My Little Man

Andy had his 18 month check up last week. He is pretty "average". His head is a bit big at 75% to hold that ever expanding little brain of his. His weight is 26 lbs at 50%, and his height is 49 inches at 50%. He looks a little short due to his stubby little legs from me, but his long torso from his daddy makes up for it. A basketball player he will not be. But he would make a great sprinter or gymnast! :)

He's INTO EVERYTHING. I took the kids to the clinic last week for fun and he was all over the stereo. Booger now knows how to change channels, adjust volume, and change a CD. Crazy.
How you like this station, Ma?
He's a mess. He loves anything artsy. Contrary to the photo's suggestion, he didn't actually eat the paint brush. I'm the mom that lets him eat cheerios whilst his hands are covered in (non-toxic) paint. I love how all the markers were stuck in the paint cup. I tell ya, I turn my back for one second....
Did I mention he got a little paint on his hands while he was eating?
The blue hair makes this shot even funnier in my opinion.
I am embracing the fact that I will have even more wrinkles and look much worse in five years - at which point, I will cherish this photo Debbie took of me and my little buddy at the park last night.
I invited Debbie out to the park super last minute to embrace some awesome light. We all jumped in the van and I realized I had left my camera at home. Glad she had hers!
I let my kids drive short trips within our section of the neighborhood. Illegal, yes. Am I concerned? No. I was probably doing much worse at their ages. Plus, it's literally just up a little hill. We usually just walk. It's a fun little treat.
Andy's ready for his license. I'd be fine with it.... as long as he only drives to the park and the mailbox like we practice. Maybe to Ben and Will's house. But not Molly's. He's not allowed to drive to a girl's house.... ever. ;)
