Brevard Zoo

Today Adam took the day off and we went to the Brevard Zoo.  It was a lot of fun!
I had a lot of fun playing with my camera.  All of these shots are actually NOT on automatic.  I'm learning!
This is a Roseate Spoonbill pruning.
Andrew was so HAPPY to be with his daddy (and me) at the zoo.
Andrew and Daddy looking for the otters.
Pretty, albeit crazy, birds.  If you hold a cup of nectar they flock to you and perch on every square inch of your arm.

Hello, Pretty bird!  I loved that you could get so close to them!  I have some shots of him very close up!
Andrew is dressed up as a sea turtle.  The best part of the Brevard Zoo is the kids area with tons of activities.  Here he is on his way to search for turtle eggs.
Saving the best for last, Andrew loved wading and splashing in the water.  By the end of all this he was worn out and slept from 2-5:30!!!  We need to do this more often.

Andrew's First minor league baseball game

Saturday we went to the Mets Minor League game.  We had a lot of fun.  Adam strongly dislikes the Mets, so cheered rather loudly for the opposing team.  Andrew had a blast.  At the end we saw a great firework show.  Andrew loved it and kept saying, "BOOM BOOM!!!"

A new hiding place

While Adam was working in the kitchen, he called me in and said that Andrew had reached a new level.  I doubted it was anything new, but after Adam insisted for me to come, I did. 

Andrew had thrown all of the plastic dishes out of their cabinet, which he does quite often.  However this time it was with the intent to climb in the cabinet and close the door. 

What a funny little guy!

First Fish

For Andrew's birthday Adam got him a real fishing pole.  Adam has been talking about getting him a fishing pole since before he was born, so it was no surprise when he came home with a REAL fishing pole.  Andrew has asked to go fishing a lot.  Finally we were able to take him to a small pond on Saturday.  I know that this is just the beginning of these guys finding places to hang out and go fishing.  I am thankful for a husband who loves the outdoors and wants to spend time teaching his children life lessons through the time he can spend with them doing things like fishing.   Here is the first outing.

Here are my boys heading to the small pond in hopes that Andrew can catch his first fish!

Fish on!


Adam is one proud Pappa and Andrew seems to like fishing!
SUCCESS!

Big Man on the Playground

This week Andrew has been super sweet.  It's a good thing, because I have been super tired and have hit a wall when it comes to all of my husband's travel.  Usually we find our way to a park at some point in our day.  Here are a few pictures.  He's such a big guy now.

I'm OUTTA' HERE!

Fridge

Andrew gets into everything. When he wants a snack he takes it upon himself to check in the fridge. I've been meaning to get a lock, but here's how I found him today.

Two years old.


My little light
You shine so bright in the darkest night
the joy you give radiates from above
as He has given the greatest of gifts
and blessed me with your pure love.

An innocent smile
springs forth from cheek to cheek 
while curious eyes seek to discover
all that flies above and crawls down below
you will leave no hidden rock uncovered.

My growing boy
with whom I can barely keep pace
I love to  remember your first two years
of firsts steps, foods, falls, words, and smiles
and welcome your boyhood with fond tears

Two years old
my baby has become a young boy
I love you, my son, don't ever forget it
there's more to explore and fun to be had
The journey continues and I won't miss a minute
