Happy Turkey Day - a few days late

Hi All,
Andrew enjoyed some turkey, not on turkey day but today. The poor baby has been sick (....again...), he had the croup. The rumors are true about the croup, he sounded like a barking dog. He seems to be getting a little better just in time to cut some more teeth. I flew back in from Candice's wedding on Thanksgiving just in time to make it to our friends house for lunch. Andrew wasn't feeling so well so we had to skip out a little early. However, today Andrew tried turkey for the first time and loved it, he also had a taste of an orange and thought that it was very interesting. We have spent the last few days catching up, as it seems like I have been gone so much. I think he might be sick of me as he almost jumped for joy when he saw Nelson this afternoon. I found out today that Andrew loves to dance. In my despiration to find some way to entertain his afternoon fussiness I started to dance and he started to laugh. I picked him up and we danced together as long as my arms could take it. He kicked his feet, clapped his hands and laughed...it was a lot of fun!
Enjoy the new pictures.

Andrew is all over the place. He loves his Christmas gift from Papa and Nana Olivier, that arrived yesterday. However, he doesn't like to sit in it alone so mom or dad has to be in there with him. He also tries to pull himself up on the walls.

Papa and Nana Olivier visit!

Hello all! Sorry for the blogging hiatus. Andrew's Papa and Nana Olivier came to visit while I went to a conference in Savannah, GA. He did really well while I was gone, but I missed him so much. While away he learned to crawl better, learned to wave byebye (only when he wants to) and expanded his verbal skills. He also went for long walks, went shopping and enjoyed spending time with his grandparents. Here are some pictures while I was away.
