In the past four months since I last blogged, we've had a lot of fun. Christmas was a blast. We spent Christmas with my family this year. Everyone was in town except for Kyle's family. We had the usual Christmas party with the Anderson family and Bobs came out in his Santa get up as always. We love the tradition, Bobs is too cute.
We had a family ski day up at Sundance. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately Jerry broke his thumb which resulted in surgery. My sweet hubs has bad luck in the winter months (falling from the roof/ladder putting up Christmas lights last year resulting in a concussion and broken back). He was quite entertaining as the anesthesia wore off. I knew it was Jerry coming down the hall after surgery when I heard someone singing "Oreo, oreo" (Wreck it Ralph). Then for the next 30+ minutes he talked about cheese, root beer, oreos, and more cheese. Bless his heart.
At 9 months, Anderson was finally on the charts for height and weight! He weighed 17.11 (15%), 27 inches long (5%), and his head circumference was 43.3 inches (83%). He's a fun, sweet, flirty, happy little bugger. We love him to pieces!
We got invited to a BBQ with some friends that just happened to be on Anderson's first birthday. In my mind, it was perfect. I didn't feel the need to do a big birthday party, Anders would have no idea what's going on anyway, but it also felt weird to do nothing. So this was perfect, a get together that was happening anyway. I just made a little birthday cake and bought some birthday hats for the kids and tacked on a little celebration to the get together. Then the following Sunday, Nana did a birthday party with the fam for Anders, so he got double celebrations.
Jerry and I had the chance to go see Broadway's The Lion King at Eccles Theater. This is my all time favorite play! And it's my favorite Disney movie. I've seen it before, but I was SO excited to see it again and I was excited for Jerry to see it! It was a wonderful night, and I of course was thrilled with the performance and may have cried, multiple times, during it.
I sure love my sweet little family. Anderson has really been such a sweet, happy boy. I don't know why I got so lucky to have such an easy child, but I'll take it! Let's hope that continues! And I couldn't have asked for a better husband to be by my side! He's so amazing to me and he's such a good daddy to Anders! So many men kind of sit on the sidelines while the woman takes care of and raises the children, but not Jerry! He is with Anders the whole day long twice a week while I'm at work. He takes Anders to church by himself every other week while I'm at work. He really truly rocks at this whole dad thing and our children are and will be very blessed to have such a fun, loving, and involved daddy. I love Jerry Roho!
