Happy 11 months!

Poor Emily has been sick with diarrhea for a week now.  We got the call from the Dr last night that her culture came back positive for salmonella.  Good news is I think she is on the mend and is starting to feel much better.  And she is 11 months old today!

It is hard to believe she with be one year old in just one month, where the heck did this year go?!  Emily is still sweet as can be.  She is working on her first top tooth, she is trying so hard to walk but not there yet, she cruises all along the furniture.  She thinks her brother is hilarious, he can always make her giggle.  She has started sign language and she now signs "all done" and "more".

Andrew joined her for some photos, he is wearing his "bike hat".  He really wanted to go wear it on his bike but there is a tropical storm out there so he had to stay inside.

Dolphin Tour

Aunt Jenny gave us a trip on a dolphin tour boat for Christmas and we went down to Clearwater this past weekend to go on our trip.

First we hit the beach before our boat left.  But maybe we should have done that last because Andrew did not want to leave, he was having too much fun playing with his cars in the sand.  And Em could not take her eyes off her feet in the sand!

Andrew had fun looking for dolphins over the side of the boat and Emily was so smiley.

Andrew got a dolphin tattoo and a dolphin cup.  They gave us all leis when we got on the boat and Andrew ended up with most of them.  This spoiled kid didn't even have to hold his own lemonade!

We saw several dolphins, those guys are hard to get photos of!

We cruised along the beach.

After our tour we headed back to grandmas and got in the pool.

Andrew is getting pretty good at kicking his feet but he is a little scared in the water.

Emily has no fear, she thinks she is a fish.  She LOVED blowing bubbles!

We got out the old police car float.  Andrew doesn't fit in it quite as well as he did 2 years ago but he stills loves it!

After the pool, there was more playing with cars.  Here is Andrew telling grandma he needs 2 more cars :)

"How many more do you need, Andrew?"  "I need TWO more"

 

He's two and a half!

Today is Andrew's half Birthday, he is two and a half!  We celebrated with a trip to the doctor! (Not his favorite way to celebrate anything)  He is 36.5" and 32.2 pounds.  He has a wonky thumb that won't straighten all the way and the doctor referred us to a specialist to take a look at it, he may need a tendon release.  Other then that he is perfect!

He is getting so smart and talks non stop now!  He comes up with the funniest stuff!  His favorite show is Dinosaur Train and he LOVES cars and trains.  He also loves to play outside and help mom and dad.

Here are the traditional blue chair photos!

This is him showing me 2 on his fingers, needs a little work!
