First and Last days
Cal had his last day of preschool last week. He had a great year at Triangle and LOVED going to "school."
I took a picture on the last day, just like I did on the first:
I can not believe how much taller he has gotten... this makes me want to bawl. Love my big boy!

Moving on out!
Look at what Mr. Anderson did this morning...
please ignore my squeal... I was excited.
When I picked him up from the gym nursery this morning, the girl asked if he was walking full time now. She said he had taken several steps, several different times.
So when we got home, I shot this video...my mother in law really wanted a video like the one we did for Cal when he was learning to walk. I thought I might catch him taking 2-3 steps...he did really well! He made it all the way from the table to the stove. I am going to try to get him again later, but have the camera set up to see more than just a few steps.
Fun fun fun!

1 year stats
This morning I took Andy in for his ONE YEAR check up! Sheesh... when will I get used to him being ONE?
He did really well, but boy oh boy, was he BUSY! Have I mentioned that this kid is a mover?? Dear gracious!
We started out in the waiting room...Andy crawled right over to the kid table and discovered this adorable kid smiling back at him...
That little munchkin stuck his tongue out at Andy...
Andy found that to be hilarious.
And I am NOT saying anything, but Mr. Andy took a few steps on his own in the waiting room. He was holding on to a chair and let go and took two steps towards another chair. He did this little jig about 5 different times during our visit. Maybe we will have a walker on our hands soon???
After the waiting room, we were weighed and measured (stats below), and then moved into the next room to wait for the doctor to come. I guess she was a little behind today, so we had to wait quite a while in this room. This is not easy with an active kiddo! He was going WILD!
He pulled up on the door and started banging his hands as hard as he could...
Then he found a chair he thought looked like fun...
Then he found the cabinet under the examination table. His fingers only got pinched in there about 72 times. He thought this toy was the best in the whole room so he played with it for a while.
The last time he pinched his fingers, he got pretty mad, so I picked him up and sang him his favorite song (apple bottom jeans, boots with the fuuuuuur, the whole club was looking at herrrrrr.....), and he started clapping...
The whole appointment went well, but Andy was none too thrilled with the man who pricked his finger for some blood nor the woman who came in to give him shots. He was so sad! His little lip came up and stayed out for a while... he couldn't believe those mean people would hurt him!
He survived the check up and the doctor said everything is looking great! Just what I want to hear!
here are his stats this visit:
weight: 24 pounds, 0 ounces ----> 50th-75th percentile
length: 30.5 inches ------> 75th percentile
head circumference: 48 cm ------> 90th percentile (my boys and their large noggins!)
SO thankful to have a happy, healthy, BUSY boy!!!

Party (weekend) Time!
Saturday morning, we had Andy's party at the pool. It was a little chilly at first, but it warmed up quickly and ended up being perfect!
Here was the invitation for the party:
We gave all of the kids HUGE bouncy balls with their names written on them and they were a huge hit. Andy LOVES those balls and it turns out, the other kiddos do too! Here are some pictures from the day:
I got there early with my parents to set up, and Eddie brought the boys with my mother and sister-in-law. When they walked in, Andy's eyes were watering NON-stop. I guess he got some sunscreen in his eyes and they turned bright red and were like faucets, bless his heart. Everyone thought he was sick since his eyes looked so terrible. He still managed to have fun!
That night, we had my parents over to have dinner with us and Eddie's mom and sister. We grilled out and ate in my dining room (something we never do... in fact, it was out first time sitting in those chairs!). I love when we are all together...
Andy opened presents and was super happy after a great nap, a HUGE dirty diaper (the grandmas had to double team clean him up!) and a nice bath. His eyes were clear and he had a great time.
Sunday, Eddie hit the golf course, so we went back to the pool. I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there this summer! Andy was much happier today, with screen-free eyes, so I had to take a few more of him...
That night, after dinner, I handed him a cupcake because I really wanted him to smash one... he ate more of this one than the one earlier at the pool, but he ended up feeding quite a bit of it to Hankers.
It was a fun weekend and now I am worn out! Heading to bed right now!!!
