2.5 years and 10 months




This little man is 2.5 today! We can't get over how quickly his language is developing. When I went to get him from his room those morning he asked "Mom, you have to pee in toilet? I give you blue M&M!" He said the second part in the sing-song voice that we use when trying to bribe him....I almost died laughing! He has endless energy, hugs, kisses, and giggles:) I asked Caden and Justin if they wanted anything specific at the store as I was on my out the door. Caden answered "Nectarines! And peaches!".....fitting as he has been gobbling them up lately! Seriously, he ate FOUR entire peaches yesterday.

He wants anything that Andie has....this day it was her bow!


'Helping" dad mow the lawn


Splash park play date with Alistair and Ethan!


Justin went to Toys R' Us to look for a bike. He said he saw this Slip 'n Slide as soon as he walked in the door, grabbed it, and walked right back out. He and Caden had a water fight, complete with "forts".....I love how they play together! 


Caden has gone potty in the toilet several times, but we have some really busy weekends coming up so we are holding off on the official potty training until the end of Oct:)


The dune buggy that Justin got him after going pee. Once! Justin actually just really wanted to get this for Caden and used the pee as an excuse:) 



Great Grandpa Verschoor came over for lunch one last time before heading back to Texas for the winter. The kids just adore him!


These two are SO incredibly sweet together! Andie is a tough cookie thanks to her big brother!


Taking sissy for a ride!


Teaming up to make a mess!


Little miss Andie is get faster each day! We used to joke because she would crawl a little, then sit up and look around....not anymore! This girl is quick. And she is now pulling up and walking along furniture. Our once snuggler is now independent and wants to go explore! She still doesn't have any teeth, but you can see the tops on the bottom two starting to erupt. Andie eats everything and lots of it! Justin's pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, and any fruit you can think of are her favorites right now.

Both kids love to crawl under the end table and behind the couch in the family room....Caden told me it was their "secret fort":) 


We had the Winter's over for a fiesta!


And Andie gobbled up Daddy's guac!!!


Hanging at the splash pad with Ethan:)






She is into EVERYTHING!


Andie and Great Grandpa!


She was giving Great Grandpa the biggest smiles as they took turns tapping their hands on the couch:)
