Anderson has been a self-made vegetarian since birth. He hates meat and won't even eat a chicken nugget (not for me at least). So we've started to "bribe" him with things just so he will at least take a few bites, in hopes that once he actually tastes it, he will like it. So, our standby bribes are, if you take 3 bites you can take a bath (works every time!), if you take a bite dad will get the trains out, and on this day he got his first hand stirred milkshake. My Grandma Minnie always made hand stirred milkshakes, so we are high maintenance around here when it comes to those. He loved his first milkshake.
Anderson also got his first tie for church, or as Tim calls it, his first "peepie wiper" (it's a bit long but the selection at the thrift store isn't that promising). I have been looking forever and can't find one that fits him, so oh well. He is focused on another intense episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He now sings along with the songs and can do the roll call by himself.
Minnie turned 7 months the other day and has just gotten her first tooth, and can now pull herself up. The other day I was hanging Andy's shirts up and had some hangers on his mini couch in his room. Minnie pulled her self up and cruised right on over to get the hangers. Her head barely clears the big couch down stairs which she has just started pulling herself up on.
She's pretty funny and a good baby. Her hair kills me.

I love those bribes. We're starting to say similiar things to Aaron just so he can try at least one bite of whatever we're having for dinner. I'm so happy that Minnie is pulling up and has her first tooth. She's probably cranky with the whole teething but it's all good. Anderson's tie was so cute on him last Sunday--especially when he tried to put it back on himself. Oh the joys of nursery.
Minnie's a cutie! I can't believe that hair! And I was just asking Chip about ties for the boys...do they really need them yet?...etc. He said for sure when they are baptized. I'll stick with the polos until then.
Try JC Penny for the tie. They always have ties for the little guys. A stylish little guy can't go to nursery with a peepie wiper!
I wish my kids hated chicken nuggets! lol.cant pass a mcd's without them begging to stop! ha..and i absolutely love Minnies hair! She is the cutest lil thing ever!
Bribing is awesome!! Caleb will be 11 months in a week and still has no teeth! He has a few on their way in, but none that have broken surface. Crazy huh!
Anderson and Minnie are so adorable!
