Fall

We have these beautiful yellow flowers at the end of our driveway that we decided to pick last week.










Of course, with fall comes football. Andrew participates fully in these "man nights."




He can't have chips and salsa so he brings some toys to munch on.

Andrew has also developed a fascination with mirrors.

Not spoiled, just ripe

Andrew is very blessed to have so many men near him who love him so much. Sadly, all his aunts have decided to live other places.
He and Adam have discovered marching together. Andrew clearly loves it and Adam says it is a good workout for the arms.

Drew has always loved walks with Papa, but he really loves it in the awesome Kelty baby backpack. Thanks Ann and James!




It doesn't surprise us, but we are continually delighted with Andrew's enthusiasm for music. Every time he gets near an instrument he has to take a crack at it.

He is a born musician!

It seems like every three weeks or so Andrew will have a week where he learns to do 4 new things a day. Recently added to his skill set: waving, an attempt at pointing, singing, strumming, exploring. Here are some videos of the last three:

Eating Breakthrough!

Andrew hasn't been so keen on solid foods since we started them at 4 months. He clamped his mouth down tight for everything until one week ago when we tried applesauce. Yum!





Somehow the applesauce taught him to open his mouth. He does it for everything now. It makes mealtime more pleasant for all, and less messy.

He has a small trike at Grandma and Grandpa's that he is learning to work. He looks so big and so tiny at the same time.

Daddy and Sophie are funny

Pictures for Papa Fleenor

Daddy and Drew had a photo shoot with Drew's hat that Papa and Dixie gave him.












For those of you checking out his adorable footwear, those are Tiny Toms from his Aunt Emily. :) I just love these boys. Love you too Papa Fleenor! Miss you!

Steps!

Oh yes... There is no stopping this boy.
