Andy man - 2 years, 5 months

At almost 2 1/2 years old, Andy officially has become a "big boy."  He's our buddy - talking a ton and quite the self-entertainer.  Two days ago, he started playing make-believe.  He mostly pulls stories from his favorite move, "Cars" and role plays between his stuffed animals, cars, trains, etc.  It's hilarious to listen to him narrate, especially when he doesn't know anyone is listening. 

Andy is starting to go to the bathroom on the potty, mostly because he is starting to understand that he gets chocolate if he does.  I still am not ready for potty training, so we're just going with the flo and encouraging him when he asks. 

Andy LOVES sports.  Football, baseball, soccer, tennis, GOLF.  He would rather watch sports than cartoons and will stop in his tracks if he sees something sports related on TV, in the car, etc.  He points out every soccer field, "Husky" stadium (because they all are related to the Huskies - yep, we've trained him well!), and will kick, throw or hit any ball he can get his hands on.  He also LOVES trains, cars, boats, planes and anything that moves.  His favorite activity is playing with his train tracks.  This may be tied with reading books.  He could read books ALL DAY LONG.  He loves to point out all of the characters and re-tell the story after he has heard it once before.  Andy still loves his oatmeal in the morning and will eat applesauce all day long (especially if it's from Trader Joes).  His favorite food is anything that he can dip (into "dip-dip" as he calls it), pizza, mac n cheese, any type of pasta, strawberries, popcorn, and candy.  He has quite a sweet tooth! 

I LOVE my little buddy and am enjoying him so much these days.  He is quite a little ham and trouble maker - but he makes us laugh and smile all day long.

Andy could have played golf every second of the day down in Palm Desert - and especially likes to compliment his own form by saying - "nice shot Andy!"
