Grandparents all around!
Last weekend Andy and I traveled out to Rocky Gap State Park in Maryland to join in the surprise celebrate for Paul’s 60th. A rare yet fun filled treat to be able to hang out and play without the kiddos around. Happy 60th birthday to Paul and cheers to many many more!
Meanwhile, Andrew spent the weekend at house with his other grandparents. I’m sure he had no fun and got no love and attention. ?

11 Months!
We’re in the final count down to one year! Minutes ago he was a bitty baby and we were taking him home from the hospital. 11 months already!?!
Our little man continues to fill our days with immense love and joy. He’s developed this cheeky little grin that just melts your heart. He still has only 7 teeth but is doing so well feeding himself. He seems to love most foods; in fact he had spinach quiche for breakfast and vegetable dumplings for dinner. Quite the pallet for a little guy. However, we took him out for Indian food and can confirm he does NOT like anything close to ‘spicy’ food. His cries and desperate need for water can attest to that. And for dessert, he seems to love cookies, ice cream and all things sweet. Aunt Kelly would be proud.
Andrew is getting closer to walking but no steps yet. He stands on his on for a few seconds and is getting so much better at walking while holding your hands or pushing something. He’s taken a liking to the playground and slide but still LOVES, LOVES, LOVES wheels. Red solo cups and old boxes are close seconds. But one of his favorite things is when his daddy comes home at the end of the day. The little guy lights up and can’t crawl to the door fast enough. #Love.
Happy 11 months little man! We love you!

Dining Room Makeover
I’ve wanted to redo our dining and living room since we bought our house. It just wasn’t us and I wanted to make it feel more like our home and not the sellers. So here are the first pics of the new room. It’s taken a while since we’ve done everything ourselves but I’m really happy with how it’s turning out!

It’s still a work in progress but it’s coming along!

Boxes Rule!
Andrew has been OBSESSED with the box from Andy’s tractor. No need for expensive toys when your child’s favorite things are boxes, spatulas and solo cups.
Please note that the video you are about to view is only 30 seconds of a sequence that went on for 25 minutes. Seriously. [youtube]https://youtu.be/C9SIa4Z1jr0[/youtube]

Evenings Outside
Andrew and I have been spending a lot of time after school playing outside either at the park or at home. I think it’s finally hit me that it will be cold soon so I’m trying to squeeze in as much outdoor playtime as possible!
