Birthday Party

Andrew turns 2 on Monday, February 1st! We celebrated his birthday by having a few friends and family over for a little puppy party! The invitations that we sent out had a dog on them...so we decided to go with it for the theme. We had doggie bone cookies, puppy chow and dog plates! Of course doggie party favors too!

Matt, Amelia and Andrew

Mmmm....good.

Presents

At the party we only opened presents from those who attended....it took long enough to do that! The bubble machine was a hit and I highly recommend it-but you will need to stock up on bubbles!

Bubbles!

He was screaming!

New rocking chair!

Hands on Museum in Ann Arbor

We had the day off for report writing...I finished mine so Andrew and I could spend the morning at the Hands on Museum in Ann Arbor. We went with Mary & Matt and we had a great time! There were so many things to do...Andrew loved it all and we can't wait to go back!

Fishing

Fixing the sink.

It was really hard to get him out of the ambulance!

Giant bubble!

Huge water table with sharks!

Matt & Andrew at the water table.

Polishing the Petoskey stone.

Overdue Haircut

Andrew was well overdue for a haircut. This was his third cut. The first one went great, second not so good and this one was awesome. We went to Brian's barbershop and he sat for the entire time in the booster. They don't really use the buzzer (as we call it)....all scissors. So it took a while. After momma and daddy got sprayed with the water bottle a few times, there were some smiles. He also thought the little razor at the end tickled, so he laughed at that. I wish I would have taken a few more shots...but I was in charge of keeping him happy and on the seat!

This is the look I got when he first got into the chair...he wasn't so sure!

Daddy's Birthday

Today was Brian's birthday.....so time to get the Birthday glasses out! While we were eating dinner, I quickly popped a funfetti cake into the oven. Brian finished up Andrew's bath while I slapped some frosting on and then we ate cake! Probably not the best thing to do right before bed....but it was a Monday night! Andrew LOVED celebrating Brian's birthday! He thought blowing the candle out was the best thing ever! It was the candle we had from Andrew's birthday last year. I told Brian it was for the #1 daddy! We had to light it and re-light it quite a few times so Andrew could blow it out! Happy Birthday daddy, you're the best!

Birthday glasses

Silly boy!

He was a little concerned with the candle at first.

Who needs plates?

He kept saying, "Mmmm, good!"

Get Me Daddy!

Andrew loves to get daddy's hat and say "get me daddy!" He does circles around the dining room table! I think it's funny how he wears it and runs like crazy. He even tries to get Wrigley to chase him!

Finger Paints!

We finally tried the finger paint that Santa brought! It was a lot of fun!

Look at my hands daddy!

Sledding at Grandma's

We had a lot of snow while we were home for the holidays! But it was really, really cold! So I think it took longer to get all of the gear on, than it did to sled!

"Too windy momma!"

Christmas at Grandma Ruth's

We went to my grandma's the day after Christmas. We didn't take a lot of photos. But we had a great time with family!

Andrew likes to carry around "shopping bags."

Christmas Day

It took us a while to open presents....I think 2 year olds only need a few things. Andrew would open one present and then it took him forever to move on to another present because he was so excited!

New bike from Auntie Erin!

It has a bell!

A fropper (bike) from grandma.

Binoculars

Andrew loves Mattie kitty.

What could this be?

Basketball!

Andrew loves shooting hoops!

He likes to yell, "Two points!"
