He loves Cups!

We went to breakfast with my dad today before he had to go back to Boise. The food was so good. Andrew loves pancakes! He was getting angry when I didn't give them to him fast enough! I also gave him a cup with a tiny bit of water in it and he drank it!! Some did go on his shirt but most in his mouth! He is getting so big I can't believe it. He looked so funny sitting there with that big cup up to his little mouth. Man I love this kid!

Grandpa is here!!!

My dad came to I.F. for Samantha's graduation, so he stayed with us. It was so much fun. It was good to see him and for Andrew to spend some time with him also. He had so many smiles for Grandpa. So now I'm pretty sure he likes it when Grandpa comes to visit, Andrew woke up in the middle of the night and grandpa got up with him and cuddled him back to sleep. What a good grandpa!

However I had to remind Andrew that wasn't going to keep happening. He has been doing really well sleeping through the night and without his bink. YAHOO!

Congradulations Samantha!!

My little sister is all grown up!! It makes me sad. She graduated yesterday the 22nd of May, Im so proud of her! She looked so pretty. Lara did her hair and makeup. I can't believe how fast time went by. It doesn't seem like she should be done with school yet. But she is and she is a beautiful person with so much potential.

Now she is off to bigger and better things. And she is going to be great at what ever it is she decides to do! We love you Samantha!

Drews Birthday~ Just a tad late

So for Drews birthday dinner at my moms on Sunday 20th, we had steak, coconut shrimp, potatoes, and corn on the cob. It was so good, and a great kick off to such great weather. For his cake he wanted Beehive Cake ( oh so good ) and my mom got two of them so one cake had a few candles on it and the other was all the numbers my mom had that added up to 28. It was pretty funny. He had a great day.

I am so greatful for such a wonderful husband and that he is such a wonderful father to Andrew! I love you baby!!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub it's Andrew in the tub!!

Saturday night was bath night to get ready for Sunday. He loves his bath time! I'm pretty suree his favorite is the splashing! He washes the whole bathroom for me. He's a big helper! He is a ver curious little man trying to get the camera from me, but instead I got a super smile and a little wet. P.S. those tub crayons do stain the tub if not cleaned right away :)!

8 months old!

Andrew turned 8 months old on the 12th and man has he gotten big! At 7 months he was rolling everywhere, so I would scatter his toys around the room so he could go after them. Well now he his doing an army crawl and just about to get his knees under him. It is so much fun to watch them grow and see how fast they catch on to stuff. His is starting to talk a lot more as well. I love it because it sounds like he is saying mom mom mom over and over again. So when Andrew was 1 month old we put him into his "Build-a-Bear" Red Sox uniform and it was so cute, so for fun we put that monkey in the uniform next to him for his 8 month picture to see the difference... so here you go.

Isn't he just the cutest kid you have ever seen! All smiles all the time!! Oh and I need to mention he got his two bottom teeth between 6-7 months, well now the two top teeth are starting to work their way down. He such a trooper, he hasn't fussed of had a fever to tell us of any discomfort. But the gums are swollen and you can somewhat see the tips poking through. So that is pretty exciting.

Isaac's Birthday

Isaac ( my nephew ) turned 3 on the 14th and he was so much fun to watch open his gifts. He was so excited about every single thing he got. Drew and I got him this way cute " Cars " rug with a road on it. Lara said he has had it out every day since driving on it. Well since he loves cars so much this is what I have been working on for him, he hasnt seen it yet but it is finished so he will get it soon... Shhh Lara dont tell :). Sorry its kinda hard to see.

Mothers Day

I had such a wonderful day. I was able to talk to Patricia for a little while, we were able to spend time with my family and Jeff made a wonderful dinner for all of us. Thank you Jeff! And we talked to Carol for a little while and wished her a great day. Drew is such a wonderful husband! He surprised me Sunday with these beautiful roses and such beautiful cards from him and from Andrew.

Andrews 1st Easter!

This was Andrews first Easter picture. He looked so handsome in his new argile (sp?) sweater vest! And just look at that handsome smile it just melts my heart.

We went Swimming!

We went to Utah to visit Stu and Bela for the weekend and the hotel we stayed at had a swimming pool so we were able to take Andrew swimming for the first time. it was so much fun and he loved it. One of the best parts was the long nap he took afterwards.

My how time flies!

Wow Andrew is already coming up on his 8th month of life! He is doing so well. He hasn't learned to crawl but he has figured out that rolling everywhere he needs to go is just as effective. He can get going pretty fast. He is finding everything at his level that he shouldnt have and I'm so not ready for that. The whole baby proofing thing scares me. Oh and he loves food... he is eating so much... especially loves Carrots, Squash, and all the fruits. Thankfully he is not a pickie eater like myself! The last time we went to the doctor at 6 months he was 16 lbs , 13.5 oz, and 17'' long. We had to go to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and he was up to 18 lbs 8 oz.... So huge and he's finally getting all those cute rolls on him.
