VACATION 2008!

We had a great visit down at Grandma and Pawpaw's house last week!! The weather was great, lots of pool visits, and some other exciting stuff!

Mickey and Pookie are feeding the birds on the ferry ride we took to Fort Fisher. (Note - When you give little kids who love bread some bread to throw up and feed the birds with, they would rather eat it....)



Andrew became quite the little walker this week!







Here is Andrew with Mommy before dinner out at Mr. P's! (That was some good food!)






Love you, Grandma!

First trip to the ZOO!

Andrew went to the zoo 2 weeks ago for the first time in his whole life! (Daddy always says "for the first time in your whole life" to new things that Pookie does!)

We went to the Louisville Zoo with Jennifer, Jeannie, Karen, and Rachel. It was a lot of fun!!!! Here are some pictures to prove it!!


This one is with Daddy on the train.
(The whistle was NOT a hit with Andrew or Rachel!)














Andrew petting the goat in the kids petting zoo!










Here are Andrew and Rachel! We are so glad that they are friends!













Mommy, Pookie, Jennifer, and the elephants!

Pictures from June!

Here are some random June (and late May) pictures! I am trying to get caught up!! Andrew is growing like a weed! Hard to believe he's going to be 15 months on July 4th!



























Here, Andrew is getting his jam on at Kindermusic! You go, little guy!!!

Where has the time gone???

Tomorrow, Andrew will be 14 months old! I can't believe how quickly he has grown!!!! He amazes me everyday!

He is, by normal standard charts, a HUGE boy! He is 35" long and weighs about 29 pounds. He eats all normal table foods, drinks only from a sippie cup, and puts himself to sleep at night with little to no crying. He loves to dance and it is hilarious when he does! The child looks like he does the twist!!

We say lots of words now. You have to listen really carefully because his little voice is so high and sweet! He says mama, dada, hi, bye, cup, duck, book, ball, dog, bear, bible (that's great!), and lots of other words. He also moo's like a cow and will bark at dogs.

We are almost walking without holding on. He will take 2-3 steps and then just crawl because it's so much faster for him. He loves people and will walk more towards people than toys or anything else.

Overall, it has been a great thing to have him in our lives. I can't imagine what I would have done without him. We are hoping to add to the family sometime in the future. Andrew is very active, but very loving, and I wouldn't trade him for the world!!

Love you, Buddy!!

Love
Mommy

New pictures!

Here are some new pictures taken within the last few weeks. Andrew loves to play under his highchair!!! Also, a few are from Andrew's friend Zack's birthday party! (Andrew wet his pants, so he has on an outfit that doesn't exactly match! haha!) I love the picture of him sitting with the other kids on the parachute! He looks so grown up!!!!

Mema's Funeral

Here are some pictures from our trip to NC for Mema's funeral. It was good to see everyone but sad in the circumstance.
