Andrew the Explorer

Hello, strangers! One day, I hope to post the highlights of our summer. Of course, now that I've put that out there, I'll probably never do it. So, let me just clarify that I will NOT, under any circumstances, ever ever post any pictures of our summertime adventures.

Andrew is a very active boy these days. He is into EVERYTHING. He crawls, climbs, pulls up, cruises, empties, fills up and tears up. He terrorizes his sister, reaches what we thought was unreachable and eats any food he can get his hands on. Thought you might enjoy a few pictures of sweet Andrew being, well, a boy.

He loves taking books off the shelf. He has become particularly fond of ripping pages out of my Emeril cookbook. I look the other way on that one ... I don't know what half the ingredients are anyway!

Cozy Coupe accident! What do we do here? Help him, or let him figure it out?

Took a few minutes, but he figured it out!

Yet another Cozy Coupe incident.

Yes, he has figured out how to climb stairs. Don't worry, Daddy is close behind.

To quote his favorite expression: "Uh-oh!"

Why crawl around a chair when you can crawl underneath it?

Lesson not learned!

We try all sorts of things in the spinning raceway. I guess he decided to see if he could make himself spin!

Crawling through the table. Again, why bother going around?

Favorite game in the kitchen - emptying ALL of the dish towels on the floor.

Caught red handed! One day last week he was playing with cereal boxes in the pantry. He then somehow managed to open the pop-tart box and help himself to one. He ate the entire thing, whole. He must've worked so hard to get it, I just didn't have the heart to take it away. Needless to say, he didn't have much dinner that night!

Evidence at the scene of the crime.

It's usually not a good thing when I hear Samantha laugh and then yell "Hey Mommy! Come look at Andrew!"

This happened just this morning. I knew it was coming, but I was hoping I had a little while longer til he could figure it out.

Victory! (Yes, the piano has now found a new home.)

I can't wait to get my hands on him. Your life has taken on a whole new outlook - looking out for the boy. Love you.
