Bruiser Andrew

Recently I've been watching my friend's four year old while she's been finishing a Spanish class. The other day I heard him squealing with desperation from the other room, "Elizabeth, help me! Hurry!" I came running into the room only to find Andrew on top of him with a firm grip on both ears and chomping on his cheek! I pulled Andrew off of him and he had the hugest smile on his face and started laughing! I think Andrew has a bit of a spunky personality in him- not sure where he gets it from.

You know you're a serious snuggler when...

This might be too much for some of you, so move on if you're not interested.

For years Mike has patiently put up with a snuggly wife. Sure, there have been comments such as, "Hey, I was comfortable until you got here!" However, for the most part he's been a good sport. Well, last week I got my wisdom teeth out and the dentist recommended covering my pillow with a towel to catch the bloody drool- he should have told me to cover Mike's pillow! When we woke up the next morning the only bloody drool was on Mike's pillow and his shoulder! Ha!! We had a good laugh about it and I was kind enough to wash our sheets and pillow cases that day.

Pulling Up

Andrew is experiencing a whole new world since he learned to pull himself up on furniture (or anything he can find). He has become quite the little helper these last few weeks. As soon as the dishwasher opens he is right there, and he also loves to "help" with the laundry. He often reaches things we thought were totally out of his range. As you can see in the last picture, all his exploring can sometimes lead to a frustrating and precarious situation!

We're In

We decided these pictures of Andrew were cute enough to finally start a blog! While getting Andrew ready for a bath, I put him on the table to let him see the room from a different view. He quickly found the bowl of tomatoes from our garden and went to town. Can you see the tomato juice all over the table?!
