Andrew

Andrew has hit one of those points in his life where it seemed like he changed overnight. Life is just going along and then BOOM, all of a sudden he has changed. He is just growing up is what it is, and it takes me by surprise when I have these moments of realization. He is way closer to being a 2 year old then he is a 1 year old, so when he does something that makes him seem so big I have to remind myself that he is in-fact almost 2.

So here is Andrew lately...

• He refused to sit in his booster seat a few months ago. He has to sit in a big chair like everyone else.
• He has to go up and down the stairs all by himself. Unless he really wants to hurry down the stairs on his tummy he insists on going down like a big boy.
• He has to take a nap on Kinnie's bed and not his crib. (Do you catch a pattern going on? He is stubborn! And very independent.
• He still loves his binky or his "b"
• He has started saying "ya" and "okay." For example, ME "Close your eyes Andrew, go to sleep." ANDREW "Okay." Or ME "Andrew did you go to the store with Daddy?" ANDREW "Ya!"
• He loves his sunglasses, putting Kinnie's headbands or crowns on his head, playing with his cars and trains, and riding his bike around the house
  
• He loves to pretend to be a doggy. He gets down on all fours, pants like a dog and crawls over to you so you can pet him.
• He loves seeing trucks and tractors while driving in the car. But loud trucks and noises scare him.
• He is often singing. Who know what sometimes, but lately he tries to sing the ABC's or Itsy Bitsy Spider or I Love You.
• He is still my cuddly little buddy.
• He loves when Landon gets home from school and stands at the door saying "Daddy Daddy Daddy!"
• He loves Kinnie. He loves to play with her and be with her and tease her and do everything she does.
