I don't want to forget...



- You know how to say please and thank you and do it without being asked. I love that you're polite.

- You are almost always kind to people in stores or restaurants when they smile at you or talk to you. You will even give a courtesy laugh sometimes.

- You love books and when you want someone to read to you: you will grab a book, turn your back to them, start backing up towards them and then do a booty drop and hand them the book.

- Whenever you are looking at books by yourself you ALWAYS have them upside down. When we try to correct it you just turn it back to the way you had it.

- You love Vegitales and every time you hear the theme song to it you'll stop what you're going and go dance in front of the TV.

- You pop up like a prairie dog and smile in your crib whenever someone walks into your room after a nap or nights sleep.

- "Snuggling" to you means either sitting and allowing us to hold you for a few seconds, or smiling and putting your head on something.

- You're all about sharing right now (at least it seems) and you will go and find random things that seem important to you and bring them to people (trashcans, laundry baskets, full water cups left on the floor, underwear, books...)

- You know when something is out of  place and you will call me out on it to fix it or just do it yourself. Like closing the basement door so you don't fall down the stairs, or shutting the baby gate to the stairs.

A new cousin!

As of yesterday afternoon, you now have another cousin!! You are now one of 5 cousins... and soon to be 6 (Aunt Stephanie is due next year)! His name is Stuart Graham (named after the man who married your Aunt Anna and uncle John, Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Blake, and your daddy and I). And, he is now the 4th boy cousin... how fun!

We all get to go and meet him in January, and we can't wait! It will be so strange to see you next to such a tiny little baby since I feel like I still see you like that sometimes.

Congrats Andersons-- we love you all and are so proud to be a part of this family!

Your first word!

... is ball. I can say that in confidence becasue you only say it when you see one.  It sounds more like "BA!" or sometimes "BOL?" I'm not surprised this is your first word either--balls are your absolute favorite toy ever. They are what you get the most excited to play with... and the thing that you never get bored of.

I'm excited for more words... you talk a lot and always have so much to say, but the only word that we can understand so far is ball. Keep trying though buds, I have a feeling that very soon you'll be talking our ears off--and we can't wait!
