Drill

Andrew was helping Brian put a safety latch on one of the cabinets and he just had to use the drill. He has a toy stuffed drill that vibrates when you pull the cord....but he uses his muscles to squeeze daddy's drill and he loves it! Here he is fixing his toy in the basement and grunting to squeeze the trigger. These were taken on my phone, so a little blurry.

Beach Baby

We love the beach....

Perfect day!

Park

We went to the park but it was a little chilly and everything was pretty wet this morning. So good thing we had our gardening tools. These rocks provided endless entertainment!

Wrigley came along and held guard.

Silly Hat

So Andrew has found my sisters American Girl doll and he likes to take this little hat and wear it all around. The funny thing is that it is so small and he tries really hard to balance it on his head! He had us all laughing so hard and he was such a little ham! He looks like a mess in these pics and in one of them you can see the tooth coming in on the bottom. Now you see all of the drool?

Big tooth coming in!

Quesadillas and Guacamole

Looks terrible, but there are some beans mixed in that mess too!

Baseball

Not sure we should be playing this in the living room...but so far it's ok.

Making Pancakes

Andrew loves to sit on the counter and 'help.' He says help and begs to get up and help us in the kitchen. So here he is making pancakes.

18 month Check Up

I took these pics with my phone and I thought they were so funny. We went for Andrew's 18 month well visit and I always have to strip him down so he can be weighed and measured. Well while waiting he doesn't want to sit on my lap that long (imagine that) so I put his shoes on and well here you go. Silly. He has come a long way since 4 lb. 3 oz. and the doc thinks he will be tall and skinny. Oh and he has a big head.

Baby Amiah

My Aunt Shelley and cousin Sarah visited from Seattle and we met baby Amiah for the first time. Soo cute!

Andrew going in for a smooch!

Hugging and kissing Amiah.

Sunset Beach

One of our many walks to the beach. This is one for the sunset. We played in the sand by the harbor and watched the boats going in and out. Andrew loved writing in the sand with a stick. He also likes throwing rocks and putting a few (many) in his pockets!

Watching the boats go out for the sunset.

Brian skipping rocks....and an awesome sunset.

18 months = 1 1/2 years old

Andrew is 18 months today...1 1/2 years old. I guess now he is officially a toddler! We went out to dinner, walked around downtown Royal Oak and then had ice cream! He just wanted my cone. Check out the before and after photos!
