Better late than never...Andrew is 18 MONTHS!!

For his 1/2 birthday I made him a dog pillow. It was my first project on the sewing machine and he loves it. He loves dogs...it was his first word...but now doesn't say it.

Famous words: Ut-Oh, Bye-bye, An-drew, Me, mine,

Unique to Andrew: *(Rubs the face of who ever is holding him while he drinks his
milk(or finds someones to rub)
*Obsessed with washing hands and putting lotion on face
*Rubs the top of Grandpa's and Dad's head/hair or lack of it.
*Jumps from a box to the floor (and jumps in place)--very early to
do this.
*Pats the spot next to him where he wants you to sit.
*Likes things in order and in their right place--if a cherrio falls
out of his bowl he immediately puts it back into the bowl. Or all
farm animals have to be together compared to the Noah's Arch
animals.
*Say "beep" and pushes a mole on your body (loves the one on my
(neck).
*Doesn't sit still, even at church (goes to the nursery). Doesn't
have much interest in the T.V. but loves the remote.
*Hasn't used a pacifier since month 3 (?)
*Takes your finger and takes you to what he want you to see or do.
*
Favorite play items this month:
*T.V. Remote (we are on the 2nd one) and our cell phones
(both items are taboo).
*Noah's Arch and all the animals
*The play castel with King and Queen
*A baby doll or any beanny baby. And his Dog Max
*The farm tractor and animals
*Book and Tape (CD)--The Lady with the Alligator Purse, Miss Mary
Mak and Skip to my Lue.
*Boxes to jump off.
*Anything to climb on.
*My Leap Pad, Leap Frog book (Many books and pictures make sounds
when you touch.

Bed Time..........9:30 or 10:00pm(yikes)until 7 am when he comes and drinks his milk
and cuddles in bed with Mommy (Daddy too on Thur. and Sat.)

*Rough month with teething, so up in middle of the night a times

his mouth and been sucking on toothbrushes and pacifiers (never
used before but feels good on sore gums). Tylenol and Nummies.
