22 Months Old!

Anderson,

I can't believe you are 22 months old. In two short months we will be celebrating your 2nd birthday! Your Daddy and I have already been talking about your party and what theme you would love. These days you love trains, police cars, fire engines, planes, cars, motorcycles - a transportation party perhaps?!
You are talking up a storm these days (mostly in Spanish) and love pointing everything out. You have started putting two or three words together. You now tell me what you want to do. Usually it involves "el parque", going to the park! You have graduated from the "tot lot" to the big kid park. Last week when we were there you were trying to play ball with two older kids probably around 5 years old. One of them asked you what your name was and my jaw dropped when you looked at him and said "Andy". I did not have to prompt you, you just went ahead and said it proudly all on your own. I always ask you your name in Spanish so I was shocked that you knew what he was asking you! You refer to yourself as Andy all the time now. Although we call you Anderson, you still seem to prefer Andy since it is easy to say. I wonder if this nickname will stick!
You still have a very healthy appetite and will try almost anything. You love your milk, sweet potato, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, nuggets, mac n cheese, broccoli with cheese and rice, and soup just to name a few things. You also have a BIG sweet tooth. Just like Mommy you appreciate the sweet treats I give you on occasion. You especially love ice cream. You've called it Elmo for a while now (I guess helado and Elmo sound kind of similar?!) but are now starting to say helado.
I can't wait to see you as a big brother. You love other kids so much and you already point to my tummy all the time and say baby. I know you are going to love your little brother or sister so much.

We love you!

Love,
Mommy

Here are a few clips taken this past month!

Happy Father's Day!

Here are pictures of Anderson and his best friend. My favorite part of the day is watching how excited he gets when Daddy walks through our front door every night.










Happy Father's Day Dan! We love you!

Westport, Connecticut


The past two weekends we've gotten to spend a lot of time with Miss Foley! Geoff and Emily rented a house in Westport, CT for 2 weeks which is about an hour away from the city. Last weekend they had a BBQ for her birthday and this weekend we returned to spend some more time at their beautiful rental!

Working on sharing :)


Sweet Foley

Cheese! It's my birthday!

Best buds!
Grocery shopping at Stew Leonard's - a fun experience!
Loved having these two snuggled on my lap!
Beautiful view from the top deck
Enjoying coffee and bubbles :)

The weather was beautiful! A perfect beach day

Life is good when you get to enjoy babas and snacks on the beach :)


Thanks for having us King family! We are looking forward to more beach time with you all over the 4th!

Bounce U

Last Tuesday we headed to Bounce U in the morning with the Schneider family! This was Anderson's first time bouncing on a moon bounce and he had so much fun! He looked like such a big boy bouncing away. He was exhausted when we left and took the best nap afterwards.

Pool Time!


During our trip to VA last week Anderson was reintroduced to the pool. He had a quick swim while we were in Florida but it didn't last long. This visit, he enjoyed the pool every day. He LOVES the water!

Eating his breakfast while watching Ello take his morning swim.


He learned how to count to three in spanish and then scoot off the edge on tres.
TRES!
So happy!
