I made it into three whole frames! It's not super flattering, but my little cutie wouldn't hold still for anything else.

Anthony and Jaden Monkeying Around
The boys are at a very difficult age to photograph at the same time. Getting them both looking at the camera and smiling at the same time (which is apparently something grandparents enjoy) is QUITE the task. Theresa and I decided to take the boys to the park again and just see what we got. Enjoy!

19 Months
Dear Anthony,
You're 19-months old! Sometimes you look so tiny, and other times it seems like you're a monster. Your feet seem really big, but I'm sure they're totally normal for your age :) You're over 2 1/2 feet tall, and you weigh a little over 20lbs. You recently got your 13th tooth, and I feel pretty sure you're working on another one. Grow, grow, grow! It's like your little mantra, but I'd be happy if you stayed my little guy just a bit longer.
You've been down to one nap a day for a while, and that seems to be a much better routine for us than your 2 naps (although it is hard to have lunch with anyone now!). Your doctor has given us the all-clear for traveling with you, and we're starting with some small stuff soon. Your first beach trip is coming up next week, and we'll hit up Dallas next month. I'm trying to convince your dad to do these Colorado and London trips so maybe you can do me a favor and make one (or both!) of those words next out of your mouth :) Right now you say Mama, Dada, Papa, and a stream of little-little-diddle-diddle that I'm not sure what it means! You almost have Grandpa, but it needs a little refinement. Adorable!
You could still care less for whole vegetables but still like them in the puree form. Everything else is on track and real "grown-up" food for you. Hopefully the vegetables aren't far behind! All this good eating has given you plenty of energy, and I try to let you run around as much as possible. You're definitely fidgety about getting out of the stroller unless we're on a morning walk (or if there's a snack involved!). We got a BOB stroller this week, and you seem to enjoy this a lot more than the old one. You can climb in yourself, and the canopy blocks a lot more sun for you. Yay! I can't wait for the fall weather so the morning walks don't leave us drenched in sweat :/
You still need your D quite a bit, and we've had an upstairs and a downstairs D for a while now. Sometimes we even have to take it on errands with us, and it's a must-have for all road trips. Besides D, your favorite thing is being outside or occasionally watching Baby Signing Times (I swear you'd watch this every day if we let you). You can sign a lot of things, but they're more meaningful now and actually about what you want at that moment. A few days ago you actually started signing along with the video whereas usually you sign to me when it's not on. It was a cool/funny development when you started signing along with Miss Rachel!
I can't wait to see what the next month brings! You've been quite a rough and tough boy lately, and you've taken a much bigger interest in playing with your cars lately. We'll see where that takes us, especially on vacation :)
I love you more than anything, my favorite little person.

P.S. You give kisses when I ask for them, and it. melts. my. heart.

Swimming, Pizza, Play Date
Today my little Boogaboo is 19 months! His official 19-month letter and pictures to come soon. But since I'm headed out to a wedding I thought I'd go ahead and post a few tidbits from the last week.
On COUSIN day we went swimming. QUITE the adventure, let me tell ya. We packed a picnic, put on our sunscreen, and headed out. When we got to Villa Bene Stare we realized we had forgotten to bring the key. Not to be thwarted, we went back to grab some towels and drinks since we'd be on our own. We made our picnic right there on the patio, never even made it to the hot grass :)
Swimming was pretty tiring...we were forced to make homemade pizza for sustenance.
Play date with Alex and Leslie was up for Friday morning! I spent so much time having fun with the kiddos and listening to Alex talk about dinosaurs that I barely took any pictures. Hmph. Will try harder at next week's date.

Sliding Alone the First Time
We had a nice cloudy afternoon so we left our letter/shapes mat in the house to go play outside. Then the baby decided he was going to climb up and slide by himself for the first time :)
