Wonderland
Sorry for the lateness of this post, but it's been an ubber busy week here and this has been literally the first time I have had the time to post anything.
Last Sunday (Aug 17th) my dearest Christina took Andrew and I to Wonderland (for those of you living in the States, Wonderland is something like Paramount Amusement Park in Florida. By the way a big thanks to Christina for taking us, your a sweetheart (i raised you well ;) )... Also thank you Mike for driving us!
Ok, now back to Wonderland, as soon as we entered the gates guess who was standing there waiting for Andrew? Scooby Doo! Yes, Andrew's favorite cartoon, and it has been for over a yr now. As soon as he saw him he got all excited.
As for the rest of the day, i will explain in each picture. Oh and there WILL be lots. Don't forget to click on the photo's if you wanna see the larger image.

Sorry for the long delay.
Lots and lotz have been going on in Andrew's world for the past 2 weeks.
Monday July 28th my sister Lynn from Florida came to our house with her hubby Bill and Andrew's cousin Shaylyn. They stayed over night and then on Tues Andrew and I went back to Kitchener with them for a week.
Tues evening we went to my dads place and stayed there, thanks dad.
Wed we went to my dads trailer, Tammy, Tara, Natyya and Austin met us there, the boys went swimming, the girls played at the park. Later on we went to the big house in Ayr, and the kids jumped on the trampoline (scary), after that Lynn and I and the kids went to Tammy's for the night.
Thurs evening Tammy, Lynn, Stacey, Christina, Tara and i went out and did some singing at a bar, it was a fun evening although Judy was missing, she was camping with her family. Uncle Carman watched Andrew. I later slept over at Tammy place again, it was a great time. (sorry, no pics of that)
Friday Judy came back from camping so Lynn, Shaylyn, Andrew, Austin and I went over to their place, they had a bbq, uncle Manny makes the best BBQ chicken ever and later had a fire in the back yard, Tara, Christina her boyfriend Mike, Dad and Bill came over. We slept over there.
Saturday we went to Maryann and Pauls (my aunt and uncle) for an extended family get together BBQ. Andrew went through about 5 outfits while there, he swam, and played and picked veggies from their garden. It was fun.... Afterwards Lynn and I went to dads and slept over night there.
Sunday Lynn, Bill, Shaylyn, Judy, Manny, Jessica, Melissa, Andrew and i went to Waterloo Park and the kids played in the splash pad for a while and played at the park and then we visited the the animals that they have there. Andrew and I went back to Judy and Manny's, Manny made some more of his super duper chicken breast on the BBQ again, and boy it just keeps getting better and better. Later on Judy and i had a fire in the back, and had a really quiet night together, it was nice.
Sunday my dad, Tammy, Natyya, Lynn, Bill, Shaylyn, Tara, Geoff and Austin popped by for one last visit with the family before Lynn and i went home. After everyone left Manny and the family drove us home. (thank you guys)...
Monday was the day of rest.
Wed Don's parents came over (they live in Ottawa) to visit with us, but mainly with Andrew. We went to Walmart together to picks up things and Andrew's grandparents bought him his own tennis racket and tennis balls. Later on after dinner we all went to the playground at the school for a while before they left to go back to Aunt Lydia's. It was a nice visit.
Thurs we went to Aunt Lydia's place for dinner, Alexander and James were there as well, Alexander and Andrew played quiet a bit together, they get along really well. Andrew also got Grandpa, Nanny and Aunt Lydia to play hide and seek with them. Don was working on Aunt Lydia's computer so we didn't get back till about 2:30 am.
Here a some pics from the past 2 weeks or so.
Austin and Andrew jumping, they LOVED it..

Children See
I happened upon this video. I HIGHLY recommend it for any parent to see that are raising young ones. It's only a min and a half, but it's powerful.

Another First
Andrew fed himself today for the very first time. He went to the kitchen, got a bowl, got the milk and poured it into the bowl and then poured cereal into it. All by him self... Sniff.

Pizza, Parks and Friends
We didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Mainly stayed indoors and helped daddy clean the office up so that we can get the AC fixed.
Saturday we went to the park with Sue and Ethan for a bit and played. Later on Daddy and Andrew went to the store and bought ingredients to make a homemade pizza, to which happened to be Andrews idea and the 1st one he's ever made.
Sunday we babysat Anika. They went to the park. Daddy played a bit of tennis. Andrew and Anika get along with each other remarkably well.
Proof that he gets down and plays really hard :P
The Little Chef waiting on his pizza!

Andrew and Anika, hard core playing!

Major Growth Spurt
As of now Andrew weighs 35 Ibs and is 39 inches in height... Way to go Andrew. Considering he lost 2 Ibs from when he got really sick in May that makes a total of 5 Ibs in just 2 mths! Wow... That explains why he was eating sooo much 2 weeks ago!

BBQ's and Friends and a Birthday
First we want to say Happy Birthday to Nanna G, we really miss you. You would have only been 62 yrs old today. In honor of the day you were born we are burning a candle for you to remember! We love you sooo much.
Yesterday Andrew, Ethan, Sue and I went to Highpark and had a picnic and the boys splashed in the wading pool all day and played on the play area for a while as well. It was a good day but i didn't get much pictures.
Today our building had their annual summer BBQ. Andrew saw a magic show and even volunteered himself to be a helper in the show at one point.

Andrew sure does love his ice-cream

Life's a Beach
Today Andrew and i went to Ashbridge Beach together, just the two of us. We had such a beautiful day. He really is such a well behaved child, i don't know what i did to deserve such an awesome soul in my life, but i am happy! We waded in the water off and on the whole time we were there, we dug a big hole to which Andrew really wanted to do, we started to build a sand castle but i think we'll wait for daddy to help the next time we go. We ate cheesies together on the blanket, and talked about the boats and sand and rocks and things. After that we headed out to the park, but got snapped by an icecream truck that called to him and every child there, young and old. Then off to the playground. There he played at the splash pad for a while and then played on the equipment. After we decided to take a street car home, Andrew's been wanting to go on forever now. The temp was hot all day so the water was very refreshing. It was high 30c and even higher with the humid X... I did not want the day to end. What a beautiful memory. Thank you Andrew. I love you.. Lots of pics coming up!
This is when we first got there, whenever we first arrive anywhere and it's somewhere new he always bites his nails, sort of a nervous habit he's gotten himself into.
In the water with the boat. This boat i must say has been the best one dollar ever spent, he dragged it along with him where ever we went, in water, sand, grass and pavement. He had a blast!
A cheesy moment...
The classic beach photo opt.
Sandman
In thought
Aren't these the most adorable feet ever?
The ice cream that created MANY giggles
More water fun
The view from the playground. (note, this is not the same water we swam in)
I love the way the sun is hitting his face in these two
The sun is going down, time for one last swing and then on the the street car! What a fantastically fun awesome day!
THE END.
