Week 25 - Blizzard 2010!

Week 25 - Blizzard 2010
(1/31/10 - 2/6/10)

This week there are two things that I need to talk about, first is the Blizzard of 2010 and second is the new found "curiosity" that Andrew has with everything and ANYTHING involving his brother!

We got 3 inches of snow last weekend, 5.5 inches of snow on Tuesday and now we just finished up getting 33 inches of snow in the Blizzard of 2010. Considering that Andrew is only 28.5 inches tall I don't think he would have much fun in this snow if he could walk. The drifts are pushing the 45+ inch mark and the picture below is a picture of our car when all of the snow was said and done.....yes that is a car under all of that snow SOMEWHERE!!


Now onto the more important things about Andrew, and what he was up to this week. He is now almost 6 months old so like his brother when he was this age Andrews sole purpose in life is to try and sit up. It actually makes for a quite annoying time when trying to "cuddle" with him because he is always trying to do his little baby situps and get himself upright. When I need to cook, or clean, or just need a break from carrying around a 22 pound baby (yes you read that right....22 pounds) I put Andrew in his baby seat. Normally this is just fine in moderation and he will sit and watch me or I will put the toy bar onto the seat and Andrew will swat and pull on the different toys that are hanging. The other day however was a different story, Paul and Jacob were on the floor playing in his rice box (I will talk about that on Jacobs blog soon) and Andrew just couldn't stand it....he HAD to be right in the thick of things.... he just L-O-V-E-S his brother and has to watch every move he makes. This day was no exception. Boy I hope Jacob is ready to be followed around here in a few months!

Can't you just see the wheels in Andrews head as he is watching them play? He got up into that sitting position because I had the toy bar attached and he pulled himself up through the bar, and then when I saw he wasn't going to lay back down I moved him closer to the action and removed the bar! Boy is my little boy growing up!!!!
