She's 1 Today!

Today is Andi's birthday, and in honor of that, here is her short life through pictures along with several things we have learned about her in the past year. 

1. Andi is curious. Virtually every openable cabinet, drawer, door, etc. now has a safety latch on it because of her innate wonder at anything she hasn't seen before. 
2. Andi is smart... maybe a little too smart. For example, she has known her signs for words like "please" and "thank you" for months, and yet has refused to use them on occasions. Instead, she will close her mouth and look at you as if testing your will. Sometimes she wins. 
3. Andi loves her brother. She can't help but laugh when he's around, and has a special way of smiling that only Joshua gets. 
4. She loves to be with people. Sometimes this is a little annoying. Most of the time it's sweet. But regardless, she does not appreciate alone time, almost as if she knows she will have more fun if she can share it with someone else. 
5. Andi is adventurous. Even now she has a huge bruise across her forehead. Her need to gamble with life and limb might get a little more disturbing over the years, but for now, we'll take it as a spirit of imagination. And that's cool. 



Happy Birthday, Dandy Andi.
