One year check-up

Double A is the man! Today AA went for his one year check up. At the check up he had to give blood. Did this scare him? Why no!!! He watched as the RN pricked his finger and placed his blood in the vile. Not a peep, not wimper, and not a flinch was felt. He did great. However, when he recieved his shots, he let out an awful scream. It seemed to be the result of being held down more than the shot itself. The results of the measurements are as follows. He is in the 65th percentile in height (30 1/4 inches), 50th percentile in weight (23lbs) , and the 90th percentile in head size (does it really matter). My son has a big brain!!! All in all, mom, dad, and son had a successful trip to the doctor. Check back for the on going saga of learning to walk.

About the Anderson's

Well it might be obvious that I have a son. The other and better half of my life is my wife, Rachel. We have been married for over half of a decade. We went to high school together but never dated there. Some how, and by the grace of GOD, we crossed paths a few years out of high school and struck up a friendship that keeps our marriage happy and alive. We have our moments but we are continually learning about each other daily. I am truly blessed by her companionship and love.

Learning to Walk

Wow! What an exciting time we are experiencing. Recently, our son took his first couple of solo steps. Now we can't wait for him to master the the skill and start exploring the house from a new perspective. Bumps and bruises are plentiful and we are sure that more will follow. It is a real joy to be a parent and go through this with him as he discovers the world.

Bring on the New Year

2007! Doesn't scare us one bit. Our son is one, our house is built, and we are very close to graduating from graduate school. If you know us, we are always doing something. We will see what the future holds. Keep in touch.
