Andrew Jace Caudle was born on Thursday October 10, 2002 at 11:47am. He weighed 6lbs and 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is now five year old and weighs 38 lbs and is 41 inches tall. I don't know where the time has gone, but it has been fun and busy with my little boy.
Here are some things I love most about Andrew:
1) He is full of enthusiasm! He wakes up going full speed ahead and always in a good mood (when he wakes on his own... not so much on school days) He has lots of energy. He hasn't napped in years and could probably stay up long after the rest of us have crashed. No caffeine for this kid please!
2) He is smart and very clever! He keeps me on my toes. He is quick to point out any inconsistencies and is ready with a valid argument (for any issue) should the need arise.
3) He is extremely coordinated! It is always a blast to watch him ride his bike, skateboard or scooter. In the Spring, he taught himself how to roller skate in just a few laps around the rink and was trying and accomplishing tricks that the bigger kids were doing. He also learned how to jump rope when he was only 4 by watching Taylor.
4) He is very persistent! Once he gets started with something or gets an idea it is very hard to get him untracked. This is good and bad from a parent's perspective, but will serve him as he grows and matures.
5) He is fun to hang out with! He is always ready for an adventure. Going to Sam's Club in search of samples, watching movies, going for rides or to the mall. He is a good little friend and I will miss him when he goes to Kindergarten next fall.
Andrew says lots of funny things. Here are just a few:
"Whoa, you smell great!" said to Taylor after her bath
"It's freakin' cold!" said just yesterday morning (this required a little reprimand from Marc)
"I don't ever want to be baptized! I don't want to die!" said several times...we are still working on convincing him that he won't die if he's baptized and that "they" don't have to revive you after being dunked.
"You can name them this" said to Taylor during a discussion of the names of her future children. He was pointing at his bottom.
He is fascinated with guns right now. He told me all the places on his body he could get shot and not die.
He is such a blessing and we love him so very much! God has been good to us! I can't wait to see what the next five years hold!
