Anderson Ryan Alexander {2 months}

As of January 2nd, Anderson is 2 months old. He has changed so much since the day he was born. He as doubled his weight and interacts much more now. His head control is impressive and he can lift his head off the floor when lying on his tummy. He regularly finds his hands and sucks on them. He is starting to sleep through the night. He will sleep for a five hour stretch, wakes up to nurse, and then he goes back down for another 3-4 hours. His eyes are still blue and seem to getting bluer. His hair is getting lighter. Here is our blond haired, blue eyed boy:

Snow Play

One dark and chilly night this family decided to enjoy this magical thing called snow. Now, don't get me wrong I am severely allergic to the snow. Once exposed, I break out in whines and cries all over. It's a terrible sight. But, for some reason, this one particularly snowy night was different. It was a little warmer for this time of year, which means it was like 32, and it was snowing really hard. I couldn't resist bringing Amar'e and Damien out to play in these huge flakes falling from the sky. Anderson must have inherited my allergy to the snow because he was less then thrilled at being bundled up and taken outside. Every time a flake would touch his face he would tense up and scream. He hated it….and I don't blame him. Damien and Amar'e loved it. Amar'e hadn't had much snow exposure because of my allergy but watching her, you would have never been able to tell. She took  to it without hesitation or resistance. It was so much fun watching Andrew, Amar'e and Damien play around in the snow. I wish I would have been able to take some pictures of us outside….but Anderson wouldn't allow it.

This is what it looked like the next morning after our night of snow play

Happy New Year!
