Summer Visitors

We had some friends and family come and visit this past week.  First John, a good friend that Jeff went to high school with in Canada, and his wife Jenni came from Minnisota to stay with us a night.

Then my parents drove in from Iowa the next morning and my brother Preston flew in from Ohio.

We all met up for dinner one night at Mom and Dad Larsons......

And during their visit, Anders had a blast play with uncle Preston....

Going for walks to the play park and getting wet at the local splash park with Grandma and Grandpa Judge....

And reading his favorite peek-a-boo book .....

It was so nice to have everyone visit.  We love you and miss you!

Scout You're a Good Dog!

This is a morning ritual for Anders.

Finding Scout to give her some loving......

Chasing her from room to room, sometimes grabbing her tail....

Mounting her like a horse (poor Scout, like the title says- she is a good dog)....

And then Scout running away (do you blame her)....

Anders- 15 Months

Last month Anders turned 15 months and had his doctors "well" visit.  In keeping up on documenting, here is an update on the little man and his stats.

• Height:  32.5 (90%)
• Weight:  22.4 (20-25%)
• Head:  19 (90%)
• Vaccinations:  Dtap, Hib, Hep A

His favorite foods currently are his morning drink- Pedisure, eggs, pears, cheese, yogurt, ketchup (he is into dipping), beans, yogurt, cookies, graham crackers, chicken drum-stick and french style green beans. His favorite activities are climbing, playing with balls, anything with Scout, swinging and sliding at the park, throwing things in the bathtub, playing in water bowels, "helping" mommy sweep.  He is waking up at 6:30 a.m., takes about two- 2 hour naps, and goes to bed at 7:30 p.m..  He is talking his own language (he will have a conversation with you speaking "Anders") of which we can make out Scout, Mama, Dada, and recently please.  He is a sweet boy, who can fall and scrape his knee without a tear, but if you scold him or take something away from him the tears will flow.  I feel so blessed to have such a great little guy.

Here is a recent creation by Uncle Erik with Anders climbing/riding Jeff's longboard.  With his long curly hair...it looks like we may have a future skater.
