Our Andrew is a curious, energetic little devil who knows exactly what he wants and basically gets it. He is a typical toddler who loves to run, jump, climb, explore and play. His most favorite toy is his older brother - whether James likes it or not. His dimples melt my heart and his laugh brings joy to everyone around him. We are seeing evidence of the "terrible two's" entering our world, but rather than fight it, we are choosing to ignore it. :)
So let's talk milestones.
We Have a Talker!
I am amazed everyday by the words that come out of Andrew's little mouth. We started with "ball" as his first word and since then he has added Mama, Dada, Jms (James), doggie, duckie, more, boat, thank you, bus, and fishy. Now, if you heard him say many of these words, you would be like "Wha??" But as his Mommy, I can hear him loud and clear!
You Got Me?
We are LOVING the amount of stuff that Andrew comprehends these days. When getting ready to leave the house, if you ask him to get his shoes, he runs to get them. And mine. And James'! If you say, "Andrew - it's time to go take a bath," he runs to the gate and points to the stairs. When you start singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" he is touching each body part as you sing. It's incredible! We LOVE to see his little brain at work. He is truly learning something new every single day.
Kisses!!!
This kid really knows how to dole out kisses. Now that he is a little man, when you ask him for a kiss, he comes running into your arms and gives you a big, sweet kiss. Or he head butts you. They both mean the same thing. :) Lately, he has been kissing on his Ernie, Elmo and Cookie Monster bath tub toys and each night, before going to bed he gives kisses to big brother James. We love seeing that softer, loving side of him. Makes us see that he is going to be not only strong and tough, but also sweet and nurturing.
