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.

We just picked up Andrew's photos from Walmart. There is also another one from daycare. Also posted is Andrew's first artwork - finger painting! The last artwork is for a fundraiser - so you can purchase this on notecards, cups, calendars, etc...it might be famous someday!

Happy Halloween!

I see a scary person...wait that's my mom! RUN! Me and my little cutie!

Andrew's Weekend

Andrew had a fun weekend. His teeth are still coming in and give him a little bit of trouble, but he has been a pretty funny boy. His new favorite thing is to grasp your hands while he is sitting and to pull himself up. He is pretty proud of himself after this. His new favorite food is graham crackers and will eat them at any time of the day. There are also pictures of him in his new bath seat (great for our backs!). He likes playing with his duck decoys.

Just You Wait...

Just you wait until I start crawling.....then I will really be into everything!

My two front teeth

Andrew had an eventful weekend. He is getting his two front teeth and they are so cute. Poor baby though didn't like them coming in and has been a bit grumpy all weekend. He also went and had his pictures taken, he wouldn't smile at all. We tried everything, including making fools of ourselves in the photo studio (things we would never have done before Andrew). We also went to church today and Andrew thought what he had to say (or yell) was much more important than what was being said in the homily. He is such a sweet boy and we love every day with him

After watching this video you might wonder what happened to Andrew after this video was taken.....well...he was just fine, in fact he was laughing:)

Hey, what is this for???
Mmmm...this is yummy
Mommies cute little turkey (this cute outfit is from Nana, of course for Thanksgiving, but why not wear it early??)
Dad, you're fun!
Ohhhhh......my moo cow book.....

Tired Out

Andrew fell asleep in his high chair tonight after eating dinner. He was so tired from his fun filled day at daycare.
