St. Patrick's Day 2015

Happy St. Paddy's Day! We didn't do anything special for the day, other than all wear green! Matt and I both worked and Anthony was at daycare, but Nuggey got to be a leprechaun! They used his footprints in green paint to make leprechaun tracks around the daycare center for the older kids!

Valentine's Day 2015

Happy Valentine's Day! Today we went to lunch as a family at a new restaurant Matt and I wanted to try. Afterwards, we went to the mall to shop a little before the Friars game. The day before, we had exchanged our gifts: cards and candy for Matt and I and a card, balloon, and new toy for the Nugget.

9 Month Checkup

Today was Anthony's 9 month checkup with Dr. Eden, which came at the perfect time since yesterday he was sick at daycare. Dr. Eden says that Anthony is in great health, despite not gaining a lot of weight in the last three months. (He was sick with RSV and lost a little weight during that because his appetite plummeted.) He is right on track with everything (except for being a late teether) but of course has another ear infection. We requested amoxycillin right away since nothing else seems to work. Anthony didn't need any vaccinations this time, but got his second flu shot. We scheduled a follow up for the ear infection in two weeks and his 1 year appointment for May!!

• Ice cream! Mom and Dad share theirs with me and I love it: especially cookies and cream!
• Hitting toys together to make noise! Mom and Dad clap their hands and say "Yay Anthony!" and it makes me smile!
• Headbutting the cats when they come close to me! It's my way of saying I love them!
• Sitting in high chairs whenever Mom and Dad go out to eat! I get to play with my toys at the table!
• Snow! I love looking at it now that we have some, but it's been too cold to play in it.

Dislikes

• Getting taken out of the bathtub and being cold while Mom gets me ready for bed.
• Being put into my car seat, although I'm fine once I'm strapped into it.
• Taking long naps without Mom or Dad napping with me. I only sleep for 30 minute increments at daycare.
• Meeting new people without Mom or Dad being around.

Monthly Milestones

• I pull myself up to standing on everything! Mom and Dad bought me a push toy so I can practice walking soon!
• I sometimes crawl on my hands and knees, but I'm faster when I army crawl!
• I'm still teething and waiting for the teeth to cut through so I can start eating more table foods!
• I fall asleep in my crib all by myself at night and usually only wake up once!
• I'm going to start eating some of the lunch food at daycare!
