A fall favorite with the Hogans- complete with hayride and farm animals! Andrew liked the pumpkins but was skeptical about the animals. In fact he cried because the pigs smelled so bad. Minus the foul smelling swine, it was a great day with dear friends! ❤️ ?
Day 2 in Cozumel:
Obligatory pics with the mouse himself:
Memorized by dinner cartoons and loving his ice cream:
Lots more fun!
Snuggles with mommy on her birthday. We disembarked on my birthday. No waking up at 5:45 and flying with a toddler is not my idea of a super fun bday. BUT I got spend time with some of my very favorite people and get kisses from my Andrews. Life is good.
On Wednesday Andy flew down and met us in Miami for w little family vacation. After more than 12 days on the road this month- we were all ready for some R & R. There we boarded the Disney Magic for a cruise to the Bahamas. Unfortunatly Hurricane Joaquin had other plans so our cruise turned out to be to Key West and Mexico. No big deal. We had each other, plenty of sunshine and a few fruity drinks so all was just right with the world!
Farewell Miami & hello Key West!
While on board Andrew LOVED the splash zone:
On Sunday we headed to the Magic Kingdom for a fun (and hot!) day of Disney.
Andrew’s favorites were the carousel and splash zone.
Watching and dancing in the parade.
And all this fun requires a nap at the Hall of Presidents. An Aunt Kelly tradition.
A truly fun and awesome day! ❤️
I had a business trip to Orlando which created an awesome opportunity for grandma, grandpa and Aunt Kelly to tag along and properly introduce Andrew to the wonderful world of Disney!
On the flight down. I was nervous about how Andrew would do given his new level of energy but he did awesome! It’s amazing what Cheerios and a few toys can do.
He had dinner at the Hoop De Doo Revue on Saturday. A Kleinfelter family tradition complete with BBQ and a dinner show. Andrew ate like a champ and was MESMERIZED.
September has been a crazy month for our family- as evidenced by the fact that this post is 10 days late. New jobs, business trips and overall hustle has been the new norm around these parts. But it hasn’t stopped our baby boy from growing and continuing to fill our days with tremendous love!
Andrew has 7 going on 8 teeth. He wears 12-18 month clothes and eats like a champ! We think he’s 22-25 lbs. And No more baby food. It’s table food and feeding himself for this guy. He’s crawling up a storm and pulls himself up on everything. He’s started to ‘couch surf’ so walking feels quite imminent.
This month he also moved to Infant B at school. He hangs with the big kids and his teachers say he loves to sit at the table and eat with his friends. Apparently he sits there and laughs the whole time because he thinks he’s just SO cool. And when he’s home he loves to scoot around, crawl every where and find every wheel- yes wheel-there is. Andrew is oddly drawn to all wheels. Wheels on luggage, toys, his scooter, stroller, bikes- ANYTHING! Perhaps we have an engineer in our future!
Out takes:
I’m not sure we could have packed more into two years if we tried! It’s been a crazy ride but I couldn’t think of a more wonderful person to hold hands through it all with! Happy anniversary my love and cheers to MANY MANY MANY more! ❤️
PS- We decided to spend our anniversary on business trips to Orlando and Chicago. Par for the Phillips course. But a proper date night celebration await us next week!
