Happy Halloween!

We had a full day of Halloween fun. We had not gone to the pumpkin patch yet so we went to a local church that still had some out. Andra had so much fun walking around and trying to pick them up. Here she is trying to sit on a pumpkin that is almost as tall as her. It was great to have my mom here for the weekend. She came in on Friday to babysit so Andrew and I could go to the ballet.
Andra's Wela (my mom) brought her another vintage toy. It is my "three men in a tub" bath toy. Andra loved it! I love that currently her favorite toy is a dog that my grandmother made me.

In the afternoon we went to The Little Gym open time. Andra loves the little gym. I am going to post a video of her going up the "rock wall".

While Andra did not go trick or treating she did help me hand out candy. She loved seeing all the kids. Then to make the night perfect, we ran out of candy before the UT game started.

Andra and goat cheese

Andra loves goat cheese and most other white cheese. She was a mess this night and it just called out for a picture. There is butternut squash, cheese and alfredo sause and even some pasta on that cute face.

dance moves

Andra danced for her Dad and Aunt Alma. So she missed one "step" at the end of the dance, i think she is so cute. She is very into sitting on things right now so I assume she was trying to sit on the step down between the rooms.

party at Tim's

We went to a party at our Uncle Tim’s house on Saturday. We do not have stairs and Andra thought they were great.

This is her taking a break on the first landing.

Here Andra was trying to explain to her Dad that she was having fun and wanted to go back up.

If we were not on the stairs we were doing laps. We love to walk.

We love to wave good-bye too!

Catch up

The next couple of posts are catch up from the last two weekends and last week. We had a different week last week. Andra got sick so a trip to the Dr told us she did not have the flu (either of them) nor did she have strep but she did have an ear infection. This is her second ear infection and the first time she had a fever with the infection. Neither time has she has sleep or eating problems and she was not pulling on her ears. This was the first time they gave her penicillin. So last week we learned she is allergic to penicillin. Thankfully she just got sick and got an ugly rash, no breathing problems or other really bad reaction. Mind you the whole time she was running around playing. The only thing that told us she was sick was the fever and then the rash. And Benadryl does not make all children sleepy.

Bow on Bow off

As you can see in many pictures Andra is bowless. This is because she has learned to take them off. I will continue to try and we will see if they come back :(

it was cold out

On Sat before the UT/ou game we went for our walk/jog. It was cold (57ish) so Andra got to wear this cute warm-up out fit. It was still a little big but it was cute. In this picture, as in most, it looks like she has no hair.

Look hair!

Here are some random pictures from this past week

Andrew and I saw this phone at Target. It was in the vintage toy area. VINTAGE, I do not think so. We both remember having this phone and are sure our mother's still have them somewhere. So we had to get it for Andra. What was funny was that she knew just how to use it, even thou none of our phones look like this.

Andra got her "treat" bag in the mail this week.

This was from two Sundays ago. It was cold and we got to dress warm for church.

and yes we had shoes on for church but she takes them off as soon as she can.

almost 14 month

Andra went to the Dr today for her flu shot. She weighs 19lbs (10%), was 29in long (10%) and has a 19in head circumference (90%) . Looks like we will be facing backwards till we get hair ?!?!?!

Andra found the window in her room this weekend. It was very cute.

Another bike ride

This afternoon it warmed up so we went for a bike ride. Andra had so much fun. She was laughing and having fun but then I noticed she was quite. I rode up next to her and saw that she was asleep. She slept for the second half of the trip; even when Andrew hit a big bump. When we got home I ran inside and got the camera but expected her to be awake when I got back outside. Nope she was still asleep. I hope tomorrow is just as nice so we can go again.

It was 57 today

We went for a walk/jog this morning but it was chilly out. Andra got this great outfit from Chase as a hand-me-down. Yes, Amanda did let Chase wear UT clothes, she did marry a Longhorn.

re-Christmas gift fun

Katy gave Andra these mittins for Christmas last year. Andra found them and wanted to wear them all the time last night. If she got them off she would bring them to you and and put her hand out. It was very cute. Here she was playing peak-a-boo. Loving on Dundee!

She was having so much fun it was very cute.
