8 Months with Anderson

I can't believe my baby is 8 months old already.  It's crazy how fast they grow up!  But it is so stinkin fun!  I just have more and more fun with Anderson as he grows and develops.  He has the cutest, happiest little personality!  I have people from the ward asking me all the time, "Does he ever cry?" "Is he ever not happy?"  Of course the answer to that is yes!  But really not very much!  So Jerry and I are pretty much planning on our next child being a handful because we got it easy with Anders.
Anderson still hates tummy time and makes pretty much no attempts to crawl.  He looks around for a minute then just lays his head down.  Whatever.  He is a good little stander though.  He could play with his standing toys all day long!  He also loves pulling himself up from sitting to standing with my arm.  He'll pull himself up, let go and stand there for a few seconds, sit down, and do it all over again and again and again.  It apparently makes him feel pretty cool.  It's pretty darn cute.  He gets himself up and standing then just looks to me for approval and excitement.



Anders has 5 teeth now.  He occasionally bites me and it hurts like the dickens!  He has no idea when I'm getting mad at him though.  He just stares at me blank faced then smiles.  Little turd.  He occasionally grinds his little teeth together and it makes me cringe and feel icky.  I sure hope that doesn't last!!
We had a great Thanksgiving with the Rohos!  The whole family was together for Thanksgiving dinner and it was wonderful.  We went ice skating that weekend and had a blast.  Ray played hockey and did a lot of ice skating up in Canada as a kid, so he loves going skating with the family.  Jared and I always love when our family's visit from out of town!


I got to go see one of my very favorite bands in concert, The Sounds.  They were doing a 10 year reunion tour of their Dying To Say This To You album.  Kelse and I were so excited!!  We were at the concert 10 years ago as well!  I believe it was our fourth time seeing them and I hope it's not the last!  I would be in heaven if I got to go to Sweden (where they're from) to see them in concert!  I'll keep dreaming.  It was a fantastic show.  I really didn't care for the two opening bands, but The Sounds were stellar!

For Halloween we decided to dress up as Mario characters.  So I was obviously Princess Peach and Jerry was Mario.  We decided to dress Anderson up as Toad.  Jerry was the brains behind the Toad hat.  It turned out pretty cute.

Here are some more happenings.
Grandpa's 85th birthday party.  It was of course western themed and included
a mechanical bull.  We had a good time.
