Remiss

I have been really bad about taking pictures, we didn't take ONE over Christmas. This is Anthony last week, playing with a gift that he LOVES that may or may not be from my friends Chuck and Jim. If it were from my friends Chuck and Jim, they should congratulate themselves on what great gift givers they are because he loves this thing.

TV

Watching TV.

Peekaboo

Biscotti

My mother gave him a little bit of her biscotti the other day, we ended up having to get her another one since Anthony absconded hers.

Halloween

My brother Larry just sent me these pictures, we went to his house on Halloween night. They are super cute, I think Anthony looks like my niece and nephew, Moira and Aidan, when they were little. Aidan looks about 15 in these pictures, though, which is upsetting as he's ten.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

New movie:

Ladies Love Cool Anthony

Anthony dancing to LL Cool J. Laura was over tonight, and maybe he was trying to impress her, because I have never seen him dancing like this, it was adorable.

Flour

Sometimes I can't believe I'm expected to spend my whole day with this fool.

Laundry

Beatles

We bought him a new shirt this weekend and I was trying to get a picture of it but I didn't do too well. He is a pain to take a picture of.

Saturday

He is wearing the medal that he got at the end of his Toddler & Me class, he loves it. He was soaking wet when I went in to get him this morning (at 6:15, he got up at 5:47) so I changed him in the dark into his "Dogpatch" clothes. We are going out this morning, hoping that by keeping him busy maybe he'll take a good nap and then sleep a little better. It feels like we are starting over with this sleeping thing and we are not happy about it. He's watching Go! Baby! in these pictures, it's a mini-show on Disney that he loves - like he goes crazy with happiness when it's on.

He'll be 18 months old a week from today. He says Daddy, Mama, dog, shoes, bye bye, hi, beep, eat, hot, cat, ball, and NO, among other things. He can tell you that a cow moos, a sheep baas and a dog woofs. He still prefers to sign baby, milk and shoes. We don't go to his 18 month checkup until the 22nd, I'll post his stats then. If I don't post things here, I'm finding, I don't write them anywhere, as his baby book I had for him only goes through one year.

Cheerios

Wednesday Morning

Mike took these.

Short video

Sunday

This child. He is crazy about bread, he pulled this entire loaf off of the island, and a giant bread knife with it. Mike and he just left and he had the bread with him. He'll probably finish it.

Saturday

Saturday we took Anthony to the deli for breakfast, where he ate an ENTIRE pancake! He was bad, though - at the deli, your food comes up in about two seconds and we still had to beat it out of there because he was freaking out. He did well up until the end, but we couldn't go anywhere else and get our food that fast, except maybe McDonald's or something. Then we went to the mall before it opened and Anthony ran around for a while, bugging the mall walkers that were there. One older woman said to me, "I'm going to steal him", and I said "go ahead, but I'm guessing you'd return him after about an hour". He had a good day yesterday, a good nap, and slept well last night. All that with his football team losing, too!

Chair

Christmas outfit

I ordered our Christmas cards the other day and this isn't the picture but isn't it cute?

Sleeping

These are old pictures I found today - he hasn't taken a nap for two days in a row this week, so it was nice to see him sleeping.
