One smart cookie

Not only is Andrew one smart cookie but he is seriously one humorous little boy! He makes me laugh all of the time with his candid observations and cute stories.

Earlier this week we bought Pediasure strawberry shakes at the grocery store because I had a coupon that made them basically free. When Andrew saw the 4 pack containers he knew it was something special and different (they are in the same type of containers that Starbucks Iced Coffee is sold in). The first thing he asked was if the shakes were for him. Take in mind, Andrew had never seen these shakes before. Once I answered in the affirmative he proceeded to take them out of their packaging and he immediately asked me if he could have one. I explained that they needed to be REALLY cold before he could have one, so we put them in the refrigerator. Later that night after Andrew was in bed we were putting groceries away and organizing the refrigerator and we could only find 3 of the 4 shakes .... hmmmm. We figured that Andrew must have left one out somewhere, but since they are not perishable we didn't think anymore about it. The next day when we got home after work Andrew ran to the freezer and took out the missing shake and said, "Look, it's REALLY cold now!" What a smart cookie!

We have had a nice laid back weekend. Friday night we went out for dinner and drinks to see our friends Paige and Mikey and to help celebrate Paige's birthday. We had a great time and got to meet some of Paige's co-workers and their spouses. Saturday we hung around the house most of the day. I took some photos of the boys for Father's Day and did a little work in photoshop on the annual Daddy collage. Doug and I joke about how he is going to be so surprised at his card! :) In all seriousness, he knows he is getting daddy pictures, he just doesn't know how I am going to put it together this year. I will post the final product next week. After Andrew's nap we ran some errands and came back to the house to watch a movie and make pizza. Andrew actually ate 2 small slices of pizza - a first for him! When the credits started rolling, Andrew said, "Time for night night!" Doug and I just looked at each other in total disbelief. Normally Andrew is trying to get out of going to bed! So we put both of the boys to bed and cuddled up on the couch to watch the movie The Guardian (coast guard movie starring Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner). I actually stayed awake for the entire flick -- we thought it was a pretty good movie, if not a little predictable. It was a great evening!

After my walk with my mom this morning I made smoothies (my new specialty) and then if was off to run more errands, including a trip to the bike shop to test out a new Trek big boy bike for Andrew (check out this cool bike: http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/bike.php?bikeid=1572000&f=36 ). We wanted to be sure that he was tall enough for the bike before buying it for him for his birthday. It was a great fit so it looks like Andrew has a big boy bike with training wheels in his future!

Tyler is doing great ... he is getting bigger and stronger every day. He has the sweetest smile with the cutest dimples and he is just a happy little guy. He is trying to roll over now too ... he goes in for his 4 month check up in another week, so we may get to report a new development!
