Anderson wore it to church a few weeks ago and after the service we were invited to lunch by a fellow church member to one of the clubs around. VERY nice invitation, but my plan was to get him home and out of the outfit before eating lunch! I was paranoid the entire time that he was going to get something on it and it was going to be stained/ruined! That did not happen, but I sure was sweating it!

Tuesdays With Big Daddy.
An attempt at a swimming lesson!
Of course the shower is more entertaining!
First taste of watermelon--the child ate his weight in it!

The Nona and Granddaddy Show!
Love this face!
With his da (we can't get dada)!
Singing to Anderson!
Is this guy for real?
Here they are making the grand exit! All part of the show----they have the top down at the beach! Actually, that they have a convertible at all is fantastic and I something I never expected! Next time I am going to see if they will let their favorite daughter-in-law take it for a spin (oh, and Brad is an only child!) Details, details :)

Forever Young.
I had intended on keeping him rear facing as long as possible, and it turns out that a year was all I was going to get. He was running out of space so we made the switch. He really likes to ride and when I look in the rear view mirror he is just looking out the window most of the time.
My favorite part is that his little personality is really starting to show through. He does have his moments, but most of the time you will catch him smiling :) It is so much fun to play with him and introduce him to new things. He is learning so much so quick I have taken some recent advice (Kelly, you leave some of the best comments!) and have tried to focus more on the firsts. After all, he won't be young forever!
I also made a trip to the MD this week and I am happy to report that my foot is completely healed and the orthopaedic surgeon said I do not have to wear the post-op shoe anymore! That was music to my ears. That thing was seriously starting to irritate me! Only restrictions now are no running (um, not a problem b/c it is doubtful you would catch me doing that anyway!) and no high impact sports like tennis for a month. He did mention, with a smile, that I should still need help w/ cooking, cleaning, and childcare. I would settle for a pedicure :)

My Birthday Boy!
In the meantime, I have found my mind wandering thinking if it is possible that he has gone from this........
In just 1 short year???!!!
Happy Birthday Buster...we love you :)

A Trip Back...
The first stop of the trip was to Meme Love's house, who lives just outside of Charleston. We got to visit with Meme twice in 2 days since she treated everyone to lunch on Thursday in celebration of daddy's birthday. I will post pictures of that event when I get my hands on some of the pictures taken!
Then it was off to do some shopping and then meet up with our friends Rob and Ginny and their son Ford who is just shy of 2 weeks younger than Anderson (we visited with them back in November--click here for the post). They were (and still are!) some of our good friends when we lived in Mt. Pleasant. They so graciously hosted us in their home Friday night and showed us exactly what we are missing out on not living there anymore :)
