Andria has been developing some new Summertime favorites. She looooves popsicles. We found some tiny ones that melt slowly and it takes her about 15 minutes to eat one, but she's happy to sit there and lick away at it. She loves her little outdoor chair. She also loves to swing on the swing set. She gets mad when we take her out of the baby seat, even if she is falling asleep. And she doesn't care how hot it is outside, she asks to swing every time we go in the back yard. Andria loves to wear dresses. I have had fun dressing her in all of the fun Summer dresses that have been made for her by her Aunt, her Grandma, and me.
Andria loves going to Nursery at church, as long as her daddy takes her. If I take her then she cries and cries to stay with me. So I pretty much never take her, since she needs to learn to play without sitting on my lap the whole time. Instead, she sits on the Nursery leader's laps the whole time she is in there while she plays with different toys. She's quite cuddly girl.
Andria loves her big brother. She likes to go in and wake Jacob up in the morning. If she ever disappears during the day we know that the first place we should look for her is in his room. For some reason Jacob's things are more interesting than her toys. They play together so well and she has a special laugh just for him. He is very good about watching out for her and he loves to help us with whatever she needs. He never complains about helping her, which is awesome. They are pretty silly together.
Andria has been talking a lot more lately. She says a lot of short sentences, mostly starting with "I want". Like; "I want to sit" and "I want some". She also asks for her babies and her blanket and all sorts of other things. She's talking more clearly now and she has the cutest little voice. She is also a very loud little girl. We joke that she's trying to make up for her tiny size (she's still in the 5th to 10th percentiles). She and Jacob like to see who can be louder and one of the funnest games for them is for Jacob to tell her to scream and then she does and then they both laugh.
