PJ's & stuff





A few pics of Andrew hanging out in his new pj's....And other randoms! He has on the kneepads Aunt Kerri got for him while she was in Korea & he's banging on the window to get Abby & Oscar's attention. The fireworks are the post-poned July 4th ones that Stillwater rescheduled for Labor Day. We're very excited to know that we can see them from the backyard, now we can have parties & not have to travel to see the show!!

Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch-October 5, 2010




My friend (and hairstylist extraordinaire) Richa invited myself & Andrew for a playdate at the pumpkin patch in Arcadia. I thought we would really be going to a pumpkin patch, eat some lunch & let the kids play.....Instead we had corn & hay mazes, smores, petting zoos, pony rides & hayrides! Andrew did touch some of the pumpkins (thought the lumpy ones were poison!) but he liked the animals the most *his mother's son*. Richa & I got a few pics of him with the goats & on his pony ride, a first! I also saw the breed I would like for our next dog-a Mauzer-it's a cross between a Maltese & min. Schnauzer. Owner said 'cottonball' was hypo-allergenic & didn't shed or bark (much) & had been great with kids! I liked him b/c he was close to Prissy size & had a cute face!

Early anniversary- October 2,2010



So Danny & I celebrated our anniversary a little early this year by staying at the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa. It's been totally rennovated from when Danny was younger & it was a not so nice place to be! Done in the Art Deco style, it was really interesting to see the restoration & homage to a beautiful landmark. We also took Andrew to buy his first pair of shoes at another Tulsa landmark-Trippets has been in business since 1937! The gentleman that helped us had worked there for 36 years & the service was wonderful! Andrew wasn't so sure about the shoes-it was like we put cement blocks on his feet! He's totally adjusted to them now, although he still curls his toes!

Updates

So, it's really been a while since I posted! So much has been happening with the new house & Andrew...he's up to 22 pounds & is standing up on his own-not quite walking unaided, but man can he circle a coffee table! He babbles away-only true words he says are 'Mom' *love* and 'Bob'. He started saying 'Bob' after a saturday with Grandma & Grandpa Chance! At daycare, they moved him up to the toddler class a month or so ago, but that lasted for a week-stopped eating & was throwing fits when we dropped him off in the mornings (totally atypical for him)...So, we went back to 'wobbler' status (he started eating & was happy again) and now we're in the process of slowly transitioning back to 'toddler'. I think it was just too soon to move him since he'd just gotten settled into the new daycare/teachers & now he's more confident. I finally got birthday invitations sent out-looking forward seeing family and friends (and watching Andrew try cake!). I can't believe he'll be 1 in a couple of weeks! We're also looking forward to Halloween-Andrew will be too cute! Hoping to spend the weekend in Wichita Falls so we (I) can watch MSU's Homecoming & then take Andrew around to family for trick or treating!
