My little Andrew!

I don't think I can come on and post anything without having to talk about my sweet little boy! He is growing up so fast! It seems like everytime I turn around he is doing something new! He started clapping the other day. We have been trying to get him to clap since he first gave high fives (it was a long time ago - I don't even remember when!). We are now working on blowing kisses. Hopefully he'll have that down by the Elburn Days parade. How cute would that be!? He's quite the little walker now. He does the cutest thing where while he's walking he'll stop and bend at the waist and put his head on the floor so he is looking through his legs (his butt is still in the air!) He thinks it's hilarious if you peek through to look at him while he's upside down. He has been cracking me up lately - he'll be in the back seat "talking" (I wonder when everything won't be dada!) then all of a sudden he will start laughing so hard. It is the funniest thing! He has also started dancing! His favorite songs to dance to are "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Reggae & Prince. Yep, that's right - Reggae & Prince! We were coming out of Sam's the other day and someone had some Reggae playing and while I was putting the stuff in the car he totally turned to where the music was playing and danced the whole time! And Prince - well, we were at a car show last weekend, and someone started playing a Prince song, and the little guy was dancing so hard I thought he was going to fall over! My friend Katie's son Siven started dancing at around 11 months, so I knew he was in the age range to start, so I've been anxiously awating it! The last few mornings he has woken up very early (5-5:30ish). We have a 6:30 rule where he can't get out of bed until then unless he's really upset. So, he'll wake up early talking a little, then before we know it he's back to sleep, and yesterday he slept until 7:45. Today it's already 7:30 and I'm not hearing a sound out of him. Could it be that we'll actually be able to start getting a little more sleep? I'm taking bets that the little stinker is going to stop this when I'm actually home with him and not up early to get ready for work! Any takers? I haven't downloaded any pictures to my computer lately, so I have none to upload on the blog, but I will. Well, that's all for now. We're heading up to the lake this weekend, and hopefully will escape without any Chicken-Poxish rashes!
