Andrew's 1 year portrait

Look at me!

Just look at Andrew, such a big boy now - walking on his on, new shoes and walker toy - what more could a 1 year old want? Yesterday he went to the pediatrician for his year checkup. He weighs 21.5 lbs. and is 29.5 inches tall; the shots were a heartbreaker - a total of 5, including the seasonal flu and H1N1. Jay went too and was a great supervisory big brother; he also received the H1N1 so the boys are ready to defend the nasty virus - hooray! Have a good weekend, we are finally getting spoiled here in Atlanta with beautiful fall weather. xo mgm

Our little celebration!

Ahhh.. Andrew now & then...

All smiles in his new car seat facing forward...

Trouble, trouble in the toy cabinet....

Reading with Jay and Dad - one of Andrew's favorite activities is to look at books on his own and listen to you read to him.

Our little talking Andrew... sort of

It's funny what kids pick up as they grow. Most of you know our energetic watchdog, Maggie, who barks at most anything, particularly other dogs, squirrels, kids, anything that moves really. As a result I am constantly saying, "Maggie quiet" and so Andrew's first words include "quiet" along with "ma ma" and "da da." The video captures him in action (somewhat) with some prompting from Mom.

Andrew is walking...

Andrew started walking a couple of weeks ago, he is getting more and more steady on his feet. It's so hard to believe that he is officially a toddler now. More special Andrew posts to come this week all in honor of his 1st birthday on Wednesday.
