Random pictures

I was really sick for a couple of weeks so here are some random pictures, nothing too exciting. He did some more things with daddy that week.

Playing trains

My little conductor

(He's already planning his 'Thomas birthday' I don't think he understands that it's 11 months away)

Mr. Fix-It

Helping daddy fix the vaccuum

He also learned to spit, how attractive. Could a mother be prouder?

This is one from Bradley Lake Park, he LOVES that blue car! He asks to go to the one by Wal-Mart with the car.

Andrew's 3 year stats

So I took my big boy for his 3 yr. well child visit on Monday, April 13th (right before we got sick).

ANDREW, 3 YEARS OLD:

29 lbs.

36 inches

He is very smart, so now we are going to work on some more physical things, which he is more timid about. He still can't jump, he's going around the house with his batman cape trying to fly and jump. :) He will stand on one foot though.

Andrew's Easter basket at home

Since I had to work a 12 hour shift on Easter I told Andrew that the Easter bunny knew that and decided to bring his Easter basket on Monday morning. Besides he knew he was going to have a few other celebrations the day before.

Here is his Easter basket. The piano, the blue box, and the horse he already had on his table. But he did get the Diesel train and the Spiderman placemat for Easter.

He even received a letter from the Easter bunny in the mail.

Showing me his new friend 'Peter Rabbit' that he got at Muh's house. (He fell asleep in the car the night before so he's still wearing his dress shirt...with pj pants)

Spiderman!

What's in here? Is there candy? I can't get it open.

More Easter fun with the Bouma's

"Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go."

So after my parents' house Andrew and daddy went to Matt's parents' house to celebrate Easter with them. He got to do a THIRD Easter Egg hunt.

Starting to fill his basket

Have to get those eggs before cousin Sam gets them all.

What a cutie!

Anything in here? Nope, just real eggs.

More pictures

Then Andrew and Sam dogpiled on grandpa and had a tickle fight

This one is my favorite!

This one is my second favorite

Easter fun at Muh & Grumpa's house

It's actually May now, but I was pretty sick for two and a half weeks and I'm trying to catch up on the blog. I got sick 2 days after Easter, no I don't have swine flu! I had to work on Easter for 12.5 hours but Andrew had 3 different egg hunts. He did a small one at church and then headed to Muh and Grumpa's house and 'Auntie Kara' helped him look for eggs.

Auntie Kara

Hey is there one under the pillow?

What's in there? Is it candy?

Andrew's eggs were 'hidden' around the house where they were fairly easy to find,

Kara however had to decipher clues to find hers.

One in Grumpa's office

Andrew got a very realistic looking rabbit in his Easter basket that he named Peter Rabbit and gives him a hug and kiss every night at bedtime. Kara took it from him and ran around the house with Andrew chasing after her trying to get it back and yelling, 'that's my bunny.' :)

Auntie Kara and Andrew

My sweet little man :)

Elmo and Candyland

It was raining when Andrew got up from his nap today so we decided to play Candyland. Daddy won and Andrew came in second, mommy however was a VERY distant fourth. (Andrew played two pieces)

Telling us what color we got, and how many squares

Showing us which square to go to

He loved having mommy and daddy's undivided attention.

A fun picture of Andrew and Elmo in sunglasses. Elmo was 'helping' us do puzzles this afternoon.

Easter eggs

We had a lot of fun decorating Easter eggs Tuesday night after dinner. Only one fell on the floor and cracked, not too bad.

We got a Marvel comics dyeing kit. Complete with Spiderman of course!

Daddy helping Andrew pick stickers to put on his eggs. And teaching the names of all the superheroes. :) (he already knew some of them)

"I can do it!"

Andrew was actually pretty good about putting the egg gently in the dye with the dipper. I just wanted to help him get it over the cup first so he wouldn't drop the egg.
