Anderson's 1st Birthday Party

Anderson's birthday party turned out great. It was a bug-themed party. I made him the cutest caterpillar cake ALL BY MYSELF! I am so proud. And my mom and I decorated the bug cupcakes. It was adorable. He even had a bug outfit to wear! There were tons of people there (like 40) so he got lots of presents and opened most of them by himslef. He got a little tired of it after a while though. Here are some pics for you to see.

Just to say hi

This is a cute shot of Anderson from his 11 month photo shoot. I cannot believe he will be a one year old in just 2 weeks. Crazy. He is still doing really well. Took a few steps (more like 1 and a half) today on his own which was a big deal for all of us. He stands all by himself like a big boy and grins from ear to ear as he does it b/c he feels so independent! Lee and I took him to this really neat toy store this afternoon and he had a blast. I think I found something of me that he has- I won't call it OCD, its just that he "has a need for everything to be in its place." He cruised around all of the play tables and picked up any toys from the floor and put them back on the tables. Lee was cracking up and told me that I should stop teaching him how to clean so that he doesn't become neurotic. I didn't see anything wrong with the situation. :) Thats about all thats going on in the Leinwetter household. We have been religiously watching the bball tourney, updating our brackets and cheering on the Jayhawks hoping for a Final 4 appearance so that we can take a trip to SA!!! We'll see!

Happy Easter!

For Easter, I sported a seersucker sport coat and a cute hat. Here I am at the dinner table ready to eat.

I wore my hat pretty much all day.

AJ tried to put a silly bunny hat on me. I didn't like it very much.

Here I am with the Andersons.

Happy Easter!

I got to see both sides of my family this Easter. Here I am with the Leinwetters.

This is me and my cousin Kaya. WE got some cute hats from aunt Nancy.

Great Gpa Bryan thought we were the cutest things he ever did see.

After entertaining the crowd, I was so pooped.

Happy Brithday AJ

We got to celebrate AJ's bday with her on the actual day. How fun!

at the library with Great Gma Enid

Mom and Dad took me and great gma Enid to the library. I loved playing in the big book bin. I dove right in face first!

Ribs!!

Nothing like some good old fashion ribs to fill a boy's tummy. When I first tasted the ribs, I took a bite and then looked up at mom with a HUGE grin from ear to ear.

She wouldn't give me too much b/c I guess this isn't really for babies. Who cares!!!

Macy was right under my chair ready to pick up anything I dropped. :)
