Our Hippie Child

Though we've been talking about it for months now, it is becoming more and more obvious that Munch needs a bit of a trim. He hasn't had an official haircut yet, but watch for a more shorn 'do in the weeks to come...



To escape the Austin (100 degree) heat, we ventured to San Antonio a few weeks ago to bake in their (100 degree) heat :) We packed in a visit to the Alamo, Sea World, Children's Museum, and a pretty interesting/gripping outing to Ripley's Believe It or Not. I haven't been to a place like that in ages. But there's still something grotesquely appealing about all the weird stuff people do...

Anderson made some new friends at the Children's Museum...

And learned his way around an udder...
The real winners were the fish. He got very excited and started squealing loudly when he saw them swimming around.
Anderson also had his first swim in the hotel pool. He braved the floaties well - and tolerated the size 3T swimsuit (his belly 'demands' a larger size!).
At the Alamo, there was a generous individual who was giving out hugs - for FREE! Oddly, no one was accepting his kind offer...

At Sea World, Jason did the daddy thing and won Anderson a little Shamu...



The following Friday (last Friday), Jason left for a 8 day trip to Montana with the boys...leaving Munchie/I to fend for ourselves. We went to a baby shower on Saturday and another summer party on Sunday at the most unbelievably nice house...fountains, 20 ft ceilings, stone floors - a relative castle...


Luckily Jason came home today and we are back to a family again. Yay, no more single parenting! Anderson has been walking around with his toy walker. We'll see how he progresses to the real deal in the next few weeks.

On another note, friends Jennifer & James had their daughter Callista this evening - many congratulations on a super fast labor and happy/healthy baby!! We're anticipating some cute pictures :)
