Andrew you have grown in so many different ways but in others you are still my little baby.
You are a very sweet baby; you love to be snuggled and give hugs and kisses, especially to mommy and daddy.
You are very fond of reading. You have great memory too you can remember a story fairly easy. You have a couple of favorite books that we read each night: Bulldozer, Fire Engine and an animal book.
Ever since you watch the letter factory you can make the sound of the letter A and you have decided to call the animal book your A-A-Animal book. You know every picture in it, every page, you know when those warms are supposed to appear and you refuse to touch the page where they are.
You still love to play with trains, especially the ones that Josh is playing with, so you both end up in fights a lot. Even so, I know you love your brother. I have seen you try to imitate everything he does. You also love to wrestle with him and unfortunately for him you can pin him down already.
You love Julia as well. You care for her and watch over her and make sure you are there when she is sad. I have seen you run to her and give her hugs whenever she has gotten hurt.
You can jump in the tramp and do summersaults like Julia; you can also climb anything you want (you got very strong arms). You can kick the ball, play catch with daddy and throw a basketball. You get really excited whenever you make a basket.
You been sleeping in a big boy’s bed for a couple of months now and you seem to like it. You love your routine which is reading a book and singing 3 songs with mommy. You always choose the same 3 songs: chu-chu the big train, twinkle, twinkle little star and 2 little ducks.
It’s funny, but on nights that daddy has tried to put you on bed you just keep crying and you can’t sleep until mommy comes and says good night to you. I am glad that you need me that much because it truly makes me feel special.
You wake up early by yourself every day and then you knock on your door so that we can let you out (you’ve almost figure it out how to open doors though). The first thing you say to us is: “eat, eat” and you walk straight to your high chair to get ready for breakfast. You are a very picky eater. Most mornings all you want to eat is a piece of toast like daddy with some peanut butter on it.
You can’t talk in sentences yet but I don’t think it is because you can’t. I believe you get too excited about things and how to describe them that you forget your words.
You can count to five. I have to thank Julia and Josh for that. I find myself counting to five all the time before I put those two in time out that you have picked it up.
You can almost get dress by yourself but you can certainly put your shoes on all by yourself.
Whenever we need to go out all we need to tell you is let’s go and you run to your room get your shoes on and say “me car, go” and if by any chance we are not ready to go by the time you are, you grab our hand and say “come on, come on” to hurry us up.
You are a character Andrew, with that short speech of yours you make yourself understood. I love to be so in sync with you that I can tell what you need all the time.
