20 Months

Andrew turned 20 months on 8/3/2011. Hard to believe he will be 2 in 4 months. Owen is working on asking Andrew how old he is and for Andrew to answer 2. Andrew almost has it.

We have seen such growth in Andrew. Some of the things he is doing are:

* He adores Ralphie. He has always liked Ralphie but there is a new found love that has been discovered over the past few weeks.
* He loves fruit. He does not eat alot of chicken or meat at all for that matter. He loves hot dogs and will eat ham. However at school he eats all sorts of things. I think he is the hungriest at lunch.
* He usually tells Owen what he wants for breakfast - breakfast is daddy and Andrew time.
* He has renamed Gramps - Mick and Grandy - Ahah..it is really funny.
* He is very good at pointing pictures out of books, like bike, bucket, truck, etc...
* Academy Sports is building in Hattiesburg and Andrew loves going by the work site. He gets giddy over the "big trucks" and the dirt mountains.
* He is putting words together very well. He gets shy when learns something new until he feels he has master it and then will say or do the new thing loud and clear.
* He sings along to some of his songs on his cd we play in the car.
* He LOVES going outside. I am going to have to start putting bug spray on him though b/c the poor thing gets eaten alive by mosquitoes even if we are outside for 10 minutes.
* He is such a joy to be around and so fun.
* We are keeping up with our night time routine. We have dinner b/ 5-5:30 and then bath at 6 pm followed by bed time. I think he plays so hard during the day that he is so tired by 6 pm. I enjoy our night time story time and hugs and kisses before bed.
* He still takes two short naps on the weekends and one nap at school.
* He moved to the older one year class this month and made a smooth transition. It helped that he already knew the teacher and most of the kids in his class. When he moves to the younger 2 year old class, we will start the potty training process.
