August 22, 2013 (18 Months)


 
Andrew is on the go! He doesn’t slow down for anyone.
Andrew thinks that all animals say “Moo” or “Baa”

Andrew got to wear his first bandaid this month when he smashed his thumb in the toilet seat lid. I think he was equally upset from the pain and the Band-Aid.
Andrew got to visit his Minnesota cousins this month and meet his new baby cousin Jacob. Aside from his difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep in a new environment, he was a great traveler.

Andrew is a mosquito magnet, just like his daddy. At one point he had no less than 8 bites just on his face when no one else that was outside at the same time had even a single bite.

A few of Andrew’s favorite things are puppies, airplanes, dump trucks, his blankey, and bananas.
Andrew has the word “no” down pat. Some days everything is “no”.

We visited the Wisconsin Deer Park in the Dells and Andrew had a blast! Several times his excited running and shrieking scared most of the deer away but when he was able to contain his excitement he was able to pet the deer and give them hugs. We bought some crackers to feed the deer and at first Andrew thought they were for him to eat and he didn’t want to share with the deer. Once we convinced him to share he realized how fun it was to feed the deer and had them eating out of his hands.

Andrew is up to 12 teeth and is working on his top canines.
Andrew thinks it’s funny to put his blankey over his head and walk around bumping into things.

Andrew loves to eat fresh tomatoes, carrots, and green beans straight from the garden. He will walk around and eat an entire heirloom tomato. We are trying to teach him to only pick the red, ripe tomatoes but so far he sees nothing wrong with eating unripe, green tomatoes.
Andrew loves animals. He especially loves to give them hugs.
