Bring on the gates!



It's official, Andrew is a man on a mission!! Bless his sweet, laid back heart, he just wasn't as eager to move as I had anticipated. I think he had so many other things to watch for so long that he was entertained. But those days of setting him in front of a box of toys and getting ready in the morning is over!


Last week I went along with our normal routine and had Barney in the background and toys in front of Andrew, went upstairs to finish getting ready. Jackson had come up to get dressed and we went down to do the shoe and coat routine...I walked around the corner and he was GONE!! Toys, check...Barney, check...Drew...MIA. And then I heard him drumming the wall, sure enough behind the couch standing up on the side of a chair was Andrew. Smiling as proud as can be, hitting the wall like it was the trophy he had earned! Jackson and I laughed, Andrew laughed and we told him what a "big boy" he is.


Still, crawling is not of a lot of interest to him. Unless he can see the next standing opportunity, then he'll work until he is standing. So it begins, the head bonking and learning what can hold you and what can't.


Good for you baby Drew!

Love the sleeping picture. Must have really tired himself out. He'll be running after Jackson before you know it. Fun times ahead!

Way to go Andrew! We knew it wasn't going to be long.

We hope to share with each of you the part of our life that brings us great joy, our boys. This has been created for each of you who have touched our lives, and to keep us connected with those of you who we don't see as often as we would like. Enjoy!
