Water Fun

Haircut, Take 2

 Ahhhh, mom?  Dad?  What exactly is going on here...

 Ohh!  Cold Water!

 *sigh*   Is this really happening again?

 Better now, with sucker in the mouth ;)

Oh my, we might just be at the end of the hair cutting session.

lovin' on molly

A boy and his dog.  

Driving

 Here is Andrew's first attempt at driving!  He loved it.  And did fairly well, might I add.  These pics were from mom & dad's visit back in march.  We went to Oakland Nursery to browse among the beautiful flora (love it!).  Andrew sat and gripped onto the steering wheel the entire time.  Make a few vroom vroom noises as we went :)

Then we took a quick trip into Meijer.  And when Andrew saw the ball pit, he about fell over.  So mom said "oh, he has to have one of these!" and grabbed one for him.  As you can see, the ball is about just as big as he is, and he wanted to hold it the entire time.  :)  We also came home with the infamous bubble wand and turtle kite, which have both been enjoyed numerous times since!  What a fun day that was for the 3 of us!

Easter Weekend

Vroom Vroom! Thats what Andrew says now a days when he sees any type of truck, mower, or in this case, gator! He loved going for gator rides at Camp Adventure. A real chip off the old block :)

Already figuring out how the thing turns on!! Look out :)

Mom and Dad's house and yard were a beautiful sight last weekend! Everything was in bloom, so refreshing! Mom and I took a few pictures of the tulips that were popping up everywhere!

A new shade this year...deep purple/magenta

Pretty pink!

Mom took this photo, it was even her idea! She loved how this grouping of flowers looked in the garden, and I agree with her!

Sunday afternoon before we headed back to Ohio, Grandma had planned an easter egg hunt for Andrew! Ok, well it ended up being an easter egg "pick-up", but he still had fun. I think uncle Ben had just as much fun helping :) He might have been a little jealous of the money inside the eggs. just kidding.

I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked too...but it was a wonderful weekend spent with our family. And to celebrate the resurrection of Christ!! He is risen indeed!

silly boy

Playing with blocks from Great Gr. & Gr. Brown, giving me a cheesy-eyes-closed-grin. :) Oh, and yes of course, holding the lint roller. One of his favorites.
And just another silly photo...wearing an outfit from Great Gr. & Gr. Fullmer! It is a little safari sweatsuit, so cute! And you know what the lion says, don't you Andrew? Rooaaarrr!

Introducing....

Andrew, the Jedi-knight! Seen in podracers everywhere :)

A visit from grandma and grandpa

Grandpa and Andrew had a good old time together the other weekend. It was so much fun to see them play together! He enjoyed this shape toy (Grandpa, that is;) haha. Just kidding, so did Andrew. Andrew is very intrigued by dad's glasses, and often wants to take them off. His face also lights up and he says "Da Da!". Which, to anyone who has been around Andrew, everything seems to be "Da Da" these days. So no fear, he will get it all straight eventually.
Any chance she got, mom helped us feed Andrew during their visit. I think he really likes getting his food from silly grandma. Hmm, he even ate peas for her. Mom, what do you think about coming out twice a week? :)


And here we have the experience of bubbles for the first time for Andrew! He was very silent and concentrating on each bubble that passed by. He loved it if dad caught a bubble on the wand and let Andrew pop it! This beloved bubble wand has now become a somewhat permanent structure in my son's hand. And about 10 times a day he is over at the sliding door, banging on it and exclaiming " Duh Duuhhhh! Duh Duuuuh!" (very different than Da Da, mind you) It's his word for bubbles! He toddles all over the house swinging that wand around. Almost like a light saber. Perhaps a future profession? Jedi-knight? Only time will tell.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend, Mom and Dad! We love you both!!!

Just another morning...

Here I am in my bathrobe. It is quite comfy and plush. I think I look like a little old man. What do you think?

spaghetti

Hello?

What? Do I have something on my face?

Well, let me just put some more on it! I like it there. Plus my voice echos in this thing. Pretty cool, mom.

Messy

This morning I decided to let Andrew have a go at his oatmeal all by himself. The pictures pretty much tell the story after that!

Such innocence :)
What, mom? I am eating just like you told me to!

The Haircut!

The first official hair cut has been given! The following pics are actually a re-staging of the whole process, but are very life-like and almost identical to how the real thing went down. Andrew did so great, didn't even cry when Joe cut his hair. What a good boy!

A real sucker was given during the actual event, which was enjoyed with much concentration, enthusiasm and delight. Even despite the hair that seemed to get stuck all over. Everywhere. We decided to not include another sucker for eating enjoyment during the reenactment , hence the wrapper :)

Seeee! I'm all done and lookin' like a big boy now! What a grin :)

breakfast with dad

One of Andrews favorite things is to eat breakfast! And an even better treat is to eat with dad :) Lately he has been wanting to eat our cereal with milk...seems he has a liking for it, too! It usually hard for Andrew to let go of Joe and send him off to work. He is usually clinging to him. So sweet. On saturday mornings we have begun a tradition of a "big breakfast", with eggs pancakes or waffles and sometimes bacon. Oh how Andrew loves his eggs and pancakes! And he gets to eat the leftovers the rest of the day. No problem for him! I love these beginning stages of traditions, routine, and just being happy together as a family.

Sunday best

Here is our resident ham-boy, all dressed up for church! He loves being in front of the camera, thats for sure! This little suit won't fit him for long! More pics to come of his first hair cut!
