On Mother's Day, Andrew Bear took his first steps...and while I took some joy in his reaching this milestone, as a seasoned mother, I mostly just groaned. And oh my goodness, how right I was!! With his newfound freedom, AB can now keep up with his sister and get into trouble I never even knew was possible. In comparison to Samantha, AB is BUSY! He never tires and is absolutely never still. He hides, he climbs, he destroys and he can empty a cabinet in half a second.Example: I put him down in the kitchen to pull dinner out of the oven...When I placed dinner on the counter and looked out the window I saw Andrew trying to climb over the deck rail via the kiddie picnic table. When I ran outside, he turned and waved, then continued in his quest for escape. I grabbed the camera, snapped a shot, and brought him inside....FLAILING. Lovely.
Andrew definitely keeps me on his toes...but more than that, he keeps Samantha on hers! SJ is orderly and she likes/needs her own quiet time...alone. AB destroys both of those things at all costs.
Despite their differences, AB and SJ are, thankfully, the best of friends...add Pongo to the mix and the brotherly/sisterly/caninely love can get out of hand!
Most importantly, that little (but not really so little) bulldozer is still the sweetest baby boy his mama could ask for!!!
