In less than one month, I will have a 1 year old! So crazy, and exciting. The other day, Steven and I were watching Andrews home videos of when he was brand new, and it made us so sad at how fast it has gone by, but we absolutely love this stage. We've recently witnessed many tantrums, a bit of attitude, and now know that this stage is full of actual parenting. At first, all we did was change bums, give baths, feed, and play....but now he is learning SOOO fast. It is unreal at how smart infants are. When Drew doesn't get what he wants, he definitely lets us know. Andrew loves to grab Stevens glasses, and every time he tries to pull them off his head, Steven says, "NO NO." Well.. a few days ago every time Steven would tell Andrew "NO", Andrew would scratch Stevens leg and scream at him. We were both trying so hard not to laugh, because it was really funny to see him get mad at Steven. After a few minutes of Andrew not getting what he wanted, and scratching the crap out of Stevens leg, we both were like, "What the heck do we do?!?!" We had no idea on how to teach him not to scratch, and that he was hurting someone. I guess it is time for some serious parenting books!!! Any advice is much appreciated :)
Other than learning how to parent a child, we have been having a blast! Grandma Coreen came down last week and stayed for a few days, and spoiled us!!! Drew sure loves his grandma!!! She bought him a new car that plays music. It is his new favorite toy, but.. it doesn't have an OFF switch. Why on earth wouldn't a childs toy have an OFF switch these days?!?!?! Andrew absolutely loves it..as for Steven and I.. not so much.! We hear Yankee Doodle, London Bridge, and the Barney song ALLLL day long. :)
The infamous car
He loves his nini-- (binki)
Getting into mischief.. he loves to turn the bathtub on, and off, so I tried to put his bouncy chair in front of the tub to prevent him from turning it on. After a few minutes I could hear him in the bathroom grunting, so I peeked in, and saw him trying to move the bouncy chair! After a few minutes he had moved the chair about a foot, and got to the tub! Little stink!!!!
His favorite thing is when I let him hold his own juice box when we are at the pool
All spiffed-up for church!
A few other recent faves:
His favorite treats are otter pops, he loves being chased by daddy, and then getting tickled, his favorite song is Itsy Bitsy Spider, and sometimes he tries to do the actions, he recently graduated from size 3 diapers, he loves to try and get off the bed/sofa himself (He thinks he does it by himself), he loves his belly button, now has 6 teeth, loves to sit on daddys lap in the car, and honk the horn, thinks it is hilarious to mimic people, loves to "sing" hymns in church, and absolutely loves swimming in the pool.
We sure love this little guy! xoxo
