Happy 1st Birthday Andrew!

I can't believe that you are one year old today. My, how you have grown! Although you have changed A LOT, there are many things that are the same as when we brought you home from the hospital. You are very ticklish. You are ticklish everywhere! You've always been a good night sleeper. And, for the most part, you've always been a very happy baby. You laugh and screech a lot.

You love throwing balls. You are still cruising along the furniture but you've taken quite a few steps on your own. You stand by yourself sometimes waving your arms in the air.

You are very talkative; you babble about all sorts of things. You say dada, mama (sometimes), uh oh, and thank you. You've learned two signs, the sign for more and the sign for all done.

You love to eat. You eat most anything, but there are two things that you're not too crazy about: mashed potatoes and green beans. You've eaten more than your brother sometimes!


We've had such a wonderful first year with you, getting to know you and your personality. We love you very much and can't wait to see what year 2 will bring!
