First Class Traveler

It's been almost 6 weeks since our last blog. Time flies when you're having fun!  At the beginning of the month we traveled to London for a week.  Bri and I attended a wedding of a close college friend and brought along Bri's mom, Sunny, so we could enjoy ourselves without having to find babysitting services. It was a great decision. I'm not sure we had been out that much in years, forget about just since having a child.

Anderson was champ and continues to travel without a hitch.  The 10+ hour direct flight to London was long but he was very well behaved there and back.  The hardest part of the trip was the first day. We left SFO at 1pm and arrived at LHR at 7:30am.  Needless to say as the day progressed we were exhausted.  We thought we could just put Anderson down for a nap at his regular time, but no he was having none of that.  Mom and Dad struggled the most with this no nap situation. Then like clockwork he went to bed at 7pm.  It was a great trip - too bad Anderson won't remember any of it when he grows up!

In other news, Anderson now runs. Mom, Dad and Evita are tired. Evita, however, needs to start running. She's been getting a lot of extra food courtesy of A throwing it off the side of his highchair. Needless to say Evita is a little chubbier than normal. Anderson still doesn't talk much, in fact there are some words he was saying before such as "anana" (banana) that we haven't heard in a long time.  It concerns me a little bit, but then again the words he does say - dada, daddy, doggie, hi, more - have become very clear and refined. He still doesn't call me anything..boo. At this point I'd take him calling me lady. Pity party over - he runs to me to give me hug or belly flops on me if I'm laying on the floor. He's a ham and cracks me up.
