Merry Christmas

Capturing a moment

On Sunday John's parents came over and took us to a nice brunch at No Frill. After we ate John attempted to get a photo of Andrew and his parents. As you can see someone did not want to sit still.

Of course he was delighted when he had the camera all to himself.

Blackberry Baby

This may be a hint that John spends too much time on his Blackberry. Here is Andrew having a BB conversation complete with fake laugh. Always the gent he knows the proper closing is "bye". Andrew also wanted to say Happy Birthday to Grandpop.

Welcome home!

Andrew's Grandpa has been out of the country for several months. Andrew has been missing him, so this weekend he headed up the welcoming committee. We spent the day in Williamsburg eating too much food. Andrew is really proving to be his father's son by enjoying lots of garlic and olives. John and I went out for a bit and when we returned we caught these two catching a few winks together.

Andrew's wild bedhead has returned.

Andrew's early Christmas

Andrew was showered with gifts this weekend on our trip to Philly. He got tons of hugs and kisses on top of all of his new toys.

Here is Kevin showing him how to rip into wrapping paper. Andrew has grown a lot since the last time

AMJ went all over town looking for this Yo Gabba Gabba dance mat.

It was a big hit.

Nana gave him some assistance with another present.

He is really getting the hang of it.

Another day. More toys.

Billy got him a Muno doll.He loved it.

After a great weekend it was time to say goodbye.

John and I had a great time seeing everyone, but like every time we get together we are having too much fun to get pics of everyone.

Andrew vs. Santa

Last week we took Andrew for a pow-wow with Santa. He was happy as a clam when we arrived but things took a turn for the worse when Santa came over to say "hi".

Here he is before he was terrified.

This was the only photo they could get of him not crying. Little Mr. Sad Sack.

Don't worry, it was nothing that a vanilla milk shake couldn't make better

Andrew had another great Thanksgiving. He loved seeing everyone and had a wonderful day.

As always he was thankful for his baba.

He played with his favorite toys at Grandmom's. Her funnel and trashcan.

He got lots of hugs and kisses.

Pop pop and Mimi made a great Thanksgiving dinner but Andrew refused to eat any of it. Instead he opted for a raisin bagel.

Andrew Dances

Andrew was feeling very 2002 and decided to eat his Cheerios while listening to The Sounds "Seven Days a Week". He says this song was all the rage back in 02. Check out his moves to this one.

Happy Halloween!

Andrew celebrated his second Halloween today.

Here he is doing his best zombie impression.

Time to get into costume.

Taking a break from bloodsucking to enjoy some Teddy Grahams.
Until next year, stay cool friends.

Another Andrew Video

I hope you all are keeping up. Skip a day and you might miss something.

Andrew gets winterized.

We take Andrew on an evening walk pretty regularly, but tonight was the first night we really had to bundle him up.

As you can see he was decked out in his winter finery.

Andrew enjoyed some of his favorite drink while we had some hot coffee.

Life was a little more managable without the jacket.

Does this make me a bad parent?

Andrew seems to like Judas Priest. I listen to a variety of music with him but he seems to enjoy JP's "Painkiller" the most. Here he is rocking out.

Andrew and Morris in the Pumpkin Patch

Morris invited Andrew to the "Fall Festival" at his school.

Andrew was shocked when he saw a little pig.

Really shocked.
Super shocked.
Morris loved riding the pony.

Andrew did not.

Hanging out in the Pumpkin Patch.

Posing for pics.

Looking for the best pumpkin.We act like they are friends but really they don't even acknowledge each other. It was difficult to get a picture with both of them in it.

In their subtle ways they let us know it was time for lunch.
Andrew gnawed on some straw.
Morris chomped a pumpkin.
Straw appetizer.


Perusing the menu.
Andrew decided to have paper and Morris ate a crayon.

Even though the weather was terrible we had a great day together.
