Oh Boy Oh Boy

To all my friends who have three year old boys or older and listened to be tell them how "active" Katie was and how she got into "everything"...

Thank you for listening to me. I now know that I was wrong. So wrong.

Katie was active and a curious toddler. But, oh my god! The things Andrew thinks to do, Katie never in a million years would have. You may assume that he is doing these "things" because he is watching his older sister. Nope. Not the case. He thinks of everything ALL on his own. Here are a few examples:

Climbing INTO the entertainment center

Climbing ON TO the train table

Eating leaves from the ficus tree

Pushing stools over to the counter and trying to reach things

Throwing toys through the gate and down the stairs to see if they reach the floor

Climbing into the tub, head first.

Putting his face in Tucker's raised water dish and DRINKING the water

Jumping off toys over and over until he masters it without falling down!

Climbing into Tucker's raised water dish (knees in one bowl, face in the other)

And, his latest...Getting into the bread drawer and biting and tearing THROUGH the plastic english muffin and bread bags to bite into the food.

And, he is only 14 months old!

Another step away from Babyhood

Today Andrew had his first haircut. He was 14 months yesterday. His blond wisps were really growing over his ears so it was time. Of course Katie wanted to get in on the picture taking as well so here are her before and after pictures as well.

Pretty Butterfly

Katie and I are working on creating a dress up bin. My gender neutral girl is suddenly turning into a girlie girl. She announced last week that pink is her favorite color. It used to be green, then orange, then white.

Andrew likes to do anything and everything Katie does. Here, he is holding the wings behind his shoulders.

Walking her brother?

Ahhh Katie. Picture says it all. She decided to "walk" her brother. Andrew, of course, thought it was great. Anything Katie does is golden to him. I couldnt resist taking a picture to document the moment.

Taco Night

Who knew... Andrew loves tacos. Well the shell, black beans and beef. Whenever he eats something he likes he makes this little moaning sound. It is funny! The taco definitely warranted a moan!!!!

Outside

Sunday was absolutely gorgeous. It was 60 degrees. We played outside for a good two hours or more with the kids on the swingset, walking and riding bikes. Here is Andrew on his first push bike.

Dance it Out

The kids both love the Jungle Book. It has great music and there aren't many "scary" parts, if any, that Katie wants me to fast forward. Enchanted, a movie I actually enjoy to watch with her (Patrick Dempsey), on the other hands, is TOO scary. For those of you who have seen it, the Susan Sarandon character is kind of moody.

Katie calls it Jungle Movie because, well, it is a movie not a book. I see the logic.

Here are the kids dancing to Bear Necessities. Any time music plays, Andrew dances. Even if it is a commercial.

Don't give Andrew the keys!

Why is it that children learn to go backwards before they go forward?
