Marching


A video of Andrew while we were watching the Thanksgiving Day parade.

Trip to the Science Center in Des Moines


























Today we went to The Science Center. Andrew really enjoyed it all. He saw and built robots, saw snakes, shopped for vegetables, made bubbles and enjoyed looking around. We had a great time. There was so much to do and see, too much for one day.

November 23, 2008

Today warmed up to almost 50 degrees, the snow melted so we headed outside. We had a good time with Andrew.



I took Andrew to a kids play place in Ankeny - he had a blast. My camera is malfunctioning so sorry for the lack of picture quality.
















Eating left over Halloween candy.







Playing with his friend Declan - they are good buddies.






Daddy and Andrew in the box.
November has been a very busy month for us. Andrew now can speak over 50 words and he is still in the "no" phase, sometimes it is funny and other times frustrating.
He loves to sing and dance, play blocks and spends endless hours playing with his cars (of course we play too). I was out of town for a meeting for an entire week - Andrew and Nelson had good quality bonding time. Luckily Andrew didn't give me the cold shoulder when I got back, much to my relief.
We are now able to take Andrew out to different places which is fun. Friday night he enjoyed Japenese for the first time with some vegetarian sushi. He has play sushi with is kitchen stuff so it was fun to see him eat the real thing.
We are looking forward to the holidays. We won't be going home for Thanksgiving but will for Christmas, only a few weeks away!
