June 24, 2013 (16 months)

Andrew helped us pick strawberries at the Berry Farm. He had fun running up and down the aisles and didn't trample kept going for the white, unripe berries. He must have ate over 20 berries before we left; his face, hands, and shirt were all stained red.




Andrew’s climbing skills are reaching new heights, literally! He tries to climb on and in everything possible.
Andrew says Peek-A-Boo and covers his ears to play.
Andrew loves to pretend he is talking on a phone. He is very resourceful too, anything can be a phone. Even a rock. Even a toothbrush. Even his own hand.

Andrew went on his first ride in the bike trailer. He didn’t care for the helmet but he loved the ride! He had a smile from ear to ear and did lots of giggling.
 

Andrew has switched to a one nap schedule most days.
Andrew is getting good at feeding himself with a fork or spoon. Speaking of eating, Andrew keeps surprising everyone with just how much he can put away. He is definitely his father’s son!
Andrew’s is very attached to his blankey, he asks for it when he is getting tired, he gets really excited when he sees it, and he gets really upset when it gets taken away. He was really mad when I wouldn’t let him take it in the bathtub with him.
Andrew had his first haircut. Actually it was more of a trim, just cutting the back and sides by his ears. He was distracted by a children’s youtube video about animal sounds so he actually stayed pretty still for dad.

 

Andrew is saying quite a few words now, it is getting harder to keep track. New words include bubbles, puppy, book, and bath.
Andrew loves to dance and has some really good moves.

Andrew is independent. When he sees the opportunity to go and explore, he takes it and doesn't look back. If I don’t want to be chasing him I have to be holding him, once I put him down he immediately takes off . At least I am getting my exercise!
Andrew had two sleepovers last month, one with his Grandma and Papa and the other with one of his Aunties. He had tons of fun and did great being away from mom and dad.
