My Little Helper

Andrea spent the day helping me clean yesterday. She handed me the clothes from the baskets. As I took each one she said, "Thank koo!" While making the bed I set the pillows to the side. She lifted each one (which was as big as her)up to me. Then we switched the laundry. She walked each article of clothing from the washer to the dryer. I love my front loading washer. It was so neat to see her want to do whatever I was doing. She loves her mama.

I love my potty!

Andrea's new spot to sit and read books is on her little potty. I put a pile of books next to it and she just chills while she reads. She went pee pee on the potty twice. This was totally chance, but hey that's two diapers saved. Now she puts her teddy bear on the potty and reads books to it. She is so precious.

Godmama I miss you!

We had a blast at Surrey Center playing by the fountains when Annie came to visit. Look how hard Andrea is laughing! Do you think she was enjoying herself? We hope you can come back to Georgia soon!

Kisses for Addie

Andrea and Addie love each other so much. Addie says, "MMMAAA!" while Andrea tackles her with a big squeeze. When Monica and Carmen babysat they let the girls dress up like cowgirls. Aren't they darlin?

Hilton Head

Hilton Head was the best. I am so thankful that John suggested that we just go for a night to the beach to let Andrea play in the sand and water. We were able to relax and John got a much needed one day break from studying. Here are some pictures!

To Switch or Not to Switch

My friend Shanna let me borrow some cloth diapers. I didn't really know how keen I was on the idea. I've been using them and realized that I have definitely been spoiled with the convience of the disposables. A cool incidence happened the other day though. Andrea does not like how the cloth diapers feel because she can feel the wetness. The other day I heard her doing her deliberated jibber jabber. She walks into the kitchen in her cloth diaper where I am washing dishes and hands me a disposable. I guess she knows which diapers she likes.

Time for sledding

Ohio must have influenced Andrea. I was wiping off the changing table and the plastic pad the other day. Andrea got so excited. She piled her stuffed animals on top of the mat and started pulling them around with the strap. It looked like she was pulling a sled. Then she got on it with them and was trying to pull her feet forward to move herself and the animals. I tried to get it on video, but of course as soon as the camera came out she sat there and smiled and then hid. Oh well! I promise you it was so cute.
