Springtime Fun

Last Thursday was the most beautiful day of the year so far, it hit 80 degrees and there was no wind so we spent a large part of the day outside. Andrew was smothered in sun block and we brought out this hat we bought him last year. It barely fits, but it did the job of keeping the sun off of him. He loved playing outside!

Happy Hour!

I love to go out every once in a while to get a drink at Sonic and of course I like discounts so I go at happy hour. One problem I encounter is that Andrew loves my drink so he begs and screams in the back seat if I don't give it to him. I decided to buy him a small drink so I didn't have to go through the tantrum one day. He loved it....he played with the cup and straw as much as he drank any of it...and then he had to be changed by the time we got home.

He's Walking!

We have been working with Andrew on learning to walk. He has been doing a great job for the last week or so with walking between Isaac and myself, but now he has learned to balance and do it himself. He has also started scooting more around the house. I wouldn't say it is crawling, but he is getting around more.

Happy Easter!

Celebrating Easter this year was so much fun. On Saturday Isaac's family invited us over to dye Easter eggs. We each had a dozen to decorate and had a great time coloring them. I worked Saturday night, and when I got home Sunday morning the Easter Bunny had visited our home and left Andrew a basket with candy filled sport ball eggs, bubbles, a new froggie blanket, and a cute Sunday outfit. He enjoyed the jelly beans. Mom and dad thought he looked really cute in his outfit. Andrew and daddy had left mommy flowers and a present as well. We went to church and enjoyed the meetings we had. Andrew went with dad to priesthood and mom conducted relief society. We went over to Granny and Grandpa's house and had ham and potatoes for dinner and then proceeded outside to dispose of the eggs by playing egg toss off of the house and catching them in towels like water balloon volleyball. Andrew was constantly looking up in his pictures because Jacob was on the roof throwing the eggs down. We brought the wagon along and Andrew had fun being taken on rides by different people. It was a great Easter!

Cleaning

Andrew loves to play with any of mom's cleaning supplies. Anytime I am trying to clean my floors he starts begging to help by grabbing the broom, mop, vacuum, or duster. I sure wish letting him use them would work to keep the house clean. We bought him a little broom which fits his size better, but mom's is always the one he wants.

Learning to walk

We bought Andrew a walking toy to help him learn to walk. It didn't take him long until he was up and running.

Welcome home KaeDee!

We were so excited to be able to go to the airport to welcome Aunt KaeDee home from her mission to Detroit. I was slightly nervous because Andrew has had a bit of stranger anxiety lately. He had a great time playing with the family as we waited for KaeDee, and didn't cry at all when KaeDee held him. We had fun welcoming her home!

Brushing Teeth

Andrew has loved brushing his teeth since we started brushing them with a plastic scrubbing finger cover when they first came in. He would even try to help us brush our teeth. We finally got him a baby toothbrush and he loves to brush them himself now.

Giggling!

Big Red Wagon Ride

We took Andrew out on the warmest day of the year so far to try out his wagon that Grandma and Grandpa gave him for Christmas. It was a fun ride around the block.
