Happy Halloween!

These were the best pictures I could get of Andrew in his costume. Just no way to get him to sit or stand still. He did love wearing his costume though. We had a hard time getting him to go to bed. He wanted to stay up with us and dance to the music. He knew it was a special night!

Pre Halloween Fun!!!

12 Month Old Trouble!

Andrew, is a very fun 12 month old! He is interested in EVERYTHING. Wants to touch EVERYTHING. And, wants to be a big kid yesterday. His new favorite activity is helping his dad play with tools. It is the cutest thing to watch. He has to be right next to daddy and wants to touch it all, and be a helper guy. He is such a BOY!

Andrew, had his 12 month check up--he is still in the 95% for height, and 12% for weight. Tall and skinny--and he eats like a horse. As Andrew was emptying ALL the doctors drawers, the doctor said that Andrew is more like a 18 month old. Lucky me :)

He loves climbing on anything he can find, big or small. We finally got the hot tub on the deck last week. As Erik was cleaning up yesterday, Andrew climbed the stairs of the hot tub and we realized Andrew is able to get on top of the hot tub. A problem we didn't see coming so soon. So, now we have to come up with something to fix that problem...which then lead us to realize he is going to be climbing the deck railing very soon. THAT SCARES ME!

The bathroom is his FAVORITE room in the house. We have to keep the door closed or Andrew will go swimming. He is not happy when we drag him away.

Loves to do anything we do...

Cute Boy!!!!

Zoo Fun!

Andrew is loving the zoo. I can't believe how fast he grows and changes. Just a few months ago he had a hard time seeing the animals. Now he can't get enough! And, he loves going on the train.

California Trip

I realized I hadn't put any California pictures on the blog, so better late than never!

We decided to drive with a camping stop in Elko. Andrew loved everything until it was time for bed. Let's just say we didn't sleep.

Hiking in the Ruby Mountains...It was beautiful.

After our stop in San Francisco and Berkeley, we went to Mendocino. We lucked out with weather. I don't think we've ever had blue sky everyday. We went to the Botanical Gardens with Grandma Marilyn and Great-Grandma Rosey.

Walking around the headlands (you can see Mendocino in the background).

Taking a bath in the sink. Andrew thought that was pretty cool.

Driving with Grandpa John...

Hiking in the redwoods.

Eli and Amy had a beautiful wedding among the redwoods. We were very lucky in that Andrew slept through the ceremony and woke up in time for the party!
