Andrew loves to run around naked after bath time and drag his blanky all over, haha. Brandon says no naked pictures, but he is just so cute I can't help it!

 Andrew likes to wear shoes now but can't walk in the shoes we have for him. I tried getting some new ones but I can't find any that aren't too clunky for him to run in.

Well I have made some progress with Andrew this week. I discovered that he loves fruit smoothies for breakfast. So every morning I make a tropical smoothie and add carrots, spinach, and pear juice. He drinks almost an entire cup! It's been great for helping him get less constipated and he gets some vegetables in. I also discovered he loves to eat black olives which I think is so funny because they have such a strong taste but he loves them. It has been a lot of work figuring out what he will eat and not eat. I am constantly looking up ideas or cooking something for him. I am just so worried about him not eating enough so I stress about it all day. Mostly I found he will eat for about 5 minutes then he thinks he is full so he runs around for a bit and then he gets super cranky so I know he is hungry again. I wish he would eat more in one sitting but as long as he is eating I'm ok with it. I also switched him to soy milk which seems to be better for him as well. He switched with no problem so that was nice. He is also starting to entertain himself for a little bit throughout the day which is really nice. He learned how to play drums on pots and pans and anything he can hit, haha, and he loves trying to stack cd's onto the cd stand thing. Andrew also has been sleeping through the night consistently finally! He goes to bed at 7 and wakes up at 7. I think this has helped him be much more pleasant during the day.

Brandon's back is still really bad. Sitting is the worst for him. So when he has to go to school for a couple hours at a time and sit in the hard desks he comes home in a lot of pain. He is going to try to get in to see a physical therapist to see if they can help him. Right now he is still crooked and has a mild scoliosis.

We enjoyed watching conference this past weekend. We got to watch the full morning sessions while Andrew was taking a nap and some of the afternoon ones. I really liked the talk by President Uchtdorf on finding happiness in the journey. I think I am definitely guilty of thinking negatively sometimes or thinking that someday I can be happier because life is hard right now, but I think it is important to stop and recognize all the good things that I do have. Not every day is perfect but there are lots of sweet moments every day that I get to have with my little family. My favorite is when Andrew races up and wraps his arms around my neck as hard as he can to give me a hug :) We are very blessed and I am so grateful that we are members of the church and get to hear the inspired counsel from the Lord. I can't imagine trying to have a strong family without it.
