Things Andrew Can Do At 10 Months

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I feel like Andrew is a very smart boy. He has already learned so much in his short life. Needless to say, we are very proud of him!!
Things Andrew can do:
1. Walk everywhere without holding onto anything. He seems to walk way more than crawl these days.
2. Climb our stairs, over pillows, over guitars that [...]

Sleep Issues

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Andrew has never been the best sleeper in the world but a couple of months ago we were making some excellent progress. He was starting to sleep the entire night or only wake up once at around 5. This schedule made this exhausted mommy very happy. But then, all of a sudden things reverted back [...]

A Flood

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Last Wednesday we had some very heavy rain and unfortunately our basement flooded with about 3 feet of water.

Playgroup

This morning Andrew and I went to the NoVa Playgroup with our friends Jenn and David. We met at Hayes Park which is one of the best parks in our area. They have swings, slides, a sandbox, picnic tables and the best part is a water fountain that all of the kids can play in. [...]

Summer Fun

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Monday is David’s day off so we spent the day relaxing and hanging out. In the afternoon, we took Andrew for a walk and stopped by our neighborhood snow cone place. Andrew loved the snow cones and made cute little noises when he shared one with me. If he really likes something, he says “num [...]
