Melt down

Well Sunday was just too long today. It all started out as an okay day until Andrew cut his nap to only an hour long instead of his usual two to three hour nap. So we figured that we will make it on time to Sacrament. We went to church and Andrew started to show off his voice. We survived Sacrament on another okay note. Last week, I took him into the Nursery room because I can't go to class with him and I don't want to sit in the hall with him. That was an okay adventure until he got beat up on by the bigger kids. Anyways, today I figured I would do the same thing and everything would be just fine. About being in the room for five minutes someone touches him wrong and he melts down. I took him out of the room and out side to calm him down. That worked and then brought him back into the room. He played some more away from everyone else, then again another kid knocked over some blocks into him and that was it. Mind you Andrew is teething major right now. The two molars are working their way all the way through now. So for the next hour and half or so left of church he just melted down. He just screamed and yelled the whole time. I walked the halls and around the outside the whole time. Nothing was making him stop. If I had my license and keys to the car, I would of went home to put Andrew down for another nap but I didn't have either of those. By the time David got out of class, I was on the verge of tears. When we returned home, I put Andrew down for another nap that lasted an hour too because the phone rang in another room. After that nap Andrew was a little better but I really hate Sundays right now. The time for Church doesn't work well with Andrew maybe things will get better as the year goes on.

The Day has come

Well Andrew got his first hair cut on Sunday before we went to church. It took two attempts to cut his hair to get the finish product. He went from looking like a baby to looking so much older.

Not Again. They just keep Coming..

Well, on Thursday, Andrew woke up with a fever. I had a nurses visit that day to get his follow up flu shot. So I gave the office a call to see if I should drive the 20 minutes to the office to get the shot. They told me to wait till tomorrow to see if the fever goes down to get the shot. So later on in the day, as the Ibuprofen was wearing off (seeing if his fever would come back) I noticed this white spot in his gums. Andrew is getting a molar. Then he moved his hand to the side and I looked again at his gums. Not only is he getting one tooth, he is getting two at he same time. One molar on each side of his mouth. Andrew just can't win when it comes to teeth. He has always gotten two at one time. I guess it is good that he is getting it over with by getting two molars at the same time.
Now to those pictures that everyone so nicely asked for.

Here is Andrew pushing the toys around the yard. This is his shovel that he carries around everywhere in the backyard. Now what you have to know is, these pictures were taken after I gave him Tylenol and let him go outside. These just don't look like they were taken 5 minutes apart from one another.

Now a couple cute videos. Hope that you all enjoy these.

Lazy Days!!!

Well, I really don't have that much to report on. Our days at home are slow and kinda uneventful. But the one thing that I'm enjoying is the fact that Andrew wants to go out side to play. Since he is walking, David and I have no problem letting him go play. This last week David has taken Andrew up to the little park in our development while I've been at work. When I'm home with Andrew I take him into the backyard to play. He just laughs, runs (as best as he can run), and pushes all the toys around. He also loves to hold this shovel and try to dig in the mud. Since we have had rain recently, Andrew is getting very muddy after he is done playing. The really cute thing is that he lets us know when he wants to go outside. If the blinds are closed on the sliding glass door he plays with them until we open them and stands at the door until we open the door. Another sign that he gives is walking in circles while looking at the door frustrated until you open the door to let him out. I guess it is good that he wants to go out and play instead of watching movies all day.

Now onto this week...........Well, David started the Spring Semester of school yesterday. He has his hands full with that. He is taking a Chemistry class that is four days a week and a Trig (math) class that is twice a week. But he also is taking a photo class that meets online. So our little break from school is over. Man does six weeks go by so fast. So since David is back in school, I'm back to my closing schedule at work. (It was nice to be able to open every now and then.) Besides that David and I are just going with flow.

Andrew on the other hand is getting even more cute every day. His facial expressions are to die for. Today while I was feeding him dinner, he was trying to imitate one of his movies and say what they said as they were saying it. (He has seen this movie almost every day for the past maybe three months.) It was soo cute with his tiny voice. He gets closer everyday with putting sounds together to form a word. He has already said 'Mom' and 'Dad'(or dadadadadad). David and I swear that we heard him say 'David'. We have heard him say 'hi' and 'hello', but can't seem to get him to say it on demand. One day soon he will be telling us what he wants instead of yelling at us because we don't know what he wants. But we can figure it out quick though. Usually if he is yelling at us he is ready for his nap or wants something to eat. Besides all this, we usually have laid back days with nothing too exciting going on. We will just have to see as Andrews gets older.
