Due to a frustrating experience with Best Buy, I have been without my brilliant blogging camera/phone for 15 days. So I have some catching up to do.
Uses #23 & #37 for pool noodles: Jousting:
Uncle bonking:
Sometimes Andrew gets so excited that that we have to practice some deep breaths:
Andrew copying Uncle Ben's post-dinner pose:
Two weeks ago we went to Raleigh and back and to Charlotte and back in the space of 6 days. Andrew logged a lot of time in the carseat and did awesome. We played some silly car games:
and he took some naps, with some head support:
At Pat and Lisa's Andrew got to see their chickens, which he thought was pretty awesome.
Lisa got Andrew a dump truck for Christmas last year thinking he would just love it, but he has been sort of ambivalent about it. Until now. Now all we hear out of his room are truck sounds: Andrew and I followed Josh, Ben, and Adam to play frisbee golf. Andrew ran the entire course. He also has a pretty decent throw, especially considering he has a foam frisbee.
I think this video is so sweet: This is Andrew's new favorite song:
Nana has discovered Pintrest, which means she has new cool things to do every time we go over there, like fingerpainting in a plastic bag:
Or 101 clothes pin games for toddlers:
Or games with sliced-up pool noodles:
He tried the dropping game again when we got home but I didn't catch it. His balance in this video is amazing though. I made Andrew a new fall sweater. We went out to eat with Aunt Shawn last week while she was here and Aunt Emily made him a napkin hat to match.
If the sweater looks familiar, it's because it is the same one I made him last year. It is even the same size, just longer. Grandpa has great restaurant games:
Andrew watched a Western with Papa Robins and this was his reaction to the horses charging. Last weekend Eric's family came to meet all of us and talk wedding plans. (oh yeah, you all heard Aunt Sara is engaged, right? Yay for Sara and Eric!) We went to the corn maze.
Sara got to try on a wedding dress. I can't show you a picture of that, but I can show you what showed up unexpectedly in the window to say hi to Eric's niece Saffy:
My mom taught Andrew to say "Me!" when she say "My nana loves...". This is very cute except now when I try to teach him to say "I love you." it goes like this: Andrew got a baby doll on a recent trip to Walmart. Believe it or not there are no boy babies at Walmart. The pink doesn't seem to bother him though.
He picked this one because it has a pasie, as all babies should in his opinion.
We also took our first trip to the library. I don't think Andrew even realized there were books because there was a train set.
Lately it is all about the latest cute thing Andrew says:
