanscom CDC. He adjusted wonderfully and his teachers have nothing but great things to say about him so I've chalked that up to a successful first week. In the category of milestones, Easton knocked out an 8-hour stretch of sleep last Wednesday night...slept just long enough to wake up and say goodbye to Jace as he headed home to Minnesota for Mike Okey and Blair Hawkinson's wedding.

I was pretty bummed that I couldn't be there to celebrate with everyone but thought it was just a bit early to put li...

Thanks to my wonderful husband and our amazing friends Pete Foster & Crystal Ornelas (herein referred to as "The Fosters") Baby Anders had a wonderful baby shower yesterday!  I should have suspected something was up with all the super secret phone calls Jace says he was making but, sadly, I was oblivious to his schemes.  Our friend Polly Sandness was in town and we had been on an absolute Dunkin' Donuts bender so Jace suggested we head out and get some real food at a local restaurant's brunch. I was excited about that (yep, pregnant lady excited to eat - so strange) so got all dressed up to match Jace's unusually dapper attire and off we went.  Polly mentioned she wanted to swing by the apartment's clubhouse just to check out our amenities.  Being an absolute real estate voyeur myself I appreciated her request to snoop around so was happy to oblige. After we got out of the car I noticed a sign that said "Baby Shower around back" and began to pu...
