Andrew meets Toy Story

Andrew's Aunt Dejah introduced him to Woody and Buzz. He likes Woody more.

The Stuarts get a new toy...and it's a fun toy.

For the past year or so we've encouraged those who would like to give us Christmas or birthday gifts to donate money to a cause near and dear to us. The purchase of a new DSLR Canon Rebel camera. Shortly after Christmas we were about to open a savings account to separate out those funds. When discussing how much money had been donated to the cause we were surprised by how much it actually added up to.  I had recently looked up the current balance of our cash rewards credit care; it was also higher than we expected.

The end result of the two higher than expected values? 

Yep. A Canon Rebel T3 with a 18-55 and a 55-250 mm lenses. Heavenly; is all I can say.

Bouncing

Andrew has a bouncer. He enjoys it.

Elevating Up.

Andrew has been practicing getting up onto his knees. Today he managed to stay up. He actually stayed up on his hands and knees for around 30 seconds. I just didn't have the iPad immediately accessible.

Temple Square Lights

We introduced Andrew to Christmas lights at temple square.

Book Worm

Wendy has an addiction to library books. It's not a bad addiction to have but it does mean that we need to have a convenient area to keep the twenty or so books that she checks out every week or so. Our current strategy is to keep the books in a wicker basket next to the recliner.

Andrew discovered this basket.

He couldn't quite pull the books out of the basket; he couldn't get a good enough grasp on them.

Fun at the Aunt's House

I've spent the past week spending 8 hours a day in a Kaplan review course for the NCLEX.  Dejah (Wendy's sister-in-law) has been nice enough to take care of Andrew during this time.  It became obvious through photographic proof that Andrew had a lot of fun at his Aunt's house today.
