Snow Day!

Today was supposed to be a teacher work-day, so I was planning a lunch date with Anderson and my mom.  However, it is still a welcome snow day!  Anderson woke up hungry around 5:30, but then was happy to sleep in until 8:15- woo hoo!  Those mornings are few and far between. :)

Since the forecast is back up to the 70's this week, it is very likely that this is the last (and practically first) snow of the winter.  The tags were still on Anderson's snow suit, but we decided to get all bundled up and head out to the snow while we could!

It was bright and pretty cold, but Anderson was a good sport.  He had two fuzzy boots on, but one was already missing by the time we made it down the stairs.  Oh well, no running in the snow today!

 After a few "accidental snow angel attempts", we headed inside. 

New tricks

7 1/2 months- Anderson is so much fun these days!!

He is an excellent roller, specializing in all directions. Sometimes he has a clear destination (most likely something that rattles when you shake it). And sometimes he's definitely rolling just because he can. Now that he's even rolling in his sleep, I think he's officically a pro.

Action shot ;)

He's so proud!

Also, my FAVORITE of Anderson's new tricks is smoochin.  He has received thousands of kisses from mommy in his little life, let alone daddy, grandparents, etc.  Recently McKenzie and Sadie have laid a couple of good ones on him (which he does not seem to mind).  So he's decided to return the favor.  It's drooly and wonderful :)  God is so generous!

Anderson is trying lots of new foods.  Oatmeal and rice cereal are favorites, along with carrots and pears.  It takes him a little while to warm up to most any new taste.  So far, Puffs are a definite no-go.  I've tried them twice, breaking one Puff up into 6  itty bitty pieces to give to his toothless self.  The reaction is somewhere between mad and sad :(.  This second time we knew we'd better get a picture of it.  Poor thing.
