Valentine's Day and other ramblings...

You'll have to excuse this post for having no pictures, but our computer has a virus and I'm at work and I didn't bring my camera...and yada yada yada....

I woke up Valentine morning to receive a gift card from here from Anderson and Adam! I was so excited! I also gave Adam the same gift certificate, because he will be taking the Bar Exam next Monday- Wednesday and will need to unwind SO much after that. I will be getting the massage and pedicure:) When it gets warm enough for my little toesies to show in some sandals.

I'm sooo ready for Spring and more importantly warm weather, cause that means Summer is near. I can't wait to be off with Anderson!

Please say a prayer that Adam will pass his bar. He's worked so hard, almost 5 long years of studying and working. Anderson and I will be rooting for him from home, "GO Daddy GO"!!

Hope you have a great week!:)

A Good Day

While Adam is pulling his hair out studying for his bar exam, Anderson and I had a perfectly wonderful day! First, he slept ALL night long, from 7:30p.m.-5:45a.m. YIPPPEEE!! After Adam left for his bar review class, Anderson and I got up and enjoyed a perfectly wonderful morning sitting outside, listening to the birds.

Please excuse my absence of make up, we were relaxing today!

Then, we went to Walmart and bought groceries and some Valentine's Day gifts! :) We had lunch with Adam and came home to ride on Anderson's car around the block. Then we hung out in the backyard on a blanket, enjoying nature.

Here is Anderson attempting to eat a leaf

Here is Annabelle, her ears are perked up because I hollered "cookie" so she would look at me...

Here is Gus, who is feeling a little under the weather today.

We had a delightful day!

Calling all domestic divas...

Yay! You're here! I need help coming up with a theme for Anderson's 1st birthday party. It's in April and I'm stumped! Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

Yours truly,
Needs help in Montgomery

9 months stats

This young man went to the doctor yesterday for his 9 month check up and we were told he was "strong willed" because he screamed bloody murder while she checked him out. Later, the doc added, "it will help him later down the road though". Adam pointed in my direction!?! She asked if he was holding his own bottle and Adam replied "no". We thought we should start working with him... and ta-da -he is able to hold it. I wonder how long he's been able to do it? The doc also suggested he should be moved to his room, and Adam agreed, I wasn't so ready with an answer...

Anderson's stats were:

Height: 29 and one half inches (90 percentile) YIPPEEE

Weight: 19 lbs, 7 oz.(35 percentile)

Head: 19 inches (100+percentile) ya'll he's just too smart!!;)

He can eat most any soft table food because he has 4 teeth, but I'm a little scared of some foods because I think he might choke. Yes, I'm one of those mommas.

Today, Anderson had Annabelle and Gus stuck in the laundry room- HILARIOUS!!

Nana In Town!

Since Adam has been studying so hard for the bar and going to his bar review classes and has to attend on Saturdays, Nana came to town! We were glad to see her! Anderson has gotten out of only wanting us to hold him all the time and actually let my momma hold him lots today. Sad for me, I know, I'm a bad, selfish momma...so SUE me! We went to eat lunch with Adam and then went to Prattville to look around downtown and shop a little. Anderson was on his best behavior! His two front teeth are almost all the way down! He looks so adorable with front and bottom teeth!

On a shopping note, I went to a consignment sale at a church in Prattville and got Anderson 5 outfits and my fast approaching nephew Aaden some clothes all for $56!! I was so EXCITED! I won't put Aaden's clothes pics on here, because my SIL, Kelly reads this blog and I want it to be a surprise.

Brotherly Love

Gus, our beagle, was our charity case. I picked him up at the Elmore County Humane Society right before we moved to Montgomery. We already had Annabelle(our fat beagle). As I was driving, I felt compelled to stop at the shelter and low and behold...there he was! Somebody had brought him back who couldn't take care of him. Gus has been my little boy for the past 4 and one half years. He follows me everywhere! When Anderson was born, Gus was so jealous. He never growled or showed aggression, just sweet, quiet jealousy. Now, he has really learned to like Anderson and is Anderson's body guard. Anderson loves him too, he laughs at Gus and tries to put Gus' foot in his mouth! I love my two sweet boys!

Preparing for Harvard

This young man has become quite an interested reader! My friend, Shelley, bought him a book that you can touch and feel textures and he loves it! We read 3 books everynight in preparation for his college years at Harvard ;) No pressure...just want him to be president too! At least his name is a start, Anderson Hollon McCord. I think it's very presidential, don't you think so too?!

On the teething homefront, we have 2, yes count them 2, new top teeth! They are beautiful and have taken a little while (just 2 months) to come in. But they have arrived! I tried to get inside Anderson's mouth, but he would have NONE of that!
