Sweet Anderson


This past weekend I had the privilege of spending 3 nights with my friend Amber in Kansas. Remember Amber? I wrote about her a few months back. She was about to have a baby boy. Well since then, she has had that sweet little boy (Anderson). . . and I won't go into the details of her super easy birth. You all might get jealous. I know I am!

It was so amazing to spend that much time in a home with a newborn. I felt like I got a crash course! Amber is doing such a wonderful job. She carries herself through life with this new little one (not to mention being a CPA during tax season when the world doesn't stop even for an infant) with such ease. She really is a natural and I am so proud of her. I learned so much from observing and trying my best to help out every now and then. I changed a few diapers but got completely stuck when trying to change Anderson's clothes. I'm not sure why, but this is one of the things I'm just scared to do. I think I'm afraid I'll break them as I wiggle them out of their onesies. Amber assured me that they are much less fragile than we think and then proceeded to show we what to do like it was no big thing. I think it might still take me a while. Perhaps I'll have Dave change Hope's clothes every day!

Anderson is so cute. I could just stare at him all day. I'll post a picture as soon as I get them downloaded.

Another week behind me, so much learned and so much more to learn. I feel like a sponge, trying to take in every thing possible in the next few months. Yet I know the learning will be never ending.
