The Calm Before the Storm

The last few weeks Saul and I have just been getting ready for the weeks to come. With vacations, big meetings at work, and lots of other goings on it is going to be an action-packed summer! But we are enjoying every minute of the chances we get to be together and enjoy Andreas' smiles.

One day we were letting Andreas roll around on the floor and weren't paying ultra close attention. When we turned around, he had rolled across the floor and found a bottle that we had fed him previously. We proceeded to grab it, hold it himself, and drink out of it. We were so surprised that we had to take photographic proof!
It was a dark and stormy night...actually the first bad thunderstorm we have had in over a year. Lightning was striking every 3-6 seconds for probably a good hour. The power kept flickering and Saul had to keep running outside to our fuse box to set things straight. Tiffany had just gotten out of the hospital, so on Sam's Birthday (May 14) we had him over and made him a double layer spice cake. I won't tell you how fast he ate it, but I am pretty sure he enjoyed it. He turned 27, which is why there is a 7 in the cake. I even made sure the candles were BYU colors.
I like this picture because he has those cRaaaaaaZY eyes!

I tried to fix Andreas' hair for these pictures of him in the green suit, but you can't really tell. It does its own thing.

Here is Andreas with the end result of a feast of peas and carrots. He is a great little eater and we haven't really found anything that he won't eat (kind of like his parents). Keeping his attention through the whole meal takes quite a bit of effort though -- he gets very interested in everything from his chair, to his bib, to anyone else in the room.
