Happy Birthday Andrew!

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

I can’t believe my baby boy turned 1 yesterday. On Friday night before David and I went to bed we took five minutes and looked through all of the pictures that we have taken of/with Andrew over the past year. It has been the best year of my life and I have loved every moment [...]

Dangerous!

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Over the past couple of weeks my little guy has become very brave and has started climbing EVERYTHING. I have to put the chairs to his table away because if I don’t, this is what happens:

Another cute thing that happened the same day as the chair incident was when Drew woke up from his nap, [...]

Happy Birthday Nathan!

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Nathan, one of the boys that I babysit, celebrates his first birthday today. He and Andrew are only 4 days apart and have become great friends. They love each other very much and play so well together. Drew definitely misses his playmate on the weekends and gets very excited on Monday mornings whenever Nathan [...]

My Big Boy

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Over the past couple of weeks Andrew has become so independent. Don’t get me wrong, he loves his mommy and relies on her quite a bit. What I am saying is that he enjoys doing things himself. Whenever he started walking, he developed an attitude about himself. He thinks he is bigger/older than he actually [...]

Weaning Day 3= No such luck!

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I didn’t have time to go to the store for some strawberry syrup (thanks Beth!) so I tried the other suggestion (thanks Nina!) and warmed the milk before giving it to him. You would think after 3 days of giving him his cup with this wonderful liquid that babies require he would give in and [...]

Paci Thief

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Andrew is officially the paci thief. He hasn’t taken one since he was 4 months old but he loves to pull them out of the mouth of every baby who does take one. For months I have been telling him no no and that we don’t take other people’s pacifiers. After constant scolding for being [...]

Weaning Day 1 & 2= Fail

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

Drew is almost 1 year old so I have begun the process of weaning from breastmilk to whole milk. Not an easy task! Yesterday, I gave him one of his favorite sippy cups with milk thinking that he will drink it immediately. Things don’t always go as planned. He immediately threw the cup in my [...]

Look at me!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

I have started cleaning house on Fridays while Nathan is here to entertain Drew. This past Friday, Andrew thought that he would help me sweep/vacuum the living room. I can’t wait until this actually happens!!
I can do this for you, Mom!

He would actually play with this sweeper for hours if I let him. A great [...]
