Yeah, Daddy is home! ...

Yeah, Daddy is home! Andrew and I were home alone for a whole week while Ryan was in San Antonio for a work conference. Andy was a very good boy, so that made it easier.

We went to visit our new cousin Marcus last weekend. He is so little and cute. What a difference between a newborn and a one year old.

Andrew spent an hour or so each day at Grandma and Grandpa's after daycare while I finished up at work. He had fun times and especially likes to sit on the bench outside of the pizza shop and sample the ice cream next door at Charlie's. Cousin Charlie was also there a couple of the days to play with.

Next week, Andrew's daycare is closed all week. We are looking forward to having Grandma Connie and Grandpa Dave coming to visit as well spend the days with Andrew.

Andrew is really into shoes now and will try to put his own shoes on or put mom and dad's shoes on. He will also bring us our shoes if we ask for them. He mastered climbing up the ladder of his little slide and sitting down to go down the slide.

Daddy should check his email for a 123Greetings card! Happy Birthday Ryan, Mom

Andrew had his 15 month check up today. He got a good report from the doctor. He got two shots and a finger stick to check his hemoglobin. The shots were not fun, and led to the dreaded silent cry. He did miss his nap this afternoon, so adding that to the pokes, made him sad for some of the evening, but was back to happy after supper.

We went to the fire department last week. Pretty interesting to see the living quarters and the fire trucks up close. We did get some cute pictures with the fire trucks.

Ah yes, I forgot to add this one... thanks Grandma for reminding me... If you ask Andrew where's the puppy, or where's your shoes for example, he will lift his hands up and shrug his shoulders to gesture "I don't know" if he doesn’t see it.

Yesterday he also starting sitting at the "big" little table with the other kids at NDSU when he eats. I sat him down there this morning for breakfast -- makes him look so old.

Last week, we had a ...

Last week, we had a "sick" week in the house. Ryan had the stomach flu and Andrew and I had a terrible cold. We made it through and were feeling all better by the end of the week. Ryan umpired baseball in Jamestown over the weekend, so Andrew and I headed to the cities to visit Reese & Isaac. We went to Como Zoo in St. Paul. Andrew liked seeing all of the animals. We also attended Cousin Reese's gymnastics performance.

Andrew has been spending some afternoons with Grandma Teresa & Grandpa Peter now that his daycare closes a little bit earlier. Cousin Charlie has also been there and is excited to show Andrew the ropes.

Andrew loves to dance to his favorite music. He hears a song and starts bopping up and down. He will get his arms into it if he really likes the song. He has also mastered spinning around in a circle.

It's getting easier to understand what he wants, too. He will point to the fridge when he wants a drink and nod yes to something he wants. When we said "Who's Andy" he pointed to himself tonight. Or at least we think he pointed to himself, but it could have also been the alligator on his shirt. Ha!

We are looking forward to a tour of the Fire Department a little later in the month with the other NDSU Center families.

I can't believe all the things he is learning! What a cutie! We need to get together more often.

I thought it was cute when I asked him where something was and he lifted his hand like I don't know.
