Like him, life has been nonstop since. Rebecca and I thought life with number two would be a lot like life with number one. I guess you just figure you combine to make a certain kind of kid. Turns out there are lots of possible combinations.
Andrew makes me laugh out loud. He loves to dance, laugh, cuddle, and play. Sometimes all at the same time. He hasn't found his rhythm, but he has found his joy.
When he wants to sleep he slams his head down wherever he is. Sometimes that is a warm shoulder, sometimes a hardwood floor. I'm still not sure which he prefers.
He doesn't climb around, he climbs over and through. He doesn't giggle, he bellows. He doesn't smile, he beams. He is a literal bundle of joy.
On Joshua's birthday I wrote that it is fun to watch somebody go toe to toe with Rebecca and come out on top. Now Joshua has his own toe to toe partner. I am amazed to watch a one year old who already knows how to rattle his brother's cage.
I'm thankful to be his daddy. I'm thankful God has given us this delightful little man. I love him with all I've got and somehow that capacity keeps growing.
Drewber, happy birthday. I'm thankful you're mine.
Oh, yeah. I also love how much he looks like my favorite monkey.

The Curious George resemblence is right on. :) Andrew is a sweetheart and Seth is especially happy to have a buddy his size. Happy Birthday to Andrew!!!
I've heard you say it before, but he really does look like Curious George! He is such a little sweetheart. I loved what you wrote about Andrew already knowing how to rattle big brother. It is so funny to watch them interact.
