in, out, up, down.
UP is better than DOWN. Andrew has entered his "clingy" phase, and does not like me to put him down. He's fine when I'm out of sight.... but if I enter the room, he wants "UP UP UP!"
And of course, IN is much better than out. And Andrew does love to be IN things! No matter how big or small.
Whether it's a plastic basket half his size:
or an empty box rescued by the kids from the garbage:
when he's IN something, he will sit and play quietly for a very long time.
And when he's done being IN,
Big Sister will help him get OUT,
and, sometimes, try it out herself.

Evyn's surprise
Evyn is spending the weekend with her cousin Emily, and Grandma and Grandpa B, at the B's cabin in Centre County. While she was gone we put together a little surprise for her:
Her very own fairy garden!
We've been talking about making a fairy garden, and Evyn was full of idea of things we should add to attract fairies to our yard.
It's not finished yet - Scott and Evyn will be painting a welcome sign, and I have a fairy door being shipped to me from a craftsman in Canada, which will go on the tree trunk. But you get the idea. The fairies have a gazing ball, mushrooms, a pet frog, potted oxalis (fingers crossed that it won't seed!), a windchime, a sitting area, and even a working gate on the front.
I hope she likes it!

12 month checkup
Last week Andrew went to see the doctor for a checkup and the latest round of immunizations. His 12-month stats:
19# - yep, he lost a pound! Don't worry, though, he's already gained it back. We were out of yogurt and avocados for a while, but now he's back on his high-calorie diet.
29" tall, head circumference was 17.99"- which is 29th percentile. Evyn's head was always 90th percentile, and she was 75th or above in height and weight.... we have two very different kids, in so many ways!
Oh, and he has 7 teeth. Not 8, just 7. They usually come in pairs.... but not for Andrew!
Speaking of teeth - Evyn is still shark-toothed. Both bottom teeth are in, her baby teeth are getting wigglier, and the Tooth Fairy is on-call for a visit to our house!
