Thanks for this cute outfit Nana, I just love it!

Hey, what's going on??

Andrew's Life

New in Andrew's world:

Likes: Eating sweet potatoes and bananas, playing in his crib and turning on his music at 1 am, licking the remote control, pulling Pumpkin's hair

Dislikes: Mom or dad leaving the room to do anything, when a toy is taken from him, when he can't sit up

It has been a fun weekend with Andrew. He is now reaching out to grab anything within his reach and likes to roll all around his playmat. He giggles when he touches a glass of ice water or anything cold. He also seems to have his own language for the dogs and cats. I wonder what he is telling them.

Playtime with daddy

go dawgs!

Andrew had his cowbell out for the MSU vs LSU football game. A bulldog fan at heart, it's a good thing he doesn't realize how bad his dawgs lost! He's also part ISU cyclone but he knew who to root for on the night both teams played (and may I mention, lost).

It's so wonderful to wake up to cute little noises and coos that we hear in the room next to us (of course Andrew's room). I think about getting up, what needs to be done for the day and just when I am about ready to hop out of bed and get to it, I see the alarm clock, what?? only 1:00 am! Why oh why is that cute little boy playing at this time of the morning??? For the past few days Andrew has had great playtime in the middle of the night. To our amazement he even turned on his crib music. When we ventured into the room to see how this was possible we found his feet kicking the music machine and his head under the blanket, just a little turned around. It is very sweet to hear this, however it would be even sweeter if it was somewhere around the 5am hour.

A fun weekend

Andrew is steadily growing and surprising us daily. He has been sleeping through the night for an entire week now, yippeee! Nelson and I feel great (well Nelson was sick with a cold, but I felt great). We went for a day of shopping on Saturday and Andrew loved to people watch.

Andrew is really trying to crawl, however most times his face is pushed into the floor and his back end is raised up.
He loves to sit up.

All dressed for church.

Looking up at mommy...."hey, would you put that camera down and play with me!"

Playtime!

Vacation extended

We have been on vacation visiting family in Mississippi and Louisiana. We were supposed to already be on our way home but the plane was so delayed that we would have missed our connecting flight. So, our vacation has been extended an extra half a day, yippeeee. Andrew has grown lots since we left. After his sickness he has been playing "catch up" and eating about every two hours. He is also very interactive and talking bunches. Will update more pictures when we get back home.

Andrew and I spent the morning in the park. He enjoyed laying out and playing while I enjoyed a cup of Starbucks

Andrew is now ready for his first big trip on the airplane. We got this new stroller and he just is barely big enough for it. Mississippi and Louisiana....here we come (well, in a few days:))

New Happenings:

1. Rolling from front to back (will not do on demand)

2. Blowing bubbles

3. Chewing on index finger

4. Giggles when flying through the air (great arm workout)

5. Wants to sit up

6. Attended first birthday party (see picture below)
