Andyventures From California

Here are a few more pictures from California. Andrew and I were sick with strep throat all of last week, so we didn't do much but rest and stay inside. I started to feel better on Monday. So then we started to play again. This first picture is gross, but it amazes me the things our bodies do to fight off invaders.

Andy is getting better at sitting.

The pillow doesn't support him it just gives his head something soft to land on we he falls.

After being cooped up for a week. Andy and I went to stay with Grandma and Granddad at their cabin for the weekend. It was relaxing for us, but Grandma and Granddad worked hard.

I was really feeling better this past Tuesday, but we really didn't do anything until Thursday. We went to the Jelly Belly Belly Bean Factory in Fairfield with my friend Marcella and her daughters Courtney and Megan, Malissa and the kids were suppose to come too but Malissa was not feeling well.

So cool, in Mattox's sunglasses!

Saturday we went to the San Fransisco Zoo. Here is us at the Children's petting zoo.

Like Patrick, Andrew wants to be a cowboy.

Unfortunately, for the both of them we are city folk.

Andrew, enjoying another saddle.

Andrew, took two naps while we were at the zoo.



Andrew's first ride on a mary-go-round.

Granddad's Little Buddy.

This is the closest he will ever get to petting a lion.

Aunty Leta is so Fun!

Sitting with Grandma!

Us girls squeezing on to the lion's back. (It was a tight fit)

My Husband Said I Better Post or Else...

Patrick is now studying for the Step 1 of the Medical Boards. He decided it would be best if I and Andy weren't around. Last night he told me that I better post pictures of Andrew before he posts on how I am preventing him from being a good father because I am not keeping him up to date on what Andy is doing. So needless to say I am posting today...just for Patrick. If I can figure out how to get the videos to save right to my parents computer I will post those soon.

Andrew, can now sit by himself for a short time when put in the position. He can reach down and grab a toy and sit back up sometimes, but if I am not careful he ends up going down face first.

I am sure he will have this skill down soon.

Andrew had his first experience in the swimming pool yesterday. I thought he would cry, but he loved it. I guess we will be spending more time in the pool.

Andrew is now mobile...when he is in his walker. He can back up, go forward, turn and chase after toys. It is really fun watching him focus on something and go after it. He was chasing a ball this morning and when he got the ball to the side of him he would reach for it.

HE IS SO AMAZING. ;)~

Patrick, I will try and figure out how to get the videos to my Parents computer. I hope this is good enough for now. Love you and Miss You!!

Ahh...nap time!

Pat has finally finished his second year exams. He took his final test today, we ate pizza and ice cream with some of the other second year students (Spencer, David and Jana) and now Pat is resting and Andy is taking a long nap, so I decided to post some pictures. Andrew has been doing many firsts lately, so I thought I would share.

I hardly ever feed Andrew with a bottle, so when I had a little milk left from his cereal that need to be used and gave it to him in a bottle, I was surprised to see that he could feed him self without any help. (4/26/09)

On April 27th, 2009 he finally rolled from his back to his front with out a problem. He rolled several times that day, but I still failed to get a good picture.

This picture was just too cute to not post. We were recently given a highchair, Andy looks small in it, but he enjoys sitting with us at the table.

Now for Andy's latest trick. Why buy expensive toys when your son comes with toes. He love to eat those toes. (5/3/09)

Pat starts studying for the Boards tomorrow so I better go and enjoy him being home while I can..he and Andy just woke up.
