Piano Man

As I have mentioned before, mornings are busy and full of independent time in our house. This morning, while getting his lunch together, I heard Anders "playing" his piano and signing. He got a little shy when he saw my camera, but was willing to sing his song again when I asked.

Oh, Mexico!

We just returned from a warm, sunny and fun filled trip to Puerto Vallarta with Cheryl and John. Anders has been so excited about going to Mexico for months. He even has been known, mid-tantrum, to throw himself on the ground and say "I want to go to Mexico." Finally, his wait was over. 

Smiling like the cat who ate the canary, Anders managed to sleep with Ryan and I in this great big bed at some point on most nights. Quite the happy kid!

Doodah and Anders walking on the Malecon. 

Crossing over from Old Town to the Zona Romantica. 

Enjoying dinner on the beach!

Safe in his life jacket, Anders loved the boat ride we took to Yalapa. (It's also really cute when he says "Yalapa".)

We were all pretty happy on that boat. 

He loved his sand tools and digging on the beach. 

Despite the loud music and all the noise, Anders passed out on the boat ride home. 

Nana/Cheryl getting some sun. 

Anders REALLY wanted to play tennis (our balcony overlooked the clay courts), so we took him down and played "hand tennis" since we didn't have rackets. 

Passed out and Kristin exhausted as we headed home. Despite us thinking he was a handful, the woman behind us was so impressed with how good he was that she offered us a bag of M and M's for him. We declined knowing that the addition of candy wouldn't help our cause. 

Sunny Sunday

After Kristin being gone all week, we all needed a quiet weekend at home with nothing to do but hang out with each other and catch up on chores. Here a couple of moments from our Sunday.

Most mornings Anders sits on the counter and "helps" while I ready our breakfast. On Sunday he perched a half a lemon on a cup and licked it like a ice cream cone. The kid likes lemons!

Anders has been very interested in golfing since visiting a golf course with Ryan. Ryan, being the sweet dad that he is, cut down and re-gripped clubs to fit Anders. Since then, they have been playing in the yard whenever it's sunny. 

Geeking out with slo-mo again. His swing is pretty good!

And, Kristin at 21 weeks pregnant.

No Pants Egg Hunt

Our egg hunt took place directly after and epically long toilet sitting/reading session (we had some success!). So, we decided to keep things diaper free in the case that nature called. He is also sporting his spring crown, an Easter gift from LeAnn and Adela. Cute!
