A Day in the Life of Andre

I'm sure you all are wondering just what

exactly does a 5 month old do all day??



I give you: A Day in the Life of Andre Clark!

Upon waking, Andre likes to enjoy his morning bottle while watching his Frog in HD (thats High Definition for those of you who aren't digitally savvy) The plot is kind of slow, but the ending always leaves you in suspense: What ever happens to that darn fly?!







Next, Andre like to engage in some vigorous activity in his Excersaucer. Sometimes the terrain can be rugged-which explains the hiking shoes, and the hat is in case of inclement weather.

















After he's "pooped", literally and figuratively, its time for a nap in his bouncy seat. He likes to sleep with his frog over his face for some reason. His pants are unbuttoned because mom though they were too tight on his little belly* (*see muffin top spilling over the edges). Is that why Auntie Amy calls him "muffin"?

Following naptime, its off to piano lessons at Nanny's. There's nothing like tickling the old ivorys to get you in a good mood!

"Here's a little song I wrote-You might want to sing it note for note-Don't worry!....Be Happy!"

"Everybody Now!"

Back at home, its time to help out with the household chores. Its laundry day at the Clark's! Wait a minute- are the lights mixed in with the darks?

Geez.

Tummy time is always an adventure. If he looks a little spooked its because Andre thought those were monster eyes in the closet behind him. Turns out it was the reflection of his mom's running shoes. That was a close one!

He immediately had to go out and tell Canaan about the false alarm monster story. They can't talk yet but it was clearly written all over her face, "Are you SERIOUS Clark?".

Canaan was impressed, AND slightly embarassed that they had worn the same hat. What do you expect when their mommies shop together?

Time to go home and get ready for bathtime. Bathtime has always been Andre's favorite time of the day. Maybe because he likes being naked, maybe because it always takes a while for mom to get inbetween all the rolls, or maybe because his buoyancy makes him fearless in water! Anyway-he loves bathtime!

Now squeaky clean, Andre settles down for Monday Night Football with the boys! Romeo has his bone, Dad has his pit-pillow and Andre is proudly wearing his Falcons outfit that daddy bought him.

What a Day! :)

Halloween!

TRICK OR TREAT!!!

For my first Halloween I was (drum roll please) The Incredible Hulk! I looked pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Don't let the smile fool you...my brow is definitely furrowed (and green).

My mom and dad were so proud of their little Hulk!

The socks did not come with my costume, but seriously-when was I ever going to wear them??

After some creative costume alterations from Dad (he's quite clever with scissors) I was ready to go Trick or Treatin' with my future wife and in-laws

I told Canaan my peanut girlfriend to meet me in the middle of the street to go Trick or Treatin'. I know its dangerous to park our strollers in the street, but thats how we "roll". She wore an orange bow on her peanut head to make sure I didn't confuse her with other passerby peanuts.

We stopped by our friend Caroline's house. The three of us were born within a week of eachother! She was tearing into her candy already but I was having difficulty getting the wrapper off my fun-size snickers. Oh-are we taking a picture?

Yeah! What a great first Halloween! Our moms are beaming with pride-what a "treat" to show off their adorable babies in costume. Our dads are glazed over from the whiskey that was apparently necessary to make it through an infant halloween. Canaan is staring at me with those big eyes wishing I would share my snickers that I finally unwrapped..is it too late to tell her about my peanut allergy??

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
