Forget Crawling

Zander has yet to crawl however last week he pulled himself up on a shelf at daycare. The teachers were amazed and had to take a picture! He loves standing next to things and hates being on his belly, maybe he hates being on the gross floor and rather be closer to the action.

We celebrated Tony's birthday Thursday (Earth day), oh wait we "celebrated" by going to Red Robin. Yep, it's official we are parents and going to kid friendly places, plus Tony loves the Banzi burger. Well except for the weekend of May 15th when we headed to Chicago to see a Cubs game at Wrigley field. That is what Tony got for his birthday. Of course we are spending the night conveniently on Michigan Ave so we can go shopping the next day!! I got him (us) tickets behind first base in the first row. I thought if I was going to a baseball game we might as well be as close as possible. May even catch a foul ball.


We are off to Portland in just a few days - we leave Thursday morning at 5:30 am. We are looking forward to seeing Kalli, Mark, Nathan, Tyler, AJ, Reese, Kurt, Gret, and Rory.

Here is another picture from daycare - Monday outside. As you can tell he loves being outside.

Finally, the semester is over!

Yes, the semester is over. This was the hardest semester yet, but with only two semesters left - four classes I am on the home stretch! No more three classes a semester. I have been done since Wednesday and enjoying every moment not worrying about homework! It's fantastic and even better I am finally getting caught up on my to do list.

This picture was taken this morning. He had just finished eating and he was whining because he likes to eat, but he was done. So I removed the tray and as he was whining I put the camera up to take a picture and he immediately stopped whining and started doing "so big!" Rory, notice he has on your favorite bib! :-) Thanks for giving that to him. We use it all the time.



This is Zander in the tub with a new toy from Aunt Teresa. He loves watching the water and lights appear. He plays with it at bath time!



Zander is enjoying the nice weather we are having. Today we sat outside supervising Tony pruning the bushes and trees. He even got some sun!


Tony and I are going on date night tonight! Zander is staying at Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Tom's house (my Mom & Stepdad). We are going out to dinner then heading to Sun Prairie for Casey's birthday celebration at a bar with a live band. Teresa will be taking pictures as we all know I am not good at posting pictures. So check her blog in a few days to see pictures!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

19 days (and counting) until we go to Portland!

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone enjoyed Easter. This is Zander from daycare last week.

I will post more later this week, once I am done with the semester. (Two more days!)
