Family Aquarium Trip

Andrew and I have been to the Aquarium several times but never with Chad. We decided to take a family trip there on Sunday since we now have a family membership! Andrew was more interested in the lights on the floor, mirrors on the wall and pushing around his stroller. A lady walked by us (while he was on the floor playing with the lights) and said, "you pay $20 and he wants to play with the lights!" I added that he enjoyed the stroller and vents as well!!

He is even dressed like he works at the zoo or something- ready to see the wildlife!
Check out the hat- he actually kept it on for a little while!

Chad wouldn't let him put his hands in the water to pet the sting rays because he was too nervous!
But Mommy let him and he LOVED it!!!

Roly Poly

Aren't we mean!!! We watched this happen...and I took pictures, because it was too funny to stop! Andrew didn't realize how steep his front yard was! Chad helped him up at the end because his hat was covering his eyes and he couldn't see to walk!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

How cute is Andrew in his winter hat?? He won't keep any other hats on except this one. I thought it may be because it ties on the bottom, but he's never even tried to take it off!! He must just know how cute he looks in it! Andrew loved watching the reindeer light up and move- he wanted to pull them down though.

Happy Thanksgiving

Here's my little turkey that I am most thankful for!!! I had Thanksgiving at my house this year and my family came here from Nashville! It was a pretty low stress day- surprisingly. I didn't have much trouble cooking and Andrew was very good, and took great naps!! These pictures were actually taken after everyone left and he woke up from his nap- in a great mood!! He had a fun day- he ate lots of turkey, played with his cousins and watched football with his daddy!! What a life!

Oh Christmas Tree

Trying to get a picture of Andrew in front of the tree is pretty difficult. I wasn't able to put any ornaments on the bottom of the tree this year, but he still managed to reach some and particularly likes the ones that shatter when you drop them!! He also liked the metal one that put notches in the hardwood when he beat it on the floor!!


Andrew loves to touch Merrick's face!
Such a tolerant big cousin!!

Family Photo- Yeah Right!

We attempted to get a picture of the cousins together in front of the Christmas tree, but that wasn't really happening!
Here's McKenzie giving Andrew lots of hugs!

Choke hold or hug???

12 Month Pictures

Here are some of Andrew's 12 month pictures from the photographer....he's 14 months now! I think they turned out really well, especially the family pics! We won't be doing pictures every 3 months anymore now that he's getting older, but I'll still be taking lots at home!

Happy 2nd Birthday Carly!

Sunday we went to Carly's birthday party at the Little Gym- what a great place to have a party! She had lots of fun and looked so pretty in her birthday dress- as usual!! Thanks for inviting us!

What a Weekend

Do you see the distress in his little eyes? Andrew wasn't too excited about the party- he wouldn't let go of my legs or neck.




I've got my Mommy right where I want her!!

Baby Gymnist!

Here are some cute pictures of Andrew at the party- remember pictures are deceiving! As much as I love my child- he was the clingiest- fussiest child there. I guess in his defense he'd never been there and there were a lot of kids and he was scared, but come on, he;s supposed to love running around with other kids!

Happy Early Birthday Abby!

My best friend in Nashville, Dee-Dee went ahead and had her daughter Abby's 4th birthday party since they are moving away on Sat. We wouldn't have missed it for anything, even though a car ride with my son is hell!!


What is his obsession with shoes?

Birthday Fun!

Here's some pictures of the festivities at the birthday party!
Only at Abby's parties are there more kids than adults!!
The girls dressed as princesses and the boys as pirates- well, 1 boy!!
Abby beating the crap out of the pinata!
With all the fun stuff to do, of course, Andrew kept running into the street to play
Here he goes again!
Until he realized there was candy on the ground from the pinata!
