The Train Park

We went to the train Park with Gordon, Karen, their kids, Zachary, Daphne, and the Kerr family. There was lots of trains to look at and a few we could ride.

There was a big one where we could sit in the cars and take a 10 min ride around the park. Anthony stood up facing the back of the seat for the whole ride without any fussing and no help at all.

There was also a little train where we sat 1 person to a car and had each of the kids held on by an adult. I didn’t get any pictures of this one because I was holding Anthony. But, he sat still the whole time, just looking at everything as we went past.

There was a tunnel we went through on the little train. Anthony was sitting in front of me facing forward. Each time we went in the tunnel he would look up at me to make sure I was still there.

There was also a train to play on and we got the grandkids together for a picture.Bryan and I agreed it’s a place we want to go back to.

Our Growing Munchkin

 

The first food Anthony gets to feed himself is…graham crackers!

Anthony is almost big enough to keep himself on Daddy’s back while he crawls around.

 

While he is growing up he will still fall asleep in our arms on occasion.

Got it!

Anthony's been close to crawling for a month now.  See for yourself!

At 6 months

Here are a few professional photos Kelley took.

Anthony

As our son takes up a lot of our life, here are a few pictures of him.

For Christmas 2011 my friend gave us some Santa pajamas for him. He was a very cute Santa.

Bryan built his new computer and one of the boxes came with green packing peanuts. Anthony was in a green frog outfit so we decided to see what he thought of the green peanuts. He had not yet discovered the idea of picking things up and putting them in his mouth so we didn’t have to worry about him eating them.

Here he is at 5 months when he’s discovered he can get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth.

At 6 months he likes to put everything in his mouth.

The growing boy

Anthony has started growing out of his clothes and it seems like every other day I find something else he can't wear anymore. We also have started putting Anthony to bed instead of waiting until he falls asleep. This has worked pretty well but now he doesn't always need to eat when he wakes up so I have to figure out when to feed him and when to just cuddle him.

Just finding a routine

Bryan just started school again and we're getting into a routine for the semester. I'm working full time but hope to be able to stay home during the day by the end of summer.

Anthony loves to smile and does most of the time when we talk to him. He also loves trying to put his fists in his mouth. Oh, he has even rolled over a few times though I'm pretty sure he doesn't do it on purpose yet. He weighs about 12 lbs. and is starting to get too big for some of his clothes.

He changes so fast, we're just trying to keep up.
