Fishy Fishy

Nora is quite the little fish. She LOVES the pool! The first time we took her, the water was pretty chilly, that didn't phase her one bit. We've been probably a half dozen times since then, and each time is great!

Andrew is becoming quite the swimmer too. More on that later. :-)

Papa's boy.

Andrew loves my dad! We were at my parent's house a few weekends ago and Andrew had the greatest time working in the yard with my dad. So, being the camera happy mom, I snapped a few pictures.

When did this my little man get so tall, and 'boy' like? Where's my little baby?!

A boy and his dog.

Since we don't own a dog (yet), Andrew has 'adopted' my parents dog, Lucy, and my sister's dog, Toby.

Toby is so sweet to Andrew. He has to put up with a lot of Andrew's antics.

Rites of Parenthood

There are several things that all parents must experience. I, for the first time, experienced shoving my hand into the VCR (yes, we sill have a VCR/DVD combo... seemed like the smart thing to buy 7 years ago) to free a little toy.

My parents love to share the story of how their VCR had stopped working and they took it to get repaired. The repairman did it for free when he discovered several Little People (when they were still wooden and tiny) shoved deep into the device. Yes, I was the little person who shoved all the little people in it. I remember doing to too, I also remember putting a sandwich in one too.... ;-) I guess what goes around comes around!


P.S. Yes, that is a Little Miss/Mr.Men figure. We have a few of them floating around the house from when I was little!

Sibling Love.

I really love seeing Andrew get all lovey with Nora. I can tell they are going to be great buds as she grows up. 

P.S. I promise Andrew owns pants and wears them. Sadly, it's just easier to let him be in just undies when he's in the bathroom every 2.4 seconds. 

Here's what I saw a few Sundays ago. Seriously, how great is Nora's smile? She LOVES Andrew!

This was an instance that I knew I needed to get him out, but I had to run and get the camera to document. My sister lent me this great little pack-n-play bassinet - Andrew thought it would be a great idea to climb in there while Nora was napping!

Hugs.

Brushing her hair... something he does often!! (Nora's expression... 'just let me sleep!')
