Andrew & His "New Bed"



Andrew is inventive, intelligent, imaginative....and the list can go on forever. That is why we weren't REALLY shocked when Andrew wasn't sleeping in his nice comfy bed when Daddy went to check on him around 9ish. He told Daddy "that he had made a "new bed" on the floor and to leave him alone". Daddy made sure he was okay, and went on his way to finish working out. Cory convinced me to let him be, and let him go ahead and sleep there. A while later, I was working out and heard Andrew still hard at work in his room. I went to check on him around 10 p.m. and he was still playing with his toys and he told me "they were going to keep him safe in his new bed". I asked if I could cover him up and he agreed...I thought he was tucked in for the night...but I was wrong. I checked on him again at 10:30 p.m. - he was still awake and had gotten all of his blankies out of his drawer...I then covered him up with all of them and told him to go to sleep. My 11 p.m. check on him was one of a peaceful, sleeping, adorable 2 year old surrounded by everything most important to him. It's a cherished memory, and of course I got a couple of pictures to share with you all...Thanks Cory for not letting me be so uptight!

We'll see how the day goes as he was awake bright and early at 6 this morning!
This will determine if Andrew will be able to sleep in his "new bed" ever again. :)

Landon






Here are some cute pictures of Landon I have captured over the past couple of days...I just couldn't wait to share them! He is changing minute by minute it seems. Notice the new hair that's coming in...he's going to have a full head of hair again before too long...it's growing in so fast now. He is becoming animated and expressive and he is so much fun to watch and be around. He absolutely loves to watch Andrew and smiles at him whenever he has a chance. He really loves his big brother. Landon's strength is also surprising as he is starting to try and sit up, and he loves to stand up. The more upright he is the better it seems. Check him out in the exersaucer...yesterday he was even starting to do a jumping motion and loved the way the exersaucer moved with him. I have a feeling that he will be mobile before Andrew was...and once he is watch out!

On a side note...have been working on updating flickr, so if you haven't checked it in awhile there's lots of new stuff there.
