If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you should recognize this team! Claire is one of my besties and this is their sixth time on my blog (maternity, birth, newborn, family and when andrew turned one). Theres not much to say about this family that i haven’t already said. I love doing their family photography, i love watching them all interact.

andrew’s favorite things:
new habits, skills, tricks:
everything has to be in pairs. we eat every meal w 2 spoons, he usually has 2 pacifiers on hand, and he likes to play with toys that match (balls, blocks, legos, etc).
Andrew is surprisingly really good at putting his toys and dirty clothes away, which is interesting because his parents are slobs.
Just last week andrew taught himself how to do free standing cannonballs in the bathtub. At first its impressive and then you realize that you could break an arm or bust his head open. Andrew things he is a stunt man in training. There is no height nor depth too scary for him. He often leaps without looking!
I just know we will be “those” parents who are frequent flyers in the emergency room.
favorite andrew moment:
when he practices leading church songs. It took us a while to realize what he was doing the first time he did it. He stood behind his Fischer Price farm (his podium) would hold his hand up to his mouth and blow (like into a pitch pipe) then hold his hand up and give us the pitch.
It was so precious when we realized what he was doing and just shows that children are watching and absorbing everything.
any new advice as andrew is getting older:
i have zero advice to offer other parents now that andrew is getting older. andrew makes if very clear every day that i know nothing! haha! so brycen and i just TRY to be flexible and do what works for us.
