Andrew is 18 Months Old!

Andrew turned 18 months old on the 15th! I can't believe that he's already that old. He is doing so many fun things at this age. We really are enjoying it. Here are some things to remember about Andrew at 18 months old...

* He loves to help out. If we're cleaning or fixing something or anything he wants to be apart of it!

* He says lots of words. Some favorites are- "uh-oh spaghetti-o", "NO", "yummy", "NO", "cookie", "NO", "eat", "NO", "daddy" (not a fan of saying mommy), " "NO", "Ally", "NO", "I got it", "NO", did I mention he says NO a lot?

* He has learned to open doors. We discovered this Monday when Jason found him in the garage!

* I loves to eat! He will eat just about anything.

* He loves going to school. There are many days that I pick him up and he cries, because he wants to stay and play.

* He likes to talk on the phone. He thinks anything that resembles a phone he can talk on so he'll pick it up and hold it to his ear and say "hello?"

* He loves to investigate things. He has to know what you're doing and what you've got. He has to check everything out!

* He sleeps GREAT! He goes to bed usually about 7:00 and will sleep until we wake him up on week days, but usually until 9:00 or 10:00 on the weekends!

There are numerous other things that Andrew does that we think are just fantastic, but I'd be writing for days!

So, here is a question. Have any of you ever had an inner ear infection? Well, I hadn't until Sunday. Sunday evening I started to feel a little bit dizzy, so I went to bed early and thought it would go away. It didn't. I proceded to go to work Monday, but went home around noon because I was so dizzy I was sweating and nauseated. I came home and took some dramamine and went right to sleep. I woke up Tuesday with the same problem so I called in sick (which was difficult, because I don't have any sick days left due to all of Andrew's inner ear infections) and went straight to the doctor. I'm supposed to stay home all week (yeah, right) and not drive. I am home today, but plan to be back at work tomorrow, unless someone else wants to volunteer to take my class to the recycling center and botanical gardens....any takers? Jason and I are also flying out Friday to Florida for Dale Smart's wedding. I'm hoping that I feel better by then.
