Finally getting better over being sick!

 I put Andrew's alphabet flashcards on the wall and he loves it! He can find a lot of the letters if I ask him too and can say A B E U and M. He likes to sing along with the alphabet song. I think his speech is improving quite a bit.

 Andrew likes making collages, though he gets frustrated when the pictures don't come back off of the sticky paper.

 Andrew likes to say cheese for the camera now and then look at his picture

 I opened a few of the tables from Andrews Christmas train track box. He has been very creative with them and I don't know how we ever got a long without them now. He loves to put all his cars up there and puzzles and anything.

 Evie climbs on everything now and just wants to stand up. She is such a trouble maker! She especially loves to pull books down and get in to any electrical cord she can find. And of course loves to be anywhere Andrew is stealing his toys, haha. She doesn't want it unless he has it. She just started taking some steps while holding on to my hands. Can't believe she is already 9 months old! It has gone by so fast. She is such a sweet happy little busy girl.

This week we are finally starting to feel better. Brandon went to the E.R with a bowel obstruction and is still not feeling well though. He can't eat anything without getting sick :( And he still has to make it through his long days at the hospital. Hopefully he heals soon! We had the little neighbor boy come over yesterday for the first time. He is just a few months younger than Andrew. Andrew loves to have a friend! Although after the first hour he started getting very frustrated that he had to share so much with him, but it's a good learning experience for him. Andrew has been very sweet lately. He likes to hold doors open for me now like a little gentlemen, haha. At night when it is bedtime he turns into the sweetest kid I have ever seen. The other day he just wanted to snuggle with Brandon and me and he kept grabbing Brandon's hand and making him rub his head, haha, it was cute. He knows how to turn on the charm when it is time for bed so he gets to stay up later.
