Nine months old!

Andie continues to enjoy her new backpack. She took a spin in it with Olivia on Monday.




And Papa got to try it out on Tuesday.




Jason went to Catalina Island earlier this week for a conference. Andie got so excited about video chatting with him on Monday night that she dove face first into the edge of the coffee table, resulting in her first fat lip.



She got over it pretty quickly though. Especially once Jason got home and they got to play with each other!






Today we took a nice walk in a nearby redwood grove with Nana, Papa, and Hawkeye.






Other fun activities from the week included a dinner date with Aunt Ellie, a visit from Andie's doula, a visit from Henry and Nancy, and a festive holiday party at a neighbor's house. It was a big week! To top it all off, Andie turned 9 months old today!











Andie continues to impress us every day. She has recently discovered how to point, and her favorite things to point at are her puppy and light fixtures. Kristin was having fun showing her how to turn light switches on and off until Jason pointed out that she can reach the one above her crib. Oops. Maybe she won't notice...

Deck reconstruction

The deck attached to the Herilino Annex was rotting away, so Uncle Chuck visited again to help give it an overhaul. Uncle Joe and cousin Karen generously helped out, and baby Andie even chipped in! Making a plan Demo nearly completed Adding new boards Finishing up the new railing Breaking for beer and strawberries More demo-ing Kristin and Andie were a little scared for Uncle Joe up there on those narrow old boards! Turning a deck into a roof Andie even helped to finish it all off! Ha, just kidding!  That's Jason's Cabbage Patch doll up there. Did you really think Jason would carry the baby on the roof? Sheesh, what kind of parents do you think Kristin and Jason are? Jason and Elden This post was created especially for Nana and Grandma Jane. Our apologies for any adverse health effects it may have triggered.

Changes

There have been a lot of changes over the past six weeks in the Herilino household. Perhaps the biggest is that Nani and Papa moved out! We were so happy to take them in after the fire, and we are even happier that they have found a new place of their own to call home (especially because it isn't in Iowa). They are again just a short drive away in Santa Rosa, and they even promised to still babysit one day a week. Nani and Papa really enjoyed spreading out after being relegated to such tight quarters at the Herilino house. Although they didn't have too much stuff to move, Andie helped them unpack some of their new things. She liked how the packing material stuck to their clean windows. They don't have much in the way of furniture yet either, but Nani and Papa made sure Andie felt comfortable by stocking their house with new toys, a kid's table, and a potty seat. We are already having lots of fun hanging out there. Andie loved trying ou...

Pizza & ready to crawl

Andie added pizza to her list of foods yesterday, doing right by her New York family heritage. Kristin spent her first night away from Andie last night to throw a bachelorette party for Auntie Ellie. Everyone survived! Andie seems to be pretty close to crawling these days, making Kristin and Jason wonder if they're going to have to dedicate some time to better baby-proofing soon.
