We recently took a fantastic family vacation with my parents and my brother and his family - including Andrew counsin Evey. Andrew loves Evey, but is not used to playing with an independant 5 year old who loves to direct playtime. A couple of times he got annoyed by Evey's instructions on how to move his animal, which ended in his hitting Evey out of frustration. We followed with appropriate time out and lots of words about how you don't hit, etc.
Last night, while Andrew was laying in bed talking himself to sleep, we hear "Huggy (his favorite Lovey/stuff animal), no hit Andrew. You time out."
Apparently... he got the message.

My Brandyn
Andrew recently learned our first names. While he still addresses us by Mama and Dada, he understand that we have other names too. This morning he was talking about "My Brandyn" (which really sounds like "My Bannen). So cute!!

Ride 'Em Cowboy!!
This weekend we drove to Fresno to spend time with Brandyn's family. Its was a jam packed visit with a trip to Storyland, nail painting party for my niece's birthday, lots of playtime with cousins, date night with my brother and sister in law (thanks to Grandma C), and finishing it off with Vintage Days at Fresno State.
The campus was packed with students food and game booths. The highlight of the day (besides the free cupcakes!), the pony rides! I'll admit, I did NOT think my shy guy would be into them. Not only did he like it, he was begging to ride!

Cousin-ly Love
Andrew is the youngest of his 4 cousins - 3 on Brandyn's side... 1 on mine. He can't get enough of his cousins - "Less-yee" (Leslie), "Ax" (Alex), "Yay-cob" (Jacob) and "E" (Evey). All four cousins came to visit to celebrate Andrew's birthday!
No cousin gathering would be complete without a "Dog Pile"!
And the quintessential group cousin pic!
