We made it!

This has been a week of accomplishments in this Haynie household.
On the 15th, Anderson turned 7 months old!
I asked him if he felt any older, he just said "Da Da Da Da."
We are proud to report that he can now get in the "plank position."
He gets on his hands and knees constantly, but so far has only succeeded in moving one knee forward.
His Grandma A bought these teething crackers to keep him busy while we were eating dinner.
Here are his thoughts on that:

"Whoah! What did you just put in my mouth?"
"Do I like it? Hmmm...let me think..."

"This is the best day of my life!!! I love this stuff!"
(Notice the extreme mess that is all over him...it was also all over the floor.)

In other news:
We just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary!
We started out the day with some yummy pancakes.
Check out Curt's beautiful artwork:
(It says I heart you, incase you can't tell! :) )

Curtis planned a great evening out for us.
Grandma A put baby to bed while we went out on the town in downtown Raleigh.
We left the apartment and I found the car full of a beautifully wrapped bag of gifts and a bouquet of flowers!
He made reservations at a very nice restaurant downtown.
It was very yummy!
We then just spent some time walking around and finding fun places to take pictures of ourselves.

He looks like he's straight out of Singin' in the Rain!

They just renovated an entire section of downtown Raleigh and there are so many cool things now. This is a random wall with a bunch of lights on it.

Look closely. Can you find Curtis in this picture?
He is using his powers to make the water rise out of the fountain!

You can find some pretty interesting people on the streets of Raleigh...

And here we go...walking forward in our lives together...

It seems like we have been married a lot longer than 2 years.
We have enjoyed pretty much every moment of it... :)
In lieu of the season, we are so thankful that we have each other and little Anderson.
We are definitely blessed to have such a great marriage and family!

Anderson has survived 7 months of life, and we have survived 2 great years of marriage...and now we look forward to our futures together!

Finally!

(I can't figure out how to get my font working correctly bc there is a baby in my lap trying to eat a USB cord as I post this)
I know it's been a while...we've been a little busy with school, work, the appearance of a little tooth, and the appearance of another little tooth. This teething process is just so much fun, let me tell you! The little dude looks so darn cute with the 2 little teeth poking out, though. Unfortunately for me, along with teeth and solid foods comes less dependence on mommy! Ande has taken it upon himself to ween from breastfeeding. I thought I would be jumping for joy when this happened, but I'm so sad! Luckily, he is still totally and completely a "mama's boy." For now.

His Daddy, however, never fails to make him laugh and give him a good time. Especially in the bath!
"Rock and Roll!"

Baby Mozart?

And here we are, the long awaited Halloween pictures! We of course think Ande is the cutest Tigger of all time, so we took him to the ward Trunk or Treat basically just to show him off. Once there, we found Ande was one of several cute little Tiggers and we ended up feeling a little out of place. What is there to do at a Trunk or Treat when your kid can't walk or eat candy?


We also took Ande to a pumpkin patch on Friday before Halloween. All the good pumpkins were already taken, the only ones left had a bunch of warts all over them. We decided to have a photo shoot with Ande anyways.
It started out good...
Until he realized there were leaves on the ground all around him. For some reason Ande thinks leaves are delicious because this is not the first time that he has ingested one, or two.

Once we tried to pry the leaves out of his cheeks and fingers, the rest of the pictures ended up like this:

On Halloween we took Ande Trick or Treating, but only to his Grandparent's and then his Great Granny's houses. We sat him on their porches, rang the door bell, and then we hid. They thought it was pretty funny when they opened the door and little Tigger was all they saw!
