Daddy was cracking Dizzy up yesterday by crawling across the room & running into his toy, but when he got tired of doing it & laid down next to his audience Dizzy started pushing him up to get him to do it again. Now the whole routine is a game in & of itself. Good times. Andrew still isn't talking much, but definitely gets his point across & is doing a great job following simple commands, etc. He is actually eating about 12 oz a day by mouth consistently & is even trying new things like Cheerios. We are very excited about that. Weighs just about 24 lbs, which we are also stoked about. He's also doing a great job potty training, introduced it about 2 weeks ago & he is even starting to get our attention to let us know he needs to use it. Keeps his diaper dry overnight & at nap time, but we still have to physically help him to his little potty since he isn't walking & is a little too short : ) so sometimes we miss our opportunity if we're goofing off too much.
The weather has been beautiful this week. Still a little warm around 90, but just enough breeze to be able to go outside without being miserable. Andrew loves his little swing & it's always fun to make him giggle : ) Sorry its been so long since the last update, I was waiting for a local magazine, Moms Like Me, to come out for Sept because Andrew is in an article about CHD, but I haven't been able to get my hands on one yet, but I will post it as soon as I track one down.
Andrew & Daddy have a great time playing & working on standing up & walking. Andrew has taken up to 3 step on his own, but is still hesitant & usually sits right down if he thinks we are trying to get him to do it. He's almost there though. Throughout the day I have him walk around the house instead of carrying him & he's really just holding my finger for security. As soon as he decides he's ready he'll be off & running.
Always loves a good book. Though he doesn't like for us to read them to him, he has his own opinion about how books are best enjoyed : )
Still doing great with the potty training. I thought it was funny how he just made himself comfortable. He even threw my cell phone in his just-used potty yesterday. Luckily I got it out & dried the parts & got them in a bowl of rice (absorb any extra moisture - it works) quickly enough to save the phone. Mischief!
