1,2,3.....go!!!!

Tonight we drove out to Hillsboro to meet with the Bailey's for dinner. Tiffany just moved into a house out there, so we we went to check it out. It's about a 30 minute drive from our house. On the way out there Andrew was being pretty vocal so we decided to sing songs to pass the time. We sang the ABC's, Row Row Row Your Boat, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and his favorite, Zacchaeus You Come Down! He laughs so hard when we say Zacchaeus, you come down :) We would sing a song and then at the end of the song he'd clap, say yea! and then say again. So we sang each song multiple times! He really loves music :) We had a fun time with the family and Tiff's house is very nice. On our way back, we decided to pass the time by counting to 10. Nate and I would first do the counting then we'd tell Andrew that it was his turn. The first time he counted all the way to 6! We were so proud of him. We clapped and cheered and he was so proud of himself that he clapped and said yea! Normally when Andrew counts he says 1, 2, 3....go! We've been working with him to try and count to 5. We count the stairs every time he goes up and down them and try to count different things as we go about our day. So Nathan and I counted to 10 again and then told him it was his turn. He then counted to 8! We were even more excited and he thought it was so fun and funny....he was laughing and clapping. It was so cute :) We told him to try it again, but by that time he had lost interest and started talking about other things like cars, Ampa (that's what he calls Grandpa), boat, and many other random words. But we can now say that our little boy, who's not even 2, can count to 8! We are such proud parents!
