Have you seen my son?

Missing: 3.5 year old boy, approx 38" tall, 32#. great smile and laugh. Last seen approximately 2 months ago. In his place a boy who whines, cries and does everything opposite his parents ask was left. If you have seen the real Anderson - please return ASAP. Mom and dad miss him.

4 months!

I feel like a broken record -but it is insane how fast the second time around goes.  Waverly is 4 months old today! 11/13 Update:

Waverly continues to grow at a snails pace. Like brother, like sister. At 4 months she is a whopping 11lbs 14oz (8 percentile) and 23.5" long.  She's very proportional and that's all that matters. 

We've had a big month. Waverly attended her first playoff games - including the World Series! What a lucky little baby.  She was rocking her panda costume while Panda (Pablo) hit a historic 3 home runs in one game.  Of course her big brother will be insanely jealous when he gets older and realizes he didn't get to go. Sorry, Anderson, Waverly was free and mom &  dad only have two seats anyway.

Waverly can hold her head up really well, doing her baby pushups.  She's constantly drooling and trying to get things in her mouth. She reaches out to grab anything and everything and her smile and belly laugh keeps us entertained.  Sleep, well, that has been elusive this month.  We've been passing a cold around for what seems like 2-3 weeks so that hasn't helped out.  Now I think she's in a bit of a habit about getting up and having a little snack.  It's been getting better since she's less stuffed up, but I have a cold so it's kinda hurting me!  

Four Months old!

Great Cause

This isn't a fun post by any means - it's meant to inform.  You may have read about a horrible incident in NYC a couple a weeks ago involving a nanny and two children.  As a parent, it just shook me to the core.  Even more so because the father is a friend, former coworker, and a mentor to Brian. Since it happened I've tried to really be present with the kids and just sucking it all in and really trying to be patient at all times.  Life is so precious and you never know what's next. 

At the memorial service it was announced that a memorial fund was set up to honor the children.  If you have some extra cash and are looking for a place to put it to good use, please consider the Lulu & Leo Fund.  The Lulu & Leo Fund’s purpose is to raise money to assist in children’s education and enrichment programs in schools, museums and other community institutions. The focus will be primarily, but not exclusively, on funding participatory art and science education for young children.
