Anderson is 5 months old


Anderson turned 5 months on Wednesday! He's getting so big. He has now tried green beans and sweet potatoes. He seems to like the potatoes better. We also have switched from rice cereal to oatmeal. He gets really excited and tries to grab the bowl and spoon. Eating has gotten a little messy. The picture of Anderson in the blue and white striped outfit are from his "birthday". The others are just some fun ones we took of our little man.

It was a short week due to Monday's holiday. I got to spend some quality time with Anderson and Jim last weekend and relax a bit. I got an A on my first mini-test in anatomy so I guess I'm learning something. Friday the 14th we have our first big test in anatomy so I will be very busy this week studying and going to the lab at night to look at the dog and cat forelimbs. Our test is over the forelimb so we need to know every bone, muscle, artery, vein, nerve and lymph node. It is pretty overwhelming when I start thinking about it.

Last night Jim, Anderson and my parents went to a "welcome reception" for the program. We got free food catered from the rib ranch and ice cream from the UNL dairy store. They toured my classroom and dissection lab too. It was a nice evening.

Jim spent last week working on our yard; aerating, mowing, planting seed, spraying weeds and watering. We also had tons of holes that he needed to fill. We didn't want the dog running through the yard and getting her leg stuck in a hole. He has found several snakes and even thought he ran one over with the mower. He built a shed with the help of my dad so he can store the lawn and garden things. He's making room so one of us can park in the garage! Anderson's birthay was the highlight of the week. Other than studying, working on the yard, and playing with Anderson not much more exciting news from the Barretts. Take care!
