We moved...

I've been a little behind on things lately!! We finally moved to Washington...here's our new address:

7526 89th Ave SE, Unit B
Snohomish, WA 98290

We are renting a place in Snohomish for the next few months while we get settled. I'll update our address when we buy something (hopefully in Seattle) this spring. Life is good and we are really loving being closer to family. More to come...I'll try to get caught up on what's been happening.

A lot more happened in June...

I haven't been posting much lately but it's not for lack of content...we've been busy lately wrapping up things in Colorado. Here's a snapshot of what else happened in June:

• Robin's last day of work at The Joshua School on June 10th;
• Brad's last shift of EM residency on June 26th;
• lots of going away parties for the Talley family;
• Anderson broke his elbow;
• Brad graduated from Denver Health EM Residency Program;
• trip to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs with friends;
• and Anderson had surgery on his elbow.

Running...

I've been trying to get back into running like I was before Anderson...I've done a pretty good job but I don't get to run as much as I used to and somehow the extra 30 minutes of sleep sound much better in the morning than hitting pavement. I did run in the huge 10K BoulderBoulder race last month and finished with a PR! I was pretty excited.

Anderson is getting the running bug too...he found my shoes in the closet and put them on all by himself...then, came stumbling out of our room. I grabbed the video camera as quick as possible...sorry for the wobbly nature of the video.

Body Parts

You must think Anderson spends all of his time in the bathtub based on all of the bath time videos I post. However, its really one of the only times I can capture his full attention so it turns out to be a great place to capture videos as well. Anderson has known quite a few body parts for awhile now but he's been adding to the ones he know almost weekly. He's currently working on butt!!

Tiny bubbles...

Brad taught Anderson to blow bubbles in the bath tub last night. He picked up on it really quickly and thought it was pretty funny too! This video is hillarious...hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

First Haircut

Anderson got his first haircut!! He had been sporting a mullet for a couple of week and I just couldn't bare it any longer. He did great!! Our good friend, Julie, cut his hair at her salon...Hair People. She is GREAT with kids!!

Playing, singing, talking, and eating...

Playing: Above all else, Anderson LOVES to be outside!! This morning he sat for an hour while Brad was weeding...just diggin in the dirt and pulling on the weeds. He has also been loving a bunch of toys that he got for his birthday in February. Here is a video of him riding on the bee Brad and I got him. Before we left for South Africa he couldn't figure out how to get on it by himself. Now...he's a pro.

Talking: Anderson started talking a lot more when we were in South Africa. He can say all kinds of things but his favorite word is still "Bella"!! He loves Bella!! It's usually the first thing he says when he wakes up. Other words he's been hooked on...turtle, pee pee, no, duck, mama, dada, ball, balloon, bird, baba, etc. He will point to his nose, mouth, ears, eyes, and, of course, his pee pee. He loves music and his mama's voice (yes...believe it or not...he loves it when I sing to him). His favorite song is itsy bitsy spider. He also started signing and saying "more". Here's a couple of videos to enjoy!

Eating: He is getting to be so good with his fork. He just needs a little help piercing the foods. He's eating quite a wide variety of foods now and today he even got an apple out of the fridge and starting chowin down. I was pretting impressed with how much of it he actually ate. We have a harder time with meat...so he's still eating a little bit of baby food so that he gets enough protein each day. He love mandarin oranges!! Which is kind of funny because I couldn't get enough of them when I was pregnant. Here's a video of him using his fork to eat the oranges.
