Andrew's big weekend (part 2)

Andrew is in the middle of yet another major growth spurt (maybe traveling makes him hungry!) plus he is sooo interested in everyone's food, so we decided to let him try cereal this morning! He wasn't sure what to do with the first bite but after we gave him some of his bottle and tried again he decided he loved eating from a spoon! He already wants to grab the spoon and do it himself. :) He's such a cutie!

Andrew's big weekend (part 1)

Andrew has been so busy this weekend! He went to Nashville to see his Granny and go to his cousin Ashley's graduation from high school on Monday night. He went to Ashley's house on Saturday and got to play on the slide (of course, Mommy & Daddy held his hands the whole way down) and be with lots of people. We hung out with Chris & Nina most of today too so Andrew had plenty of opportunity to entertain his fans. He has just been in a great mood most of the time. Earlier tonight, I was calling his daddy to come see him. I told Andrew to call daaaaa and he cracked up laughing. I'd say daaa! and he'd giggle. Well, it was funny if you were there. :)

The other thing he has been giggling over all weekend is his yellow block. If you squeeze it, it quacks. He thinks it is just hilarious and starts smiling and laughing whenever we press it even if he was upset just a minute ago. We have had lots of fun spending time with him this weekend and we are excited to get to spend all day tomorrow with him too!

Babies, babies everywhere!

Andrew has been around all sorts of babies lately! First of all, he has a new baby cousin. Kyle was born on May 9th at 8:10 a.m. We haven't met him yet but we have seen his picture (Click on D and look under Crystal & Ronnie) and we hope to meet him soon! Andrew also got to go to mommy's work tonight and meet all sorts of coworkers' babies (and little kids). We were having an open house and kids and spouses showed up towards the end. It is so nice to work for a place where kids are always welcome. His daddy took him home early to go to bed... but he decided he had to wake up and play with Mommy. So right now he is loving his Exersaucer! It seems so much later than 8:00 here... but really he isn't even past his bedtime yet!

Four Month Checkup

Today Andrew had his 4 month checkup. He is still doing great -- he weighs 14 lbs, 6.5 ounces and is 25.5 inches long (so we can get a couple more weeks out of the handy infant carrier before switching to the next car seat!). He wasn't very happy at the doctor today -- he got startled while the doctor was examining him and had a hard time calming down. Then as soon as he got calmed down the nurse came in to give him his shots! After cuddle time with Mommy and some Tylenol he calmed down and went back to his Gran-Gran's where he slept until his Daddy came to pick him up after work. His doctor said he is doing great and to start on cereal sometime after five months and we will talk about fruit and veggies at his six-month appointment. I loved getting to see Andrew in the middle of the day -- even if it was to go to a doctor's appointment!

Playtime

Andrew has just started getting into playing with toys in the past couple of weeks. It is so cute to watch him hold onto his toys or play with them now! I'll have to try to get a video up. He is 4 months old today, it is just amazing how much he has changed in the past four months!
