The Drew-man is our little man! He is a bundle of fun and a terror all at the same time! Usually while he is causing havoc and turning over the just picked up box of toys, he is smiling and laughing as if this is the best day of his life; and before you can catch him he is on to the next thing to destroy.At such a young age he knows how to joke around when we ask him things and usually is ready to wrestle anytime he sees the opportunity (if someone is on the floor).
He has a growing vocabulary, but these are things he has mastered to say:
Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, Oh Man, uh oh, yes, NO, juice, futbol (word for any sport but especially hockey).
He devours anything that you offer him and takes after the other 2 in this house when it comes to loving things to drink. He never wants to be left out of the action, in his mind, if they going - I am going! He loves his daddy, but for the first time I think he favors his mom more. :)
I took Andrew to the Dr. a couple days ago to follow up on his continual constipation issue and his lack of gaining weight. He is still only 18.8 pounds at 16.5 months old. I think that's what he weighted at his 9 month checkup. The doctor ran some tests which required me and 2 other nurses holding him down while 1 nurse tried to find a vein in his little arm to extract blood from. It was not fun to say the least especially since it took a couple of tries. There is a very good chance, that there are no issues, he just might be a small kid. But at the same time, my heart aches to think that anything else might be going on in his little body. Once I know something, I will let you all know.
As for Andrew, we all look forward to him waking up in the morning, because he is so joyful and playful. There are mornings when Isabelle just can't handle waiting and she wakes him up. I love the way he loves life with his joyful attitude and loves me with his sweet hugs and kisses!
**I got a message from the Dr. that all the results came back "normal", so I guess he is just small! Praise Jesus!**
Great News on Andrew! May I say Steph you are beautiful (both inside and out) I've looked at your pictures with jealousy....I asked "hey wait a minute who is the skinny gal in all the pictures! How much have you lost? Is the secret three little active kids? Love you!

ReplyDeleteGood to hear that everything's o.k. with the little man!
ReplyDeleteLuke's on the smaller side too..more so, shorter side. Oh well, right? Being on the smaller side is a bonus for hockey players, isn't it? Closer to the ice!
