We've always called Andrew our little stuntman because he is so accident prone. But this is too funny!
Doesn't even need a catch!
We have another one taken right aftert this of him falling too. He didn't get hurt or anything but I am not going to upload it because it is way too long. I just put the cam down running to grab him after he fell and then we held him and checked him over for signs of injury. One of the neighbor kids came running over to see if he was OK. Then daddy said, do you want to try again? And Andrew practically jumped out of my arms and got back ont he trike to go again! He's a little tough guy!
Just an update:
We got a new kitten. Couldn't help it. We've honestly wanted one since we lost Tyler over a year ago and managed to hold out for quite some time. We were down to 2 cats and thought since they are so old now, it'd be OK. And once the stray we tried adopting didn't work out, we really had the fever. This one is very tiny, think we got the runt. She's less than 6 weeks old even! But she's already adjusted very well to our home. And Andrew likes that it is easier to pick her up! Yikes! We tell him to be gentle, good thing she's tough and used to living with young kids. I'll put up pics and videos of her as soon as I can.

First Dental Visit
We finally took Andrew to his first dentist appointment! It took us a while to get the ball rolling, they say nowadays kids should start at 12 months old. But better late than never right!
It was early in the morning, especially for us, 9am! So he was sleepy and a little cranky from that. Plus we skipped breakfast. I didn't want to wake him any earlier than I had to so I just got him in time to get dressed and head out. For other trips we would have fruit in the car but I didn't want his teeth to be all dirty! So he was a bit hungry too. Considering those two major players in Andrew's personality, he was awesome! Even the dentist said he was very well behaved. He cried a bit and wanted mommy to hold him every time they let go. But he let the nice man look at all his teeth and then they put a fluoride brushing on him. I nursed him right after they were done for a few seconds and that did the trick to calm him back down. He was so good! All the nurses thought he was so cute, of course!
His teeth are perfectly healthy and he has all the ones he will get until he is two. One is still growing in but it's through the gums so the hard part is over. Then he has 2 year molars that come in and I hope they wait until well into his two year old year to start. Poor kid needs a break, he's been busting out teeth pretty much once a month ever since he was about 5 months old!
He also saw his doctor last week and he weighs about 27 pounds and is 34 inches tall. Almost a 3 footer! And of course he's perfectly healthy!
I am doing well also. I saw a doctor for my allergies and breathing issues per my midwife's request. They loaded me up with medications I'd never heard of so I did some research and found they are all safe. Still scary to have 3! One is an emergency inhaler so I don't need it often, the others are daily. And is my nose better you ask? Well... kinda. I am not a drippy faucet anymore and I don't get the sneezing attacks and the wheezing has almost subsided, so that is all a great relief. But, like all medicines that alter the natural course of your body, it has opened a whole new door of different issues that are at least easier to deal with and I hope will clear themselves up as my body adjusts to this. I have had the nose problems for over 4 years now so it will probably take a bit for my body to adjust.
I have my sonogram the second week of May. We do not want to know the sex! And since we're no experts, even if we think we see something we think might be something, we really have no way of knowing. We both have our guesses and we all still have 5-6 more months to speculate!
More fun Andrew videos to come soon, next.. stuntman!

18 Months Old
For Andrew's big 18 month old birthday we took him to the mall to play. The weather wasn't nice enough for outside. It was a special day! I still can't believe our little man is 18 months old!
We have a few videos from the mall. Some of them are big so give it a second to load.
Long one:

Morning Cat Play
We tried to keep the cat one more time. She is just too crazy. We even went so far as to make an appointment to have her spayed! Sadly she ran away a few too many times before we could get her fixed. We can't have her running out all the time. It's too hard to keep her in and then she'd cry at the door and window. Of course now that she's out and has been for a while, she wants back in! Too bad so sad! She will probably be in heat soon and we really can't have that in our apartment with an unneutered male living here.
But before she ran off, we had bought a couple of toys for her. Andrew was getting really good at playing with her. It is hard for him to understand completely the concept of the play, that she is trying to catch the bird and he needs to let her get it sometimes! But he had fun watching her chase it. She'd just get tired of him eventually and quit. Or she'd catch it and take off with it!
But here is a video of one morning when he'd woken especially early and couldn't get back to sleep. He had a bit of the sleepy crazies and was a little wild but he is giggling so much and having so much fun! Turn up your volume for this one!
