October 21, 2014 (2 Years, 8 months)

The highlight of October was definitely our visit to the Mid-Continent Railway Museum in North Freedom. Andrew was so excited to see all the trains and go for a train ride, every time he saw another train he excitedly pointed "Ooh look at that one! Look at that one!"

 

 

Andrew is such a tall kid he already outgrew his toddler bed so Daddy built him a twin bed. He really likes it, especially because it came with a Thomas the Train pillow. After a couple days we added legs so now he can play under his bed which is also pretty exciting.

 

 

 

 

 Andrew doesn't always play with things the way I expect, for example, instead of playing with the play dough on the table he decided to put it on the floor and stand on it.

 

 

Andrew loves raking leaves and making a big pile to jump and play in. Of course he has to bring his gray train engine along for the fun!

 

 

Andrew got the idea from his cousin to add Butt on to the end of everyone's names, i.e. Mommy-Butt, Daddy-Butt, Alex-Butt, Grandma-Butt. He also decided to start calling my Jamie. I'm not sure which I prefer.

 

Andrew continues to be the world's messiest eater. He likes to rub his hands all over the table to "wash it," he takes food off his plate so he can cut it directly on the table, he uses his hands to shovel food into his mouth which inevitably leads to food all over his shirt, chair, and floor, and just in general does whatever he can to make what he proudly declares "a giant mess!"

 

Andrew can count to eleven. He can say the alphabet up to g.
