But most importantly first.... ANDREW, YOU'RE ONE!!
You had such a fun party. We did the party the day before your birthday on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm. You had so many friends who came, I think about 14 other kids! Delilah let us borrow her balls and we made a ball pit for all our friends and you to play in.
To go back and update on what's been going on in our lives, in February your Grandy and PawPaw were in Fort Worth visiting while PawPaw worked in Dallas for a month. You loved spending time with them! You are so sweet with them, and you still love your Grandy's laugh that always makes you laugh along with her. She was so kind to come over and make dinner for all of us many evenings and we got to spend lots of quality time with them.
We've unfortunately had lots of sickness this winter, with 2 stomach bugs and many many colds. You've been a trooper through it all, but we're all ready for the sick bug to leave our house.
You've been eating really well lately, but you still like to throw a lot of your food all over the floor :) We're working on that. You had a major texture issue a few months ago, so we're happy that you can eat bigger foods now and don't want to gag immediately. Your favorite thing are pastas, even with vegetables. You love lasagna and anything with marinara sauce. Your other favorite thing is chicken nuggets. We're still struggling with most vegetables.
We also just got rid of all bottles and you're drinking whole milk from your sippy cup. At first this was a really sad transition for you, but you're doing much better now.
The weekend after your birthday party, I took a trip to San Francisco to visit Courtney, Robby & Virginia. I missed you so much! You and your dad went and bought a new bike trailer that you love! You are refusing to wear your helmet though, so we need to get used to that before we take the trailer out on the trail.
You are so close to walking, and we think anyway now you'll take off on us all by yourself. For now, you love to push all your riding toys around the house and the driveway.
Here are more fun pictures from your birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!! We love you more than you'll ever know.
So sad that we missed all of this - just remember we were driving to Colorado with a trailer on the back of the car in the snow that day!!!! Love seeing all of the birthday party pictures - how fun to celebrate with so many friends and family. I think my favorite birthday picture is the one where you are looking at a book with such a special expression of fascination and amazement - perhaps because you were trying to read it upside down!!! LOL Just don't ever lose that desire to explore and discover for yourself everything around you - you will always be rewarded with that same look of satisfaction and fulfillment with life. xoxo, Grandy
