Play Date with Lily Catherine

We had Lily Catherine over to our house last week to play with Andrew. She has been doing really well with her new baby sister Charlotte at home, but we thought it might be good to have a special afternoon out for a "big kids" play date. We spent the afternoon "cooking", dancing, and reading lots of books--it was a very busy afternoon!

Two little master chefs...

They both love to dance!

Reading in Andrew's new chair. He LOVES to sit here and look at books.

Snuggles...

So sweet...

Video of Andrew's Little Steps

Here is a quick video of Andrew taking a few steps today. He was trying to get his "Yo Gabba Gabba" video--the only thing he will ever watch on tv... For those of you who have seen how excited he gets for the "Dance" episode, you can probably guess how motivated he was to walk!

Andrew's 1st Steps!

Last night, Andrew took his first steps! He sort of stepped around in a little circle, and then sat down. We cheered and clapped for him, but he didn't seem to really know what we were so happy about. It was too cute! We're in trouble now though, and I have a feeling we'll need roller skates to keep up with him! Hopefully we can get some of his steps on video to post within the next couple days...

A New Cousin for Andrew!

On Friday, Randy and Cate's newest arrival joined our family! Charlotte Elizabeth was born at 3:28 am on August 7th. She is absolutely adorable and looks just like her Daddy did as a baby... We brought Andrew up to the hospital to meet his new cousin, and he wasn't too sure what to think. We did manage to get a couple pictures of all the cousins together though--probably the first of many that we will take.

They both studied Charlotte at first...

Andrew seemed amused to watch Lily Catherine with her little sister...

This picture looks like they are planning something... Not too sure what...

Aunt Alicia with Charlotte... She is so precious!

Sweet sister shot...

Reading Time

Andrew loves to read...  Here are a couple pictures from him reading in his room the other day. He looks so big sitting in that chair!

Playing with Lexi

On Sunday Andrew started to play ball with Lexi.  It was absolutely adorable, and he thought it was hilarious.  We finally got his laugh on video too, which we think is just the best sound ever.  

Mirror Play

On Saturday, we went over to see Aunt Lindsay's new condo.  Andrew enjoyed playing in mirrors in her guest room.  We're not sure he knew the baby in the mirror was actually him...
