back in time ;)

While skimming through my MANY pictures that still need to be posted I came across a folder that had Andrew's first year! Even though my baby is just around the corner from turning 2, I still thought it fun to see his first year! WOW!

September 5, 2011

My baby is 19 months old!!!!

And this is one BIG kid!!
We were a month late on his 18month well check but he is one healthy little man nonetheless. Clean bill of health and another big growth spurt between 15months and now. At least, we know all that food he is eating is actually needed!

19month stats:
Weight - 27lbs 7oz (70-75%)
Height - 34in (90%)
head circ - 19 3/4in (>95%)

We are still so amazed at how fast this little boy is growing! We aren't use to having the "big kid". Most people are stunned when I tell them how old he (assuming he is over 2!). And in reality he is actually already taller then BOTH the girls were at the age of two, BY AN ENTIRE INCH!!

Andrew, you are still one fiesty little dude!!!! You've got a smile that will melt anyones heart and a laugh that is so contagious you can't help but join right in. But we must not forget that little temper of yours. When you want something, you make it known to EVERYONE! And since your words and wants still aren't always clear your frustration level is through the roof!
This shirt definitely suits you well some days! hehe!

WILD, DIRTY, UNCONTROLLABLE......yep all words that describe you buddy! 

As far as food, you LOVE chicken! That is definitely your main protein! You can eat your weight in chicken I think. There really haven't been too many changes in your likes and dislikes over the last few months. The veggies and fruits are still through plumtots. You REFUSE to eat them whole. just strange. But as long as you get them in, I'm ok with it. You do still get formula first thing in the morning and about 30 minutes after dinner. It just stinks that you love milk but can't have it. It would make things so much easier. Since cheese is your main source of dairy (and even that is limited) we did start you on a calcium supplement just to make sure. You do still love just about any carbohydrate though.

Your activity level is still CONSTANT! As I have said, even before you were born, you NEVER stop moving! You are always running, climbing, jumping you name it! Wherever your little feet will take you is where you will go. Thankfully, you are now starting to listen more though. So long as I keep on you and not let my guard down, you stay relatively close. You still love to play catch with Daddy most nights before bedtime. And lets face it, he really loves it too! You LOVE being chased! You never seem to tire of it!

Your favorite phrases right now are "look!" and "what's that?" you are constantly pointing at things all around and wanting to hear what everything is called. You repeat certain words and others you just like hearing. "Fish" and "shark" are by far your most favorite words.

I love seeing you play with your sisters as well! They are really starting to let you do more activities with them and you are loving it!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH BUBBA!!

Andrew and Daddy

Having a discussion about the upcoming football season...
as Daddy says, " It's never too soon to start preparing!"

She really can't get enough....

of her brother and he can't get enough of her!!

sweet baby

This was taken over a month ago when he caught a little cold. He was really congested one night and ended up sleeping on my chest on the couch. When the girls got up the next morning and just laid him down on the couch and he just looked so precious. He stayed asleep for roughly another hour after. He was definitely a worn out little guy!

Mr. Shark

In honor of shark week starting tonight, we've got our shark gear on!!
This picture was actually taken last month but seemed appropriate to post today. hehe!

 I have to admit that I LOVE the boys section at Crazy 8!! The've got some cute stuff for girls as well, but lets face it, there are TONS of clothes for girls. I never get all that excited about shopping for the next size when Andrew needs them (and I have been fortunate enough to this point to still be benefitting from lots of hand me downs from Aunt Kayla and some fellow twin moms) BUT I could honestly buy out the Crazy 8 boys section!!!

Never a dull moment

As you can see, this boy is no longer allowed in the kitchen when I'm making dinner!
I had my back turned only for a few moments and then find him in the middle of the table. Oh this boy!! 
Against my better judgement, I let him stay a few extra moments while I snapped pictures!
AGAIN, neither of his sisters EVER did this! I had to have proof of the "trouble" this little one likes to get into.
Being the third baby in the house, I do tend to be a little more relaxed about his "adventures" but he always seems to remind me that he really can't be left unsupervised, even for a moment 
what a rascal!!

*These pictures were actually from a few weeks ago and his climbing skills are even faster and more fearless now!!! I just keep praying that when he tumbles he stays away from landing on his head and/or teeth!! Just last week he flipped off the back side of the couch. And now that the carpet is gone, it wasn't such a soft landing. I sure wish this boy would quit giving me heart attacks!

Shark shop

Can't visit Port A without a visit to the shark shop





outside the store was a silly old man and his monkey.... needless to say we had to have our picture taken with the monkey
Meet April, the monkey.
the girls were never to sure about seeing a her so close
Then all of sudden this crazy man put April on my head! As you can see, I was definitely caught off guard
The girls definitely thought this was funny
watch out
All the girls in their mexican attire

Best photo!!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!

I don't think I could have gotten a better one if I tried!
