Happy birthday to AJ






Anderson is one month old today! I can not believe how quickly it has gone by. He is getting so big, today we went to the doctor (the train doctor as Nathan calls it-because they have trains in the waiting room) and AJ weighed in at a whooping 10lbs 12oz (76%). He is growing tall too, 22 1/2 inches now (83%), it looks like he will be tall like grandpa Anderson. His head is now 14 1/2in (22%)- I don't think that Nathans head has ever been in the 20th percentile (maybe it is now, I just don't know).
Anderson continues to be a happy baby- when he is awake (obviously when he is sleeping too but he spends the majority of his time asleep). It's a rough life, but apparently that is when he does his growing. AJ loves to take a bath, he just lays there quietly and watches. Nathan used to cry at the top of his baby lungs, maybe AJ will like to swim more than Nate. And his hair! It isn't falling out yet, and I hope it says that way. It is so cute, but it is getting long. He might need his first haircut before he turns 3 months.
Nathan is doing very well with his little brother. He likes to bring him blankets and his pacifier, he is a good helper. When AJ is awake Nathan says "aww, he's looking at me" or "aww, he likes me". It is pretty sweet.
We love having baby AJ in our family! Happy one month!

I am very happy AJ is in our family also. Glad he is growing strong and healthy. I am glad that AJ likes his big brother. (though he might not be big for long.)
Love to all.
