The Anderson Family: Ceiling Fan Gazing

Ceiling Fan Gazing

Mommy and Holiday ceiling fan gazing (they're amazingly fun).

We also like the 'stick out the tongue' game.

Our whole family rode the new light rail on Saturday stroller and all. It's more comfortable than riding the bus and costs the same. We'll probably use it for weekend outings to downtown. The funniest part was when we came out of the Beacon Hill tunnel into the Sodo area and everyone went "oooooohhh" like it was magical. Trust me...Sodo isn't very magical. For me that made up for the long line in the hot sun. I'll be riding it on the way home tonight after the massage that David got me for my birthday so I'll get to see what it's like during regular commuting hours. I'm way more excited about the massage than the ride home in the light rail.

I think I need to start packing away some of the 0-3 months clothes, they're suddenly getting small. It seems like Holly's clothes are like mine, where I might be one size at a certain store and a different size somewhere else. So some of her 0-3 months will fit her for a while and some won't. Weird...and it makes it harder to judge how many outfits we need of any particular size. Our policy of not buying anything until we need it works just fine so we don't get too ahead of ourselves.

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
