Andrew's Weeks 39 & 40

Andrew is less than 12 weeks away from his first birthday. He is one busy boy.

My failed attempts to pose Andy for a photo matching that of Matt when he wore the same Midnight Ride shirt

Getting acquainted with the calf at a new to us ice cream stand

More backyard sandbox time

Eating finger foods

Making goofy faces

Making sure he's the center of attention

Fighting with the cat over the changing pad

Playing at the library

Still more backyard sandbox time

Crawling around the front yard with big brother

Riding in the grocery store cart together

Digging in the flower pot

Watching the laundry spin around

Using the Batmobile as a walker (and giggling when he bumped into things - someone has been watching his big brother and his love of crashing a lot)

A Busy End of April Weekend

I've been busy catching up on some business stuff for my moms' club, so I'll get posting a review of our past month soon. In the meantime, I'll post about last weekend, which was a busy one for us.

On Friday the boys and I went to an animal farm sanctuary with some friends.

Andy was very intrigued by the donkeys!

Looks like I made a few new friends, too (photo courtesy of my friend, Melissa)

Matt found this scary, not surprisingly.

"Just what do you think you are doing, Dave?"
