Busy Spring

Since our last post, we've been very busy. We celebrated Marcus' birthday, took a weekend vacation to Pigeon Forge, celebrated Easter, went to baby showers, and enjoyed the warm weather. Unfortunately, I did not take enough pictures to capture everything.

Cousin Marcus turned 1 on March 28th. There was a party at Grandma & Grandpa Meier's house to celebrate. There were lots of kids at the party. Andrew was showing everyone how he could jump.

We received a bike trailer for Christmas. Andrew enjoys taking rides, especially if we ride to the park.

Andrew has started to eat apples all by himself. He is very proud to hold his own apple and take bites. Sometimes he shares with Mom & Dad.

Easter at G&G Meier's House. I think there is a new record for the number of people eating on the bench.

Andrew loves watching Daddy mow the grass. He watches out the back door and bangs on the door, "Daddy. Daddy. Hi Daddy."

At 20 months, Andrew's vocabulary is improving. He is learning new words and has started to repeat what Mom & Dad say. Some new words in his vocabulary include, "shower, truck, tractor, water, car, blueberry (although it sounds like blue). He absolutely loves to play outside and throws a fit when it is time to come inside!

Spring is Here!!!

Thank goodness spring is here. Andrew is so excited to be outside. He has been very busy running around in the yard. He loves to throw the ball and chase after it.

18 Months & 20 Weeks

Our little guy is 18 months. He weighs about 26lbs and is wearing 24-month shirts and 18-month pants. He loves running around, throwing things, jumping, and climbing. He enjoys climbing onto the kitchen chairs so he can reach all the stuff on the table. Andrew is a good eater and hardly refuses any food. Within the last month, he has started to like more fruits including blueberries, grapes, & apples. He likes to help us eat our apples. He got 4 molars between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and his total teeth count is 12.

We managed to get an 18-month picture with the bear. Unfortunately, the only way we could get him to sit still was to give him his milk.

Tickles, Tickles, Tickles

Mom has reached the 1/2 way mark with baby Bergman #2. I've been feeling good, but more tired (likely from chasing Andrew). The baby has been moving and we were able to see the baby on an ultrasound today! Once again, the baby's sex will be a surprise at birth.

20-Weeks

Bergman #2

Tim & I are expecting Bergman #2 on August 1st. Everything has been going well. I have been feeling fine, besides being tired.

This past weekend, we went to Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark in Columbus. We went with 3 other couples with a total of 6 kids. We all had a great time. Andrew liked the pool and going down the slides. He went down the slide with Dad a few times. Then, he went down by himself, but wasn't able to stay sitting.

We had a lot of ice and snow during the last week. Tim attempted clean the driveway, but it was quite a challenge (and workout)! The ice was over an inch thick.

Spaghetti Lunch

Andrew had spaghetti & applesauce for lunch today.

He has started to use silverware, but he doesn't have the patience to get the food on the spoon. He gets frustrated and begins to use his hands. It is very hard to pick-up applesauce with his fingers!

I love the applesauce beard dripping onto his bib!

Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Andrew loved playing with the wrapping paper and his new presents. Santa brought a radio flyer wagon, Mega blocks, tractor, puzzles, and Elf on the Shelf. Andrew received lots of presents from his grandparents & godparents.

Lots of wagon rides in the house.

15 Months!

Wow, It's been a long time since the last post. Since the last post... We've enjoyed another year of Buckeyes football. Andrew was a monkey for Halloween. We took him trick-or-treating to see some family. Troy's trick-or-treat night was very cold, so we stayed in to gave out candy. Cousin Ben had his 2nd birthday party. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family.

Andrew has definitely been growing and getting into more things (notice all the scrapes on his face). He started running at 14-1/2 months and is getting a little faster every day. He has started to dance when music is playing. He bends his knees and bounces up and down. He is much taller and can reach the top of the table and countertop. He knows how to go down the stair steps. His communication is also developing. When asked if he wants some milk, he runs over to the frig and grabs the handle. When asked if he is ready for night-night, he runs over to the stairs waiting for the ok to go up the steps. In the last couple days, he has started to make the hand sign for milk.
