Andrew and Matthew

Well, yesterday was a great day! The weather was nice and we played outside all day. I had Matthew bundled pretty good, but it really wasn't that cold. Andrew rode his bike, ran a lap around the block (pushing his brother in the stroller--scary) and played on the swingset. I want spring to get here!!!!! Today, we are expecting 10 inches of snow and we have a "winter storm" warning. I tell ya, Kentucky weather is a little goofy!!! One day it feels like spring, the next day it is snowing like crazy! Anyways, we enjoyed the weather while we could. I think Tuesday it will be in the 50's again so we can get out in a few days!

How cute is this picture??????? Andrew loves to climb, here he is at the top of his rope ladder!

Andrew and Matthew swinging. Matthew normally grabs the wood next to him, leans over and chews on the side of the playset. Yum!

My sweet Andrew......

Andrew and Matthew wrestling... it didn't take long for Matthew to join in the wresting with daddy and Andrew. Now, the boys rough house quite frequently!!!!

More Pictures

Here are some more pictures of the boys! Everyone is doing great!!! Andrew is talking more and more everyday. He will now attempt to say pretty much anything you ask him to. He is hard to understand still, but what kid isn't????? We have the best speech therapist in the world and he has made incredible progress with her! He is amazing me with his ability to learn and write numbers, letters, words, pictures.... this kid is so smart!!!!!! If the worst thing I have to deal with in his lifetime is his apraxia, then I will consider myself lucky :) His Thomas room is almost finished (waiting on the curtains from Grandma) and he loves it!!!! He is a very smart, fun and active little boy. Matthew is still as crazy as ever.... what can I say... Andrew will be the Harvard grad and Matthew will be a professional party animal :)

I am not sure if I have put this picture on here yet. Anyways, it is cute so I am adding it. Matthew is so happy, but doesn't he just look like he could get into trouble???? I have a feeling this kid is going to be the life of the party :)
Well, to say it lightly, Matthew is quite active. This is Matthew stuck under the table (yes, he is crying because he doesn't know how to get out!)

This is Matthew stuck under the picnic table. And, yes, he is crying again because he can't get out!

Andrew and Matthew with their matching hats :)

Andrew and Matthew waiting for Papaw to come over...

Well, if anyone ever doubted that Matthew was a Fischer, here is the proof!!!!! Check out those curls. If the fro continues, we will be going for a buzz this summer. I must say the wild hair does fit his personality!!!!!! Wet hair on Matthew means a lot of curls!!!!!

Andrew and Matthew in Matthew's crib. When Matthew wakes up, Drew likes to get in the crib with him.











This picture is so cute! Matthew is getting so big! He loves to climb up on the window and see what is going on outside :)



















Well, we had our first "big" snow (big for Kentucky). Andrew had so much fun playing in the snow... he even played outside by himself when I couldn't go out with him. I had him bundled pretty good, and he looked so cute in his winter clothes.












Andrew loves the snow! He will be so sad when it melts away!

Andrew

Here is the video with the letters... it wouldn't let me put it on the last post.

Andrew

Andrew has really been taking an interest in his letters and wanting to write them, so we have been practicing with him. The video with the letters is not the best (you can't see the marker on the board) but you can see him make the lines and know that he is making the letters. I am so impressed with his abilities!!!!! Also, today we were playing and I told him to draw a smiley face. He did it... and the process that he does is so interesting (keep in mind...not quite 3 yet!!!!) I am impressed with his motor skills :) The face that he draws is completely on his own-- I did not teach him how to do that. I didn't even know if he could do it when I told him to try.

So Big!

Matthew will do "So Big" now when you ask him, "How big is baby Matthew?" It is cute. He is such a happy boy :)

Matthew

Matthew is changing daily! I cannot believe all of the things he is doing and how busy he is becoming! He now pulls up on things, and pretty much refuses to sit. He always wants to stand and cruise down the couch! This is a bad habit for nap time. We used to be able to put him down in his crib and walk out... he would cry for a few minutes and go to sleep. Well, now that he can stand, as soon as you lay him down, he pops right up and stands there and screams. It is awful! I am hoping this is just a phase. He will crawl on all 4's for a few steps, but he still prefers to army crawl. He is eating great, taking a bottle great and overall, just growing and changing in so many wonderful ways!!!! He is starting to feel more like a boy and less like a baby. Some other cool things he is doing.... clapping (I already put that on here) but also waving!!!! When you say, "Hi, May-May" he will wave at you!!!!! It is so cute. I will try to get it on tape.
