Andrew

Here are just a few pictures of Andrew. He is wearing his first cardinals shirt today because his daddy dressed him. The other picture was taken yesterday. I couldn't believe it when I put a 6 month outfit on him and it already fits. I feel he is just growing up to fast. Everyday he amazes me with how alert and aware of everything that he is.

Fun Weekend

Rani hunted eggs at her Grandparents' (Scrivener) house this past Saturday. She filled her basket up then proceeded to fill Andrew's basket. I guess he was worn out from watching her run around collecting all the eggs.




Look at those curls....



I put Andrew down in Rani's princess chair for a minute. I had to snap a picture quick because Rani was about to push him out. I guess we will have to get Andrew his own chair.



I just wonder what Andrew thinks of his big sister Rani.....

So much to update!

I want to keep up with this blog because I know how much I enjoy looking back and seeing all that I have documented. I get overwhelmed when I don't blog for a while and feel that I have missed so much. So here are some highlights from the past few weeks.

Laura and Joshua came and stayed about three weeks with us and we thoroughly enjoyed them being here. Laura and I took Joshua, Rani, and Andrew to the Memphis zoo and we had a great time. Some of their favorite animals were the giraffes, elephants, and grizzly bears. We were all worn out by the time we got home, but it was a very fun day. Joshua and Rani really did good at getting in and out of the stroller in order to be able to see. Andrew was so content with just being pushed in the stroller.

As Aunt Laura says, “Andrew is cool as a cucumber.” He is very laid back. The lady that kept him in the church nursery Sunday told me that Andrew was nosey. She said he wanted to be sitting up at all times where he could watch Rani playing. He does love his sister. I love to watch his expressions as he watches her run from one end of the house to another as he observes while being in his exersaucer. I also love to watch through the rear view mirror in the car as I am driving and see them holding hands and smiling at each other.

Rani has so many toys and she plays with all of them but she also can entertain herself with just about anything. One of her favorite things is empty diaper boxes which we seem to have a lot of these days.

Rani and Joshua hunted eggs several times. Rani is a very competitive egg hunter. She would fill her basket and then try to get the ones out of Joshua’s basket.

Snow in Vaiden

No blizzard here, but we did get a dusting of the white stuff here last night.

Rani loves to sleep late in the mornings. On most days that is perfectly fine but on Sunday mornings I always have to wake her up to get ready to go to church. Whenever I get her up it takes her a while to fully wake up. This picture was taken this past Sunday after I got her up as she was just relaxing in the recliner.

I thought I would try Andrew sitting in the bumbo seat today. Rani wanted me to take him out so she could get in it.

Friday night

I just thought I would post a picture to show what is going on in the Scrivener house on Friday night. I told Don that we needed to tag team and keep the washer and dryer going for the next 24 hours in order to get caught up on laundry. :) Rani even felt like she needed to help.





I cooked some cheesecake brownies tonight. I saw the recipe on a friend's page on facebook. They were super easy to make and pretty tasty.

Update

I took Andrew to the doctor yesterday for his two month shots. He now weighs 10 lbs and 6 ounces. I am still learning how to manage with two little ones when getting out and about. I had Rani and Andrew at the doctor's office by myself. It is a challenge keeping Rani entertained for 45 minutes while waiting in a very small room. Rani loves books so I took three books but we probably read them about five times each.

Rani reading one of her books.

Andrew is just so content lying in his bed watching his mobile.

Rani loves to get in her car with my cell phone and act like she is talking and driving her car. I don't know where she would have gotten that idea!!!!

My camera is a little slow in capturing his smile.
