HAPPY 2009!!!

Happy 2009 family and friends!!! 2008 is over and Anthony is already 8 1/2 months old. He is growing so fast! We had a very nice Christmas. It was so much fun watching the kids open presents...

Everyday Anthony learns something new. He can now feed himself and he doesn't say no to anything. He is just like daddy. He will try any and all kinds of food.

Anthony can also crawl up onto our marble floor like a pro. Check out the video below...







and crawl back down too...







He can go up the staircase as well and everyday he gets faster and faster. Now all I have to do is teach him how to go down.


For New Year's, mommy and daddy got the urge to have a little fun themselves. So we all took a trip to Reno and we didn't forget to bring grandma. Grandma and Anthony had a fun time too...

The fun just doesn't stop for baby Anthony. Playdates with his cousin Shelby Lee are a blast. She is such a beautiful little girl, Anthony just adores her.




Nap time... I better rest up for an exciting 2009! I love you all... hugs and kisses!!!

Happy Holidays!!! Anthony at 34 weeks

Okay I know it's been awhile since I have updated this blog but life is extremely busy now that Anthony is crawling like crazy. He also loves to stand everywhere. He will grab onto anything to pull himself up. I can't take my eyes off of him for a second. He gets into everything he can get his hands on.



It's amazing how time flies. He will already be eight months old on December 22. He is growing so fast. He doesn't go in for his next doctor's visit until January but I am sure he is pushing 23 lbs. With three teeth and one more piercing through on top he has a hearty appetite.

Anthony's look has changed so much since he was born. At first he looked nothing like mom, he was 100% daddy but now I think he has about 3% mom. He does have his uncle's big eyes...



and I see a lot of little Sammy in him too...



For Halloween, Anthony helped pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Here is my little penguin...




Anthony had his first visit from Santa last weekend and it did not go well. Santa by Sea comes by every year on their boat to take pictures with the kids. Here is mommy and baby waiting anxiously for Santa to float in...



and here is what Anthony thought of Santa...
