Happy Holidays!

Andrew's first haircut, quite the debacle!

He had to have combs and tools to play with, so that she could do her work.

Andrew looking very studious, reading Horton Hears a Who!

Christmas morning in our pjs. Andrew opened the Curious George bath set and was so enthralled we had to open most of the rest of his gifts.

Merry Christmas!


It has been one busy and hectic year! We finally bought a new laptop computer, a Sony Vaio. It is fabulous, now if only the internet would stop going out every time we get on. I posted first haircut pictures from October (he needs a new haircut already). We enjoyed the fall by attending the home Cowboy football games. Andrew now says C-O....B...Y and cheers with us, who needs a W and another O? He also believes that the only purpose for a tv is "football game!" There is no doubt that Andrew is all boy. Besides football his favorite things are horses and cars. We hear lots of neighs and vrooms.

Andrew has really begun to talk, a lot. We can't keep track of all he knows how to say anymore. He will say things each day that we haven't even taught him, they are complete sponges. Granny yelled out Yee-Haw in the car yesterday and we heard a big Yee-Haw from Andrew right back. When Ryan told him no for touching the ornaments on the tree Andrew responded by shaking his index finger at Ryan and saying "don't touch!" We found out that he learned that from his babysitter, Ms. Margaret. I am really enjoying this age so much!

Ryan's parents joined us at our house for Christmas and we all had so much fun! We cooked a 17lb. prime rib (yes for the five of us!) and we never got out of our pjs all day. Santa was good to Andrew and he is having a good time playing with all of his new toys.

We look forward to new adventures in 2009, and wish everyone Happy Holidays!
