Chicken Pox

On Monday night we discovered a few red dots on Andrew's back and stomach. By Tuesday morning it was definite...chickenpox! He only had a few spots on Tuesday and Wednesday. He slept a lot but was ok when he was awake. Then he woke up Thursday morning and was covered. He was miserable all day. But today he has been happier.
Day 2

Day 4- Covered in calamine lotion. Poor baby!!

Andrew Feeding Himself

Andrew is doing really well picking up food to feed himself. We have also been working on using a spoon. The other day I gave him a bowl of food and a spoon and left him to it. Here is the result.



About 2 weeks ago we got 5 inches of snow. It lasted another week because it was so cold. We wanted to see what Andrew thought of the snow now that he is trying to walk. He had the same response as last time..."Is this cold stuff supposed to be fun?"

On the move

Our world has changed a lot in the last month. I started back to work part time on January 5th. My days of leisure are over! The transition actually went very well. Andrew goes to the nursery at my school. He settled very quickly and really likes it. Here is a picture of Andrew and me on our first day of school.

Andrew is really starting to move. He still doesn't crawl very well. He army crawls, pulling himself with his arms. But he doesn't get his legs under him. However, he likes to walk everywhere. He walks really well holding on to one of our hands. He is also pulling up on furniture and walking around it. Today at church he walked all the way down one aisle of chairs and then back up the next by himself. We're so proud!



Having fun with a box! Who needs toys!?!
