All I Want for Christmas...

Andrew was a very good boy this year, so Santa had his work cut out for him. And though Andrew is perfectly content playing with his tooth brush, the window blinds or an empty box, he's having no problem warming up to his new toys.

(And we've learned that holding air in your mouth makes teething more fun.)

Christmas Wishes

We took Andrew to have his Christmas pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. He tried to rearrange the back drop, toss the props, and when it comes to standing on the black "x" - dream on!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Andrew made his annual visit to the North Pole last week. He's been a very good boy this year and can't wait to see what Santa brings him.

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

At Andrew's 18-month checkup, he weighed 30 pounds and 8 ounces. He measured 33 and 1/2 inches. Right now, he has SIX teeth coming in and has somehow managed not to let it bother him. He sleeps an average of 10 hours each night and walks several miles a day, full steam ahead. He's beginning to notice the TV. He likes to watch Thomas and Friends and can't be pulled away when they're singing the theme song. He still loves music and lights, rolling his cars around, and climbing. (He's made several trips onto the dining room table.) He loves spaghetti and hates green beans.


These are a couple of pictures we took of Andrew on the rocking horse his Grandpa and Grandpa Hoffart built for him - with a little help from Great-Grandpa Joe in Colorado.
