Weird Noises

This is a short clip of some "weird noises" that I have been making. Mom and dad really seem to think that I am funny when I am making these noises. Dad thinks I sound like a frog.

I'm Crawling - Move This!

I'm really on the move now! Starting at the beginning of December, I figured out this crawling thing. This is a lot better than pulling myself with my arms. I can get into lots of trouble now. Watch out Madison! As you can see she is already picking fights!

Echo!

I really enjoy making noises with my lips and tongue. Recently, I found that those songs are even more interesting when I can create an echo with one of toys. Check it out!

Future Badger Football Fan

One of my favorite activities is to bounce in my activity center. Dad figures it is preparation for attending Badger football games when I am older. Enjoy watching a typical experience of me in one of my favorite places.

I Like To Move It

Starting back in October I started to become more mobile. As you can see in this video, that was taped on October 24, I mastered the rolling over thing and progressed to getting up on my knees and attempting to crawl. Since then I have managed to drag myself forward from this position. I can get to all my toys (and Madison's too) very quickly. Mom and dad have mixed feelings about how soon they want me to crawl. I think I will wait till the Christmas tree is up so I can pull on some branches!

My First Eats

Hello Everyone! I'm back. Dad has been a slacker since he went back to work; however, I have convinced him it is time to blog again. In this video you can witness my first attempt at eating real solid foods (not just grains). On September 1, mom and dad decided I should try some peas! I ate the peas, but I was not overly excited about them. Over the last few months I have really taken to fruits and vegetables and I now eat three times a day. A big shout out to mom who has prepared all my meals! She is certainly a whiz with that blender.

My First Vacation

This past weekend, mom, dad, and I took our first family vacation. Mom wanted to go on a road trip before dad had to go back to work. After much deliberation, mom and dad decided to go to Galena, IL and Dubuque, IA. Also on the way home we also stopped at Blue Mounds State Park in Blue Mounds, WI. Before I show you some videos of the trip, I wanted to give a shout out to my aunt Kelly and my new uncle Jon for watching Madison during our road trip.

Galena, IL

Our first stop was in Galena, IL. We stayed at the Chestnut Mountain Resort which was just out of town. While in Galena we walked around the town, did some shopping, walked on the Galena River Walkway, and went swimming at the resort. I really enjoyed swimming all three days! Mom says it is in the Anderson blood to love the water. Enjoy the video of our experiences in Galena. The music in the video is from a CD that mom and dad had made for me at a store called Poopsies.



Dubuque, IA

We also went to Dubuque, IA for an afternoon. We spent our entire time in Dubuque at the Port of Dubuque. We first ate at the Dubuque Star Restaurant and Ultra Lounge in the Star Brewery Building and then went for a walk on the Mississippi Riverwalk. At the end of the riverwalk was the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium. I got to see lots of neat fish, reptiles, animals, and river boats. The Diamond Jo casino was also on the riverwalk. Dad wanted to go, but apparently I am not quite old enough.



Blue Mounds State Park

Our last stop was a quick break at the Blue Mounds State Park in Blue Mounds, WI. We picked this scenic park to stop and take a break from driving. I also needed to eat. Dad took some quick pictures while we were there. He also promised to take me camping there some day.
