Sorry for the mass of pictures. I am very behind on posting. Andrew and Daddy have a new game. Daddy lays on the floor and Andrew sits/climbs/lays/ jumps on him. Andrew will now go get a pillow, lay it on the floor, pat it, and say "Dada." He also tries to get me to do it. He doesn't realize I can't lay on my belly anymore!


Our friends Kenny and Judith came over last Saturday to carve a pumpkin. Judith was trying to draw the face and Andrew kept grabbing the marker to help. So we gave him his own pen and he wrote all over the top of the pumpkin.


He enjoyed trying to dig out the insides with a spoon.





When we were finished I went to put the bowl of seeds in the kitchen. Andrew still wanted to play with it. He sat at the table and used his spoon to play with the seeds for a long time. He also kept trying to put the pieces we had cut out back into the pumpkin like a puzzle.


Andrew has moved from his crib to a twin bed. He transitioned very easily. It only took him one day to figure out how to maneuver (in his sleep bag) around the guard and get out of bed. Thankfully he only does this once you've come in and turned on the light. His room is so dark otherwise that he won't try it.

Winter is on its way! We've had some cold days and some milder days. Scarfs and hats aren't needed everyday yet!

Andrew loves to dress himself. Pajamas, wellie boots (rain boots), and a NWA captains hat. What style! The other night he was running around naked with his captain hat on and his toothbrush in his hand. Won't share those pics!

Here is a video of Andrew and Daddy playing their game. Sorry it is so long, but my camera would not let me edit it.

This Past Month

Here are some random pictures from the last month.

Daddy and Andrew eating pancakes and watching cartoons on a Saturday morning.


Andrew enjoying Daddy's chair.

Have I mentioned that Andrew loves to copy everything we do. So we have to be careful! He has seen me wipe up his messes in the kitchen after he eats and now he will take a rag (or sometimes the clean dish towel) and wipe the floor or tables. Here he is dusting the coffee table (with the dishcloth he stole from the kitchen).

Our son never uses anything the way he is meant too. He went through a faze of being obsessed with putting his shopping cart on the coffee table. He was not allowed to do this, but was very persistent in trying!


Andrew playing with Mummy's scarf.


Here is a video of when Andrew first learned to blow kisses. I love the delay between the action and sound. He was blowing kisses to a stranger we passed on the street one day and the man didn't even smile. What a grouch!


This video is of Andrew playing with a cup and dish cloth.
