Summer 2010

Here is Andrew looking at the chickens at Uncle Mike's farm. He liked watching them eat watermelon rinds.
Playing in the new sandbox he got for his birthday. We are in the sandbox any chance we get!

I love watching him pick up a book and read to himself!
My little helper!

Christmas 2009

Enjoying the new sled (and snowsuit) inside and outside from Grandma and Grandpa Fasching.











Here we are enjoying the new John Deere dump truck. He has already realized that it is fun to stand in it!








Andrew got a Woody doll from Mary and Phil at daycare. Unfortunately, it didn't have "Andy" etched into the boot like the movie. Oh, well. He loves pulling the string in the back and listening to him!








Opening presents can be hard work. He really got into the opening up thing. He wanted to open up all of the presents! Once one was open, he was ready for the next!














Here he is helping himself to a pile of veggies. If you look closely, you can see half eaten carrots. He loves his veggies!


















Here is a picture with Auntie Sara and one with all three of us.

Fall 2009

Here are a few pictures from the last few months!

More Summer Fun

Here we are climbing in and out of the stuffed animal basket. He was waving at all the cars going by.






Andrew loves playing with these trucks. They use to be Kevin's when he was younger. When we are outside, Andrew can point to them and wants to play!






Riding on the dino that Uncle Donny made. It is the perfect height to be able to look at, oh yeah, the cars outside!
















Swimming with mom at Auntie Sara's pool. If you look closely, you can see dad playing with cousin Ryan.











Here we are at a petting zoo near Uncle Donny and Auntie Susan's house. Andrew was really curious about this goat. In the second picture, the goat is more interested in Andrew!

Summer 2009

Well, summer is half over and Andrew continues to get bigger all the time. We have been busy playing, playing and more playing.


Here is a picture of Andrew playing in a water table he got for his birthday. He loves splashing around and Murphy really wants a drink! I am sure there are a few tennis balls in there for him!






Having fun riding on a motorized 4-wheeler. He pushes the button and moves in short spurts. Soon he will be tearing up the backyard!











It's so much fun to crawl into little places!














Andrew has learned to throw the ball to Murphy. Andrew gets a kick out of it when Murphy gets close enough with the tail to tickle his face!














Kevin went into the fridge and Andrew followed. We watched him to see what he would do. Apparently, I don't feed him enough! A little hungry for some parmesan cheese and watermelon. He actually reached up and grabbed his mild and some cantelope!



Caught red handed!









Andrew loves looking at books. He will get quiet all of a sudden, and when I check on him, this is what he is doing!



What a cutie!!

We made it to 1!

We finally made it to a year old! I finally got around to updating the blog. School is out and time for new adventures!

Here are just a few pictures of the party.

He wasn't too sure of the cake, so I had to push his hand into it. Once he realized how fun it was, cake was all over!




Here he is eating a cupcake with Grandpa and Nana Oldenburg. What a great time!





Over Memorial Day, we took a boat ride on Grandma and Grandpa's pontoon. He didn't seem to mind the life jacket, yet!








We took a family tour of New Flyer, where Grandpa Baron and Uncle Donny work. He was learning how to drive a city bus.
