Happy Halloween everyone from Andy the purple dragon

Andy's 16 month photo with he bear

My little man is growing up!

This past month he learned to walk up and down the stairs by holding onto the handrail (or my hand) instead of going on his knees. He says even more words ("juice" is a new frequent one), and he just (finally) managed to be able to tilt his sippy cup up and drink from it!

Andy sings "Twinkle Twinkle" (hums is probably more accurate) and "The wheels on the bus...". He loves to read, and be read to, and he can sit through about 30-minutes of a movie or TV show. He loves to put things into other things, and I often find plastic sandwich bags all over the house because of it.

He is wearing a size 6-6.5 shoe, and size 24-month clothes. and he finally keeps a hat on! He LOVES animals, and knows what a puppy, lion, tiger, and a fish say.

Andy plays so well with other kids too! He loves to play dress up, and he tackles Owen pretty good sometimes! And he tickles too - it is so cute! And it isn't just some nasty scratching like it was with Owen (thank goodness!).

But Andy is still Andy and he loves a good temper tantrum. And he has perfected his fake cry, but now when I call him on it he just s,miles and stops. He is such a riot!

"I love you!"

Grandma came over today, and she and I were saying “I love you” to Andy, and he said it back!!!! He says it “I la you.”, it means ‘I love you’! And then tonight I called her so Andy could talk to her on the phone, and he said it first, she repeated it, and he said it again. How sweet! Andy called his Grandma to say ‘I love you’ to her! What a good Grandson!
