Andrew has really enjoyed raising our chickens so far. he loves to pick grass for them to eat, chase them around the yard to try and pet them, and feed them mealworms out of his hands.
Andrew is destined to be the class clown, he is always being silly and trying to make other children laugh. He makes friends easily and is not afraid to introduce himself to other kids at the park and ask if they want to play with him.
Andrew is Daddy's big helper. He loves to be right by Daddy's side helping or imitating him while he works.
Andrew dresses himself most days. He is getting better at matching his outfits although we sometimes disagree about the definition of "matching." He likes to wear his shirts backwards.
Andrew takes really good care of his stuffies especially his favorite puppy named "puppy." He likes to read them stories, makes sure to get them snacks when they are hungry, and puts them down for naps when they get sleepy. He even makes sure they have a toy to play with while they fall asleep! :)
Andrew is a chatterbox and talks to everyone. He is very curious and inquisitive and not afraid to speak up and ask questions even to people he doesn't know such as a server at a restaurant ("Excuse me mister, can I have chocolate milk?") or employee at the grocery store ("Why are you putting those boxes there?") He is very interested in learning how things work, one recent topic of interest is where water comes from and where it goes and he likes to get down under the sink to look at the pipes.
Andrew loves to paint, here he is hard at work painting a train bank with Daddy at Fired Up Pottery.
There are few things Andrew enjoys more than a popcorn and movie night. He insists on holding his own bowl of popcorn but is usually willing to share.
Andrew prefers pants over shorts even on really hot days. He hates to wear socks and takes them off immediately upon entering the house. He likes to be barefoot even outside and is constantly taking his shoes off.
Andrew went to his first Brewer's game. At first he hated it, the loud noise from the crowd, announcer, and fireworks overwhelmed and scared him. He covered his ears and cried that he wanted to go home, even sitting by his big cousins didn't make him feel better. After taking him out and walking around the stadium for a bit we convinced him to go back in and watch the rest of the game but he was not a fan :(.
Andrew is afraid of loud noises. He loves to look at big trucks and tractors from a distance but will not get close if they are running. He hides when Mommy uses the food processor, blender, or carpet shampooer but is used to the vacuum. He doesn't like fireworks. He avoids public bathrooms due to loud flushes and hand dryers.
Andrew is often hesitant to go play outside complaining that it is too hot or the sun is too bright. He does get excited to go to the park or play with water. He had a ton of fun playing car wash and also loves to launch his rocket.
