It's been very fun having Grandma here for the week! The kids have loved having her to play with. Today we went to the zoo. Everyone though Evie was the cutest little thing in her strawberry outfit. The weather has finally cooled off too so it was perfect for today.
This is his new face he makes when he says cheese, haha
Today we went to the Boo at the Zoo. They had trick or treating and lots of fun decorations everywhere so Andrew had a good time. He even left his cape and mask on the whole time! It was really hot though, hopefully it starts cooling off soon. Andrew loves painting in the bath tub now as well. I have to hide all pencils and pens becuase he loves to draw on anything so the fact that I actually let him paint on the walls and tub is probably why he likes it so much haha.
Brandon taught Andrew how to shake his booty, haha, pretty cute
This week we went to the zoo and the science museum. I bought a year pass to the science museum and Andrew love it! The first thing he asks me when he wakes up is to see the fish. He really loves fish and sharks right now. I got him some shark books from the library and he loves reading about them. They have a little touch tank at the museum so Andrew and Evie got to touch starfish, urchins, and crabs. Evie goes crazy for it, haha, they all think she is really funny. We saw a planetarium show about space that they really liked too. We have been there every day except Sunday since we got the pass. At least we are getting our money's worth out of it!
Evie is getting 2 more teeth in on the top so she will have 4 on top and 2 on bottom. She is going to have a whole mouthful soon! She has started pulling herself up to standing position as well. She is quite a little troublemaker, haha. She loves to have anything Andrew is playing with so she crawls over to him and touches whatever he has and makes him so mad! No matter how many times she gets shoved out of the way or tackled by him she keeps coming back for more, haha.
Evie is so serious when I give her new things to touch. I can't get one smile.
Andrew loves to help "cook". Sprinkles are his favorite.
Last week was a tough week. Brandon did an anesthesiology rotation so he had to be at the hospital by 6:00 which meant he had to take the car every day so we were stuck at home. We all go a little crazy being in the house for too long. I walked to the park and everywhere we could but it's still not the same as going somewhere fun! Brandon also went to a poster conference in Tampa to present his case. It is about a 4 hour drive there so I stayed home with the kids while he went. The presentation went pretty well and we are all back together again. The kids definitely missed Brandon even though it was just one day. We are a lot happier now that he is back!
Evie is 7 1/2 months old now and learned how to crawl in the last couple days! She crawls all over the place now and grabs every little thing she can find on the floor. Paper is her favorite thing to chew on so I have vacuumed multiple times and moved all papers that are close to the floor. She also has her 2 top teeth just starting to poke through the gums now. She is getting so big!
We found a new nature center in Boca Raton that has turtles and big fish tanks with little sharks in them. It is Andrews new favorite place on the planet. He asks me the minute he wakes up for the fish and sharks, haha. He is starting to talk a lot better. He will now point out things to me and say them. The other day he saw something shaped like a circle and was able to tell me circle, so that is great! He also somehow learned the word rainbow without me teaching him, haha. He has a noah's flood book with a rainbow in it and he clearly can say rainbow. Evie's new crawling is making him a little crazy too because she crawls over and touches his toys and boy that makes him mad! He is going to have to learn how to share better soon. They are pretty cute when they play together though. Evie puts up with quite a bit of rough housing so it's good she is a tough little thing. They just keep getting cuter and sweeter each day. So fun to be their mom! :)
