Golf Shoes

Have I mention how much Andrew LOVES golf? Well he does. He will scoot around all over the house hitting balls and swinging that club. I think I have developed a sixth sense when it comes to dodging a swinging golf club! Andrew has some plastic clubs to play with, but he really prefers the real thing.

Bye Bye Mobile

Andrew's mobile was the inspiration for his nursery. I bought it when Steve and I were up in Montana visiting his sister and her family. I loved the bright, primary colors and the happy little bugs. Even though this mobile didn't move or play music Andrew still loved to lay and stare up at it. Lately though, he has been having a lot more fun with it. When he wakes up I hear the usual chitter-chatter that comes from his room, but there has also been a strange clanking sound. I come in to find my angel of a son standing in his crib and his mobile swinging violently in a tangled mess. Time to take it down.

Using Ol' Lefty!

Andrew got his Bamboo Brace in the mail yesterday! He is still getting used to it, but it does seem to help stabilize that left arm and give him more strength. I can't wait for therapy this week to see what activities the therapists suggest to make the most of our new toy :o)

When Andrew is really concentrating his left hand will clench up super tight which is actually a good thing when he needs to grip a toy. He used his left hand to help hold the blocks as he "squished" the other blocks on top. (I swear I even heard him say "squish" a couple times while we were playing)

What a cutie! This is the face Andrew makes when I say, "Show me your cute face!" I love my sweet little Andrew!

Where's Andrew?

Andrew loves to play Peek-A-Boo.
Yesterday he put his sweater on his head and thought it was the funniest thing ever... which it was!

Christmas 2011

This year we headed to Colorado to spend the holiday with Steve's family. Andrew seemed much more aware of Christmas this year (which made it even more fun). He had fun playing with the bows on presents, trying to play with the ornaments on the tree and ripping open Christmas presents. He absolutely loved his present (as you can see from the look on his face) and loves to scoot around all over the house.

Andrew was NOT a fan of Santa!
We met up with Janis, Ben and Baby Zeek at the mall to get pictures with Santa. Andrew seemed happy enough until he sat on the jolly man's lap. This was taken just prior to the melt down. Maybe next year Santa won't seem so scary.
