Christmas In Ohio!

I cant believe its been almost a month since my last update....but then again I guess we have been kind of busy. Then I went to upload all of the videos and photos and realized that I already took them off the computer in order to clean house for the New Year!

Which Happy New Year btw ;)

So anyway I want to update and Andrew's (2nd) Christmas. He had a blast! We headed up to OH on the 18th to beat the winter storm that was brewing in NC. Can you believe that! We went to OH to get away from the snow. Kind of funny if you think about it. But they evetually got a little, which I was glad so Andrew could play in it a little. He wasnt sure what to think of it! Here are a few pics.


Then we all came back in to get warm!

From Nov & Dec 09

Here we all are getting ready to head to church.....dress up!


Andrew was so much fun Cms Eve....well after church was over ;) He played and played. I love this pic of him!


Here he is opening his Chatter Elma Cmas Morning! Love the Cmas PJ's!

Now it time for everyone to join in!


Ah!!! A Vacumm! Just like mommies!

Bath paints and markers!

And a Broom!


And a Race Car! I think this is his favorite!

From Nov & Dec 09

It was a blast being with my two favortie boys! I cant believe how big they both are! We have a lot to look forward to in the years to come!


So on to the new year. Once we got back for OH Andrew had a minor surgery to help with his Ear Infections. He recovered well and I hope we took care of the problem. More fun times to come!

Using a Spoon!!!

I honestly think some of this is my fault ;) You see by the time we all get ready for dinner its a quick one and just about everyone is hungry. So most of the time I feed Andrew and then he'll finish hinself with a fruit bar etc. But last night he just seemed to be rather fussy so I said lets play with a spoon and see how we do....while I finished cooking.

He is attempting to eat Mac & Cheese Soup off of his tray....its a thick soup so he doesnt have too much trouble getting it with his fingers. But I decided to put it in a bowl and see how he would do.

He did GREAT!! I think they have been allowing him to practice in his new toddler class. Its okay.....but still very messy. I guess we will see how it goes tonight......but either way these pics and videos are hilarious!


In this video Im attempting to get him to say "Please" which he did 3 times in a row bf I turned on the camera. We are sharing a cup of yogurt!


Next time we will try something I little less messy ;)

Oh the Tantrums!

We have hit the Toddler Tantrums! Oh my....it goes from gold to you know what in a matter of seconds. Case in point.

I wanted Andrew to take a pic with an ornament I recieved participating in an ornament exhange.


Where it proceeded to call it a "Ball!" and hurl it across the room! Thank goodness we dont have those hardwoord floors we crave yet bc it for sure would have broken.

So I had to take it. Explaining to him that you can't thrown this "Ball!" in particular wasnt sinking in. Taking the "Ball!" led to this:


So there is my proof when he reaches high school that he threw pretty funny tantrums. Next time I really want it on video. These pictures dont do the "tantrums" and justice at all!

But for now here are a few more pics of the sweet boy! Still loves Zeke....as you can see Zeke still doesnt care!


We are leaving for OH in less then 2 weeks! We honestly cant wait! Merry Christmas!!

Sword Fights!

Oh the joy an empty wrapping paper tub can bring :) Looks like Tim is having way more fun than Andrew.



Andrew was able to visit Santa last week at daycare. He dosent look too thrilled huh? I think we are still planning to take him to the mall so we can see how he reacts. It should be fun ;)


Last but not least....I know this has nothing to do with Andrew but Im trying new things. The first time Andew seen me this way he didnt quite know what to think. But I like it! Tim not so much....but change is always positive. Its not permanent but its different.

We have a Climber!

Its almost THanksgiving!!? Can yuo belive that? It seems like the year has flown by. Here are a few photos and videos....I seem to have more of those these days.

Andrew just continues to amaze us!

Big Hair!

Somebody is getting more and more hair every day! These pics just crack me up....oh and a video to boot!



What baby doesnt like a balloon! Goofing around in true Andrew fashion! I could just eat this little boy.....we are having the time of our lives!

Hardly Any Updates; Just Pictures

So Tim has been teching Andrew how to give Zeke kitty treats. Here are a few pics of the show. Andrew seems to like it...No?



Thats right, family pics past his 1yr bday. They turned out great and I still cant decide which prints I cant live without, or grace our Christmas cards this year. Give credit to Laura Brett Photography.


Andrew goes for his 14m appt tomorrow, I hope I have some good stats to report. He may make the switch tomorrow and by switch I mean facing forward in his car seat! Scary it's all happening so fast!
