Dance, Dance, Dance!

We caught this adorable video at Gracie's dance class when we were up North. Charlee is the only one without a tutu as she decided to join the class last minute. At the end of the video Charlee and Gracie give each other a cute hug...and kinda bonk heads. So fun!

Happy Halloween with the Marshalls!

We had a wonderful Halloween weekend with Anya and Pops and the Marshalls. Gracie and Charlee played and played and the weekend was topped off by a fabulous Halloween night. Charlee was a chick coming out of an egg, Norm was a big chicken and Gracie was Tigger. Jenny and I went as pregnant ladies :o) We had 497 trick-or-treaters in their neighborhood...it was a busy night! The girls went to about 20 houses and were very brave, even around the scary ones. Charlee would put her hand out and say "Peas" and then she would take the candy, put it in her bucket and say "bye bye!" as she left. After trick-or-treating we set up a bench in front of the house and the girls LOVED passing out candy and seeing all of the kids. We also got a special visit from honorary grandma Cindy. She brought the girls the most adorable "Big Sister" outfits...pictures will come soon. Save for the lack of sleep, it was a perfect weekend.The bellies- me 24 weeks, Jenny 18 weeks

I just love this picture of my little chicken

We carved pumpkins on Saturday and here was the Winnie the Pooh one I carved

Gracie was by far the cutest Tigger!

The big chicken chasing the little chicken...Norm has the best Halloween spirit!

Sweet girl

Chicken feet!

Norm grew a ridiculous beard so he could be a bearded chicken...it was pretty funny and at least he shaved it later that night!

Fun in a fountain and the park

We had a great weekend spending quality family time. Charlee is becoming such a little ham and seems more and more active every day. Water continues to be her favorite things and we have found a fountain oasis at the Irvine Spectrum...there is a video below. I am now 23 weeks pregnant and can't believe our little boy will be here before we know it!

So coy!

Runnin' through the fountain

Hello Mommy!

I love running in the park!

Still for a brief moment

Exciting News!

We are so thrilled to announce that Gracie is also going to be a big sister and Charlee is getting a new cousin! My sister Jenny is due just 6 weeks behind me on April 1, 2010!!! The Andrews family will have two new additions in 2010...how fun!

Pumpkin Patch 2009!

We had a great time at Pumpkin City (where Aunt Jenny worked when she was in high school) with Anya and Pops and the Pollards. Charlee loved looking at all of the pumpkins, animals and activities. It is hard to believe that last year at this time she was just a little baby...my how time flies! We then had a scrumptious dinner at In-N-Out...thanks Anya and Pops!!

22 weeks and getting big!

18 month check up!

We had Charlee's 18 month checkup this morning and she did great. She is 25 lbs (50th percentile) and 33 inches tall (90th percentile). Long and lean as the Dr. says. Unfortunately she had an ear infection which made us feel like terrible parents for not being able to tell but we were thankful of her timely appointment so we could take care of it.

The doctor also said that her communication is advanced for her age (not a shocker given the Andrews/Harmon jeans in her) and that she will probably be between 5'9" and 6'0" when she grows up...we will see!

She had a few shots but gave the nurse a hug afterward...what a love. When Norm waited for her prescription she "hammed" it up for everyone in the waiting room. We are so thrilled to have such a precious child.

Getting ready for Halloween!

The weather has officially turned and we are getting ready for Halloween! This year we are going to head up to San Jose to see the Marshall fam. You can see from the pics Charlee is practicing carrying as many pumpkins as possible...she is sure to get a lot of candy that way! Thanks Aunt Deb for letting Charlee play with your crafting project :)
