New Year 2015

Happy New Year! We didn't do anything special I am (although we were up at 12:20 to feed Anthony.) Last night we went to the Friars game and watched them win over Creighton in the first Big East game of the season.

Today we went to visit Matt's parents and sister for his dad's birthday and a belated Christmas. Anthony got even more new clothes and toys!

Here's to a wonderful year!

New Year's Eve

Letter from Santa

We left a letter on our door for Santa so that he would know that Anthony was at his grandparents' for Christmas. When we got home today, there was a note back from Santa!

Christmas 2014

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful day today with friends and family! Anthony got so many new clothes and toys and he was such a good baby!

My parents got him a Cozy Coupe, which I had when I was little. He loved being pushed around in it by his Aunt Olivia. Santa brought him a Tonka truck, a set of stacking tobbles, and wooden alphabet blocks. He loved playing with everything on the floor, although some of his toys seemed to entertain Olivia more than Anthony.

Here are some pictures from the day:

Size 3 Months

Last night, Matt and I went through Anthony's drawers and weeded out all of his 3 month sized clothes. I had ordered a couple new outfits from Carter's so we went through everything. He looks super cute in his new outfits!
