Andrew dressed as a bumble bee for Halloween this year. He practiced trick or treating with the big cats at the sanctuary in Rock Springs then ventured into the rain to trick or treat on Halloween night. Andrew held a tight grip on his candy bucket the whole time and said "thank you" to almost everyone. When we got home he spotted our trick or treat candy bowl, ran over, and starting quickly grabbing handfuls for his bucket. He had fun just looking at and playing with all the colorful candy.
Andrew is starting to learn his colors. His favorite color is yellow; it was the first color he was able to say and identify. He likes to point out when he sees something yellow and he often will pick out only yellow Legos to build a tower.
Andrew had fun helping rake the leaves. He was full of giggles whenever his daddy tossed leaves up into the air and they rained down on him.
Andrew thinks that all cats are named Sophie.
Andrew's vocabulary has really exploded this month, he is constantly trying to repeat words and says new words everyday. He has also been putting two words together to make short sentences (get down) or show possession (mommy hat).
Andrew has a thing for shoes. He is always pointing out other people's shoes and he likes to put on grown up shoes and walk around the house.
Andrew knows how to blow kisses.
Andrew is getting really good at puzzles. He sometimes gets frustrated when he can't get a piece to fit in but he is usually able to find the right spot.
Andrew still loves to play peekaboo and thinks its really funny to hide in the coat closet.
Andrew is allowed to watch a limited amount of television. He loves the TV (pronounced teebee) and asks to watch it all the time. When I tell him "no" he gets the remote (pronounced "mote"), climbs up on the couch, and tries to turn it on himself.
Andrew likes to put things on his head and pretend that they are hats: his toy drum, bowls, a toy tote, anything can be a hat.
Andrew does not like to wear socks. If I am able to convince him to put them on when he gets dressed in the morning, they don't usually make it past breakfast.
Andrew really loves to dump things out. Buckets of Legos and books on the bookshelf are his favorite.
Andrew was really enthusiastic about the first snow fall. That morning he looked out the window in amazement saying over and over WOW SNOW!!!! Later that day he was really excited when we played outside.
