Almost walking!

Andrew has been doing some more walking lately. He walks between pieces of furniture and from furniture to mom or dad. Pretty soon he will be running around! Dave and I are going to Florida for a few days and we are a little anxious about leaving him but we know Opa and Oma will take good care of him.

Do I dare let go?

Here I come!

Relaxing with his favorite beverage.

Its so sunny out today!

Hi Andrew fans!

Someday I'll be able to reach the kitties.

You can see where Andrew gets his observation skills.

Spring is Here!

We are so happy for the warmer weather so Andrew can play outside every day. He loves walking around the yard, tasting leaves and playing with the neighbor's dog. Here's Andrew sorting shapes. He likes taking them in and out of the bucket and moving them behind him one by one.

Andrew loves the cookie jar from Uncle Frank and Aunt Kathy. He can put the circle shape back in all by himself and will do it over and over.

Discovering daffodils. I was trying to get a nice spring picture but he actually wasn't very interested in posing.

There's so much to see!

Time to Eat!

I have been trying to do more finger foods with Andrew and I gave him a little baby spoon to use. I help him scoop the food up and he puts the spoon in his mouth! Its a little messy and lots of fun! I'm probably the only mom in the world who always forgets to put a bib on her child. I can feed myself.

This is so much fun! Hooray!

What the heck? Pancakes?

Discovering bananas.

Andrew loves using his walker to practice his walking skills.

Possibly the world's cutest and most clever baby.

Hey, Mom! Andrew cruising around the coffee table.

Andrew's fascinated by bubbles.

Why can't I seem to catch these?

Might as well take the other one off.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Andrew has been working on his walking skills and is gaining more confidence wobbling around. He loves playing with his blocks and all his different toys that light up and make noise. His new trick is to give me a kiss on the cheek when I say, "kiss". We went out to see Dave's family this past weekend to celebrate his mom's birthday.I love my Grandma!

What a good looking family! Andrew was a little shy around Uncle Ryan.

I always swore would never take a picture of my kids with food on their faces because I thought it was so gross, but somehow its really cute when it happens to Andrew!

Andrew can feed himself his bottle...another ten minutes of free time for mama!

Andrew loves playing the "drums" I create for him. Anyone wanna start a band?
