Cookie-coma

Anderson had a busy night decorating Christmas cookies. Amazing work, but it pretty much tuckered him out! Ok, so he had a little help from mom, dad, Uncle Brandt and Josh :)



Post decorating.....

Our 1st Christmas Tree

This past weekend Anderson enjoyed a trip out to get his first Christmas tree. We went all the way to the nearest HyVee parking lot. :) Hopefully in the future we'll go to the tree farms and cut one down. We decorated it on Sunday night and Anderson was a great help with ornament placement.

Here's a bundled up pic before we ventured out to get the tree.


And here's our finished tree

And the winner is................

Alright, the moment you've all been waiting for -- the winner of the Great Pumpkin Debate!! After careful examination of the accuracy and luck of all guesses submitted, I am pleased to announce that Great Aunt Doris is the winner!! She will receive a free stay at the Bateman Inn and all the Anderson time she would like! Congrats!!


Over the past week Anderson has met all of his uncles and has been busy hanging with mom and Grandma Pyle. Here are some pics from the past week!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Ok, so we've been a little distracted the last couple days and haven't posted enough pictures of Anderson. We all came home on Monday and have had a great week learning about our new little man.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and we look forward to everyone meeting the newest Bateman!

The Great Pumpkin has arrived!

Anderson James Bateman was born on Saturday, November 22, at 2:18 am. He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 21 inches long. Mom and dad are ecstatic! He has had lots of great visitors so far including meeting all of his grandparents and a couple of his uncles. Anderson will go home with mom and dad (that is weird to type) on Monday. We have posted some pictures below for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to everyone for all of the warm wishes. Don’t forget to keep checking on the blog for updates on Anderson and the Bateman Family.

KU Football

The tailgating seeing has finally come to a close. I've attended most of the KU games except Kstate and this last one against Texas. It was bitter cold, so mom and I decided a little indoor activity would be better -- shopping.

I'm 39weeks and just waiting Pumpkin's arrival. As you can see, I was subjecting Pumpkin to the elements as my coat is just a tiny bit too small. :)

Belly Time

Well, here we go, the newest of the belly pics. 38 weeks and counting!
