Andrew at 27 Months Old

"Silly Goose"

This is a phrase that Andrew is now saying. We think it is so funny. And Silly Goose sums up Andrew at 27 months perfectly. He is charming, smart and a joy to be around.

Here are a couple of his silly moments in pictures.





We are now having conversations with Andrew. Well we have been but his 2 to 3 phrases are now becoming true sentences. He is a sweet boy who still loves his momma. I am still doing the night time routine with him. We read 3 books, say our prayers, sing "Twinkle, Twinkle little star", Trucks (an Owen original song), "I love you" (from Barney) and the ABC's.

We have pushed his bed time back to 7 pm. We now eat together as a family when Owen gets home around 6 pm. I love family dinners, but it is causing me some stress b/c Andrew doesn't eat as much when he is eating what we eat. So hopefully this changes soon.

He can say his ABC's. He just now started saying K better. It used to be j,j and when he would use a K word it sounded like T. But this is getting better.

He can count to 10, but skips 7. He consistently forgets the #7.

Andrew is very opinionated and can be a little bossy. But he gets that honestly from me.

We call Saturdays "Pancake Day" because Andrew some how knows when it is Saturday and requests pancakes for breakfast. This means Owen and him get to go to McDonalds in their pjs and get pancakes for everyone. Andrew loves it! He wants the butter on his pancakes and syrup to dip the pancakes in.

He takes one nap a day. On weekends this is becoming more of an issue than ever before. Andrew has always been a good napper, but recently it has been hard for him to wind down and take a nap at home. He now gets out of his bed to play. But he does listen to bribes so this is working for now. For example, I told him he can't throw his animals and pillows down or he won't get to watch any Fireman Sam for the rest of the day. So what does Andrew do...he still throws all of his animals down, plays a little bit and then puts them back on his bed when he falls asleep. I have seen him do this on the video monitor. Fireman Sam has been a great bargaining tool at our house.

I think that sums up Andrew for the month. I am sure I am missing some fun memories.
