That can't be right! :)
We went in for Andrew's 15 month check-up last week. He is 32 inches tall(75th percentile) and weighs 22 lb 12 oz(25th percentile).
He has actually lost a few ounces since his 1 year old appointment. These are crazy stats for anyone who knows Andrew and has seen this child take down some food! I think all the growing in length must have caused him to shed a little weight.
Either that or those scales were wrong! :)
He checked out great and has met all of his milestones. He wasn't feeling too great at his appointment, so we opted out of the shots and saved them for his next check-up. He was running a fever which I think was caused by teething.
Speaking of teeth...this little joker has 16 teeth now!! That is 12 more than big brother had at this age! These last set of I-teeth have been the toughest for him so far. Hopefully we are done with teeth for a while!
At 15 months, Andrew is a wild man, running everywhere, into everthing, all boy little toddler...who still looooooves his mommy and loves to snuggle in his downtime. And what I wouldn't give for those moments! I love my little sweetheart! :)

Summertime Fun
We have had a busy and really fun summer so far! Here are some long overdue pictures from a birthday party that we went to a few weeks ago.
Our friends had a cookout at their house to celebrate their little girl's 4th birthday. And as you can see from the pictures, we all had a great time.
My little cool dude.
Yes Mr. DeMille, I am ready for my close-up!
Will went down this slide probably a hundred times.
Could this kid get any cuter?!
The whole gang!
"Happy birthday to Anna!"
If Will wasn't on the slide, he was in the trampoline with Maria...(He called her his new best friend on the ride home! :) too cute!!)
Thanks Petrolias for a fun cookout!!
This past weekend, we made a trip down to Jackson to visit my family. My older sister, Becky and her family were in town from Virginia and we always try to make it down to see them while they are in Mississippi. Missy and her girls came over too! We even got a special visit from our "sister" Natalie from up the street! ;) The only one missing was Erin. Maybe next year, we can get her in town too!
We spent ALL day and ALL night out by the pool. It was so fun to be with all of the family, and Will played all day in the pool with Preslie, my sister's 4 yr old daughter. Those two were inseperable! Andrew pretty much spent the whole day in either my arms or Nonnie's arms. He isn't quite the social butterfly just yet!
Will was the first kid to call it quits on the day. At around 8:30, he came up to me and Natalie and told us: "My a little sleepy. I think I wanna go take a bath and go to bed." That kid loooovvveess his sleep. We were happy to oblige and Andrew wasn't far behind him. But, we had to bring Will back out after bathtime for our annual group shot!
We hope to see everyone again soon!!

FL here we come!
Dan, Will, and I took a trip last week to visit my sister and her husband who live in Ocala, FL. We decided not to bring along little Andy. A 10 hour car ride sounded challenging enough with just one kid. But don't feel too bad for Andrew. He got to spend a week getting spoiled by Nonnie and Papaw all by himself! :) (Nonnie has some pics from his vacation that I will post later.)
So, we took off on Thursday heading for Central Florida. Will was AMAZING in the car. We brought along a portable dvd player, a bag full of goodies and snacks(thanks, Nonnie!!), and books on tape to keep him occupied. He actually went almost 8 hours into the trip before we had to break out the movies. Like I said...amazing!
We had such a fun trip. We hung around Ocala on the first day and did a little shopping and of course, eating!
Then, on Saturday, we decided to head to Orlando to go to Downtown Disney. When planning this trip to Florida, we had contemplated going to a Disney park one of the days, but decided that Will was still a little young and that we would save that vacation for another year. But, being that close to Orlando, we had to do something Disney; so, we checked out the shops and restaurants of Downtown Disney. What a cool place! We sort of got the whole feeling of Disney without the cost and crowds of one of the parks.
**Quick note on the pictures...I am still without a computer of my own, so I am not able to edit the pictures or make any cute little collages like I normally do. So, there are lots of pictures to view and lots of red eye and not a lot of cropping.**
We also found a store that seemed to be created just for Will. RideMakerz is a store where you can build your own play car....think "build-a-bear" but with plastic cars. For anyone who knows Will and his obsession with all things automotive, this was heaven on earth.
He picked out a fire truck. He then got to "build" it.
Then decorated it with stickers and took it for a test drive.
We walked around all afternoon going in and out of stores.
Toy Story 3 things were everywhere!! It was pretty fun for Will since he had just seen the movie a couple of weeks ago.
Then, we ate dinner at T-Rex cafe. Sounded like a fun place for Will because of the animated dinosaurs that "come to life" ever 15 minutes...but Will was little freaked out. He was not expecting them to move. And when they did move while we were waiting in line for our table, Dan and I had to go into crisis recovery mode quickly to get him to go back inside and have dinner. Once he got used to it, he was happy and enjoyed watching the dinosaurs(still very cautiously though).
One more fun thing...we rode a water taxi back to our parking lot! Will was thrilled!
On Sunday, we spent most of the day at Erin and James' house. They cooked a great dinner and then we shot some fireworks outside. Once again, Will freaked a little over the noise and surprise, but was happy just to watch safely from inside the front window. That's what I love about Will. He is a very cautious kid and can be kinda scary about things, but we can almost always reason with him and find some way for him to participate. He is such a fun kid!!
He did enjoy a "sparkly" though!
On Monday, we headed to St. Petersburg for a Tampa Bay Rays/Red Sox game.
We ate brunch at this cute little dive, Skyway Jack's, that Erin and I had read about in the Food Network magazine. It was sooo good!
The rain tried to keep us from tailgating before the game, but a quick stop at Walmart to buy a tent, and we were on our way...rain and all!
Our seats were in a great spot...right behind the Red Sox bullpen.
Matsuzaka
Papelbon and Bard
We had a blast at the game! The Rays won the game and Erin even had Will cheering "go Rays" on his way out of the park, wearing his Red Sox shirt and all! :)
We had a great and much needed vacation. Thanks Erin and James. Let's do it again soon!!
