It is hard to believe my baby boy is now a toddler! He is getting really good at walking and is getting in to everything!

When asked, “Where is Andrew’s belly?” Andrew will get a huge grin on his face and lift his shirt to show off his big belly. When asked, “Where is Andrew’s nose?” he will get a huge grin on his face and lift his shirt to show off his big belly. We’re working on it.

Andrew knows how to push doors shut. He thinks it’s really cool until he realizes that he doesn’t know how to open it again and his excitement quickly fades.

Andrew has 7 teeth currently, 4 on top and 3 on bottom.

Andrew thinks it is fun to chase the cats and pull their tails. The cats must be really desperate for attention because they put up with it when they could easily jump out of his reach.

We took Andrew to Olbrich Gardens, he really liked huge leaves and pretty flowers.

 

Standing on the couch and looking outside is easily one of Andrew’s favorite past times. It is especially fun because we still have plastic on the windows for the winter.

Andrew knows lots of words, he can say mama, dada, ba (ball), all done, baby, and of course no, me, and mine. He also says something that sounds a lot like “money” all the time.

Andrew likes to talk on his toy phone. He prefers to talk on our real phones.

Andrew will usually give you something if you ask for it, but he expects you to give it right back to him.

Andrew loves to be naked! He can be in the crabbiest mood ever and if you strip him down his attitude instantly changes and he starts giggling and running around the house happy as can be.

 

Andrew loves watching me vacuum, he gets really excited when he sees me get it out and smiles and giggles the whole time.

We try to take Andrew to the library every weekend. His favorite part is the fish tank, he gets really excited watching the fish swim around. He is still working on his library manners (i.e. keeping his voice down  J ).

Andrew loves his tooth brush. He doesn’t love brushing his teeth, mind you, but chewing on it and carrying it around the house is always a good time.

Andrew hates bath time, he refuses to sit in the tub and spends the entire time trying to climb out.

Andrew has his daddy’s appetite! We haven’t found anything he won’t eat. Even if you can tell he doesn’t like something, he will still eat it. It is hard to even pick out his favorites because he eats everything with just about the same gusto. If I had to pick, I would say pancakes and bananas are at the top of his list.
