Tag! You're it!

Language!!

A selection of some of Andrew's new vocabulary:

Whoa

Cheese (which he says for both pictures and the dairy product)

And today's addition: bubbles!

Pop!

Andrew loves his riding toy in the yard, but even though he can get on and off it himself, his legs are too short to get it moving by himself. So he bounces on it...


and makes car sounds instead.


Cute little make-believer.

New Sweater

The latest thing I knit for the babe. The yarn is cotton so he should be able to wear it in this warmer weather.



I'm pretty pleased with both the sweater and the boy. :)
Thanks to the amazingly talented Fleenor Photography for the great product shots!

More fun in the yard

It's a good thing we got this on video because the grass made Josh sick for the rest of the day.
He says it was worth it. :)

I love my family.

My Strong Men

This is Andrew's current favorite video:

Visiting Aunt Lindsey

We drive down to Raleigh to see my friend Lindsey and her darling daughter Sophie last Wednesday night and didn't come home till Saturday night. It was such a wonderful trip for the kids and the mommies.

Family breakfast



Our sweet hostess






Love this girl! Isn't she gorgeous?

The kids really did so great together. The were instantly friends. Sophie was very patient with Andrew, sharing her toys, her house, and sometimes her mommy.

Sophie taught Andrew about Popsicles. I have been trying to convince him how wonderful they are for weeks. He needed Sophie's example.



Linds took us to Marbles, a kids' museum in downtown Raleigh. It was super fun. Andrew's favorite part was the bright red convertible, no surprise to Josh.


Out for a drive



So serious.



Backing up

The other big hit with our two tots was the miniature basketball hoops.

I love these Little Boy, Big World pictures. It reminds me what we are parenting him towards.


Fun outside on the porch





Andrew loves his Aunt Lindsey.


We miss you guys!

Just another day

Easter Fun

I love these two:


Andrew's Egg hunt Audience:

Easter Prep

After some time in the yard with Uncle Adam,






and some time to be silly with Papa,

Andrew got to play with the Easter eggs a little early. They were a hit.

Getting back to normal

We were feeling like this:



But today we feel more like this:

Thank goodness!
