Andrew's Favorite Activities

Andrew is so clever and adorable! He is getting really good at manipulating objects with his hands and gets bigger and stronger every day. Picture #1. Andrew tried out his Johnny Jump Up for the first time recently. He seems to like bopping around in it but can't quite seem to get the hang of jumping. #2. Andrew usually sits in his Bumbo seat while we eat dinner so I got him a toy to keep him occupied. #3. Andrew practicing tummy time. He will only tolerate being on his tummy for a few minutes so we do a little bit of tummy time several times a day. #4&5. Andrew and Mommy like to play outside together every day.

Four months old!

Its hard to believe Andrew is four months old already! He has changed so much and we love him more every day. I can't seem to figure out how to write captions under the photos without messing up the whole post so I'll just number them so you can know what each photo is about.
1. Andrew loves looking at himself in the mirror! He was on his activity mat by himself one day and when I walked in the room he had rolled over on his side and was staring intently at the mirror. Sometimes we'll stand in front of the mirror in the bathroom and Andrew will smile and talk to his reflection.
2. Andrew has been trying out his exersaucer for a few minutes every day. He likes to reach out for the toys and has started to figure out how to manipulate them
3. Andrew loves being outside! In this picture he is squealing in delight.
4. Another picture of Andrew in his exersaucer.
5. A close up of those beautiful eyes! People always comment on how bright eyed he is. Andrew loves to look around at everything! Sometimes this keeps him from sleeping or nursing. I've asked Dave not to talk to me when I'm nursing because it makes Andrew pop his little head up to look for Daddy. I think he would rather play with Daddy than eat! He is turning into a little Daddy's boy with lots of smiles and squealing when Dave gets home from work.

Happy Camper

Andrew has been giving us no end of joy with all his smiles, laughing and talking. He is getting to be an easy going baby and has even agreed to take a nap in his swing. Here he is reading a book, hanging out with Daddy, on a cook out with friends and relaxing on the porch (where he loves to watch the ceiling fan). Our get togethers with friends have changed significantly in the past few years since there are now 5 kids ages 2 and under in our group.

Summertime

We've been taking Drew to lots of cottages lately and he's enjoyed getting to know many of his relatives. Here he is with Grandma, playing with Daddy, talking to Uncle Ryan and reading a book with Opa.

3 months old

Andrew is three months old already! He's been vocalizing a lot more lately and has even startled himself with some loud squeals. He is starting to fall into a predictable pattern and we've been working on taking naps in his swing instead of being held all the time. I've included a picture of Andrew's first boat ride on cousin Sandy's boat. Andrew loves being outside, just like Daddy!

New Andrew Pix!





Its been awhile since I posted but we've been busy moving into our new home! Andrew gets bigger every day and probably weighs about 13 pounds. Unfortunately he is no longer sleeping through the night and is back to getting up every 2-3 hours! We're hoping its just a phase.

World's Cutest Baby Ever





Andrew is two months old and we are excited to see how much he will weigh at his Well Child Check tomorrow. We've started reading books with him every night and he loves to look at the pictures.
