Andie rides her bike by herself for the first time!

A few days ago, Andie so preciously pulled her Daddy aside and asked him to take her training wheels off her bike. I was away at a CMA fest concert with my friend Sara, AKA SAYra. He sent me a detailed text explaining how she pulled him away from the crowd of neighbors to let him know she was ready for this big adventure. It made me cry sitting right there in the middle of LP field.
We practiced for 3 days or so. Today, this morning, she practiced for just a minute and before we knew it she was peddling away without me! She even "started off" by herself a few times. She is so determined and really listens very well to instruction! These two mixed together makes for success for our little bike rider!

Disclaimer** The Waylon Cam WILL cause nausea but it's very cute from his point of view!

Andie's big dance recital!

Andie's dance recital was fantastic! She loved wearing make up and dressing up like a princess. I admit that the day of the show I felt a little like a Toddlers and Tiara's kind of mom. "Don't mess up your make up, leave your hair alone, you got mascara on your nose, no let me put on your lipstick, etc." I was a little upset with myself because all in all it really wasn't a big deal. However, after talking to the other moms, I wasn't the only one that acted like a nut!

Andie was a little nervous at first but soon fell right into her normal star of the show self. She loved being on stage and enjoyed having Pops, Grandmother, Aunt Tab, Granny, Waylon, Justin, and Me watching her! Although she didn't like her pink rose after the show, she did proclaim that she wanted a toy for her surprise next time.
