Happy Halloween!

Walking

Finally caught him on video!

Halloween Teaser

Bubbles

Some kids have a blanket they drag around with them. My kid? A bottle of bubbles.

Bathrobe

He's outgrowing his bathrobe so a new one has been added to his Christmas wish list. OK, my wish list. I can't imagine its something he feels all that strongly about, but I love snuggling him up in one.

Kiss

Andrew has become a little kissyface lately - here's a shot of him kissing a baby in one of his books. Its hard to catch him in the act, so sorry its such a bad photo. He does it with no prompting whatsoever. One of the best parts of parenting so far has been when he spontaneously gives me big sloppy open mouth baby kisses. I'm soaking it in while it lasts.

Walker Fun

Taking a walkabout in our bedroom.

Here's the Deal

Andrew explains life outside the womb to Erling.

Fun Little Chair

Clamps to the table, folds up small for travel. Love it!

Zoom Zoom

Little did we know that Andrew's first toy racecar would play rap. Oy vey...

Thanks, Nana & Pop Pop

...for the Halloween gift!

Pumpkin Patch, Take 2

Because there can never be enough cute pumpkin pictures.

Pumpkin Patch

Here's our little guy enjoying a fun outing to a local farm, we even took a hayride!

In other big news, he took 2 steps on his own yesterday! From the chair to the couch. I don't think he even realized he did it, nor have I seen a repeat performance.

Word #11

...is Dance!

Cuddling

In bed on a rainy morning with the spud.

Superhero Outfit

Sporting both the skull & crossbones as well as the yellow duckie cape. Time to save the world!

Babywearing

This is one of the last pics you'll see with Andrew in the front carrier, as he's getting too heavy to comfortably wear this way. He's now just shy of 20 lbs at 10 months. Luckily our superawesomefantastic carrier converts into a baby backpack for chunkier monkeys.

Secret's Out

My son wears girly-patterned cloth diapers. They are borrowed, I'm not picky, and I doubt he knows the difference :)

O's!

Cheerios, his favorite! And now his favorite new word. Here he is asking for them after he wakes up.

New Trick

Day One

Just for kicks I thought I'd post a video we took when Andrew was only a couple of hours old.

New Duds

In his new big boy booster seat, wearing his new corduroys, and new doggie shoes.

Giggle Monster

Here's the audio to all the smiles you've seen in the pictures :)

10 monthiversary!

So what is my little redhead up to these days? He knows what a vegetable looks like and promptly tosses it off the high chair tray. He brings me his favorite books to read, over and over and over again. He says about 10 words, the most popular being "dada". He whispers sweet nothings into my ear and blows kisses. He laughs heartily at just about everything. Its a great age to be!

Sick Baby, Part 2

Luckily this hasn't turned into anything more than a head cold. Here's sad little puffy-eyed, snotty nosed Andrew. All he wants are cuddles.

Sick Baby

No photos today, friends. We've got us a sick baby. His first cold. Actually he's eating and playing normally - just has a gunky nose. And did NOT sleep well last night. Nor did Mama for that matter....

Bookworm

Andrew likes reading as much as he likes his toys. Lately he's been bringing us the books he wants read to him. This is his new favorite - he laughs out loud and we read it over and over again.

Comments!

Hello loyal viewers - I've decided to put all Andrew-related-goodness on this blog instead of Facebook. It would be wonderful to know who is reading (or that anyone is reading). So if you wouldn't mind, occasionally, leave a comment! To those who are already doing so, many thanks.
