Spring has arrived

swing.jpgApril 24: Spring has come to Wisconsin.  The daffodils are blooming and are in their full glory.  Tulips are beginning to appear and fill yards with color. The maples are flowering, and the streets are lined with their other-worldly spring-greenness.

We’ve enjoyed taking Andrew out into the yard a lot the last few weeks.  He’s having fun exploring all the new things that he can put in his mouth.  Andrew has become pretty adept at rolling from front to back and from back to front.  A couple days ago, he even got up on all fours while in his crib and started rocking back and forth.  He’s thinking about crawling!  But he still only has the reverse gear in his transmission activated so far.  Backwards and turning.  And his favorite activity is still emptying out his box of books or his box of toys. Andrew is a champion clapper, and he has a great head -shaking trick, but he seems to have forgotten his third trick of making popping noises with his mouth.  When I ask him to do it, he claps instead:)

We had a nice Easter and got to meet Kyle’s family.  Andrew also got his picture taken with the Easter Bunny.  That weekend, we got Andrew a bike trailer so he can go on bike rides with us.    Photos of out outings to Olbrich with Andrew and Easter are in the gallery.

A couple days ago, Bryan biked Andrew over to a park to enjoy an afternoon outdoors together.  Photos of Andrew with our various furred family members and of Andrew’s trip to the park with Dad are also in the gallery.
Happy spring to everyone!
