9 Months!

OK, OK.. I know... late again. I just cn't seem to get it together to to post these monthy updates on time. But, none-the-less, here he is, in all his 9 month glory. His official weight at 9 mos old is 18 pounds, 4 ouces; height is 28.25 inches. Still in the 10th percentile for weight, but that's OK... he's our little peanut.

Here He Comes!!!

Well, it's offical... Andrew is a crawler! I guess we all know what Mommy and Daddy are doing this weekend - babyproofing!!

The Start of Something...

Watch out - he's on the move! Even if it is only a few "steps"...

8 Months!

8 months old already! Where has the time gone?

Hide and Seek

Milo can't hide from Andrew for too long...

Something to Talk About

It's official - Andrew has something to say! He has started babbling more and more in the last week, and even does it when he cries (Brendan and I both think this is funny, but I try not to laugh). I just wish I knew what he was trying to say! Although, notice how he says "dadada" - he did that for the first time on Mother's Day... I guess he didn't get the memo that he was supposed to say "mamama"!

1st Haircut

Well, it was time to do it... Andrew got his first big boy haircut. Ms. Kandee trimmed a little off the top and a bit off the side. I do have to admit that he looks more like a little boy rather than a baby. Kinda makes me a little sad.

7 Months

More than 1/2 to a year old. Ugh... time is moving too quickly. I think I would love for Andrew to stay this age. Well, I would like if he could talk to me and tell me what he needs. But, this is a super age. :)

Hysterics

Apparently daddy making animal noises is hysterical... especially the pig. :)

Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy

And they say white men (ok, boys) can't jump...

6 Months!

WHAT? My little man is 6 months old? I can't believe it has been half of a year already. However, even though he is getting older, he is still my little peanut. 6 month stats are 14 pounds, 12 ounces (officially doubled his birth weight!) and 26 1/2 inches. He also had a great check-up with Dr. Lee, who, of course, thinks he is the cutest baby she has ever seen. OK, she didn't outright say that, but I can tell she was thinking it. :) In the coming months we can look forward to more rolling around, hopefully some cruising, and starting finger foods. Yay!

Sitting!

Andrew is officially a sitter! YAY! He has been trying to sit for so long, and he can finally do it. :) Now, if only he could get himself up from lying down, he would be a very happy camper...

Ride 'em Cowboy!!

Remember the horse that Andrew got for Christmas from his grandma?? Well, he finally fits on it, and he loves it! Especially when his daddy sigs the song to go along with it... "He's cowboy, on a bouncy horse he rides, he wanted, dead or alive...". :)

5 Months!

Our little Boo-Boo Bear is 5 months old! Seriously, how did that happen?? Andrew can do so many new things lately. He sits up on his own (well, for a minute or so at the most), grabs for toys, puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, and has starting eating vegetables (even green beans!). As for proof that he eats everything, notice the drool spot on the "5 month" sign just to the right of the 5. Hehe. Andrew does't have a 5 month doctor appointment, so we had to use Nana's scale to get an unofficial weight - 15 pounds! WOW! I guess all of those veggies and oatmeal are doing him some good. :)

He Likes It!

One week later and a change from rice to oatmeal, and what we have is a completely different Andrew. Now, he can't get his cereal into his mouth fast enough. He is only eating oatmeal at this point, but we are hoping to start some veggies in the next few weeks. I hope he likes those just as much as this! Notice the legs kicking as he eats. :)

First Attempt at Cereal = FAIL

Andrew tried cereal for the first time this past week. Needless to say, it did not go well... we will have to give it another try this week. Wish us luck!

4 Months!

Ok, so I know I have been really bad about posting lately, but I've been back at work, which has not been easy getting into a routine. But, here I am... Andrew is 4 months old. I can't believe how fast he is growing and changing. It seems like everyday he does something new and different - even if it is just the way he looks at his toys. It's almost like he is starting to understand that those things are there for him to play with. :) Andrew's 4 month stats are: 25 inches and 12lbs 12oz. Pretty average for length, but a peanut for weight. But, that's ok because he is growing just fine and he even has a little buddah belly and rolls on his legs. :)

Yes, that is spit - up on my shirt.

New Favorite Toy

One of Andrew's new favorite toys is his exersaucer/activity center. According to the instructions, this toy is for babies over 4 months old, but we just couldn't resist putting him in it a little early. Needless to say, he LOVES it. :) He especially likes hitting the buttons and watching the lights. Because he is still a bit small, we have to put a blanket behind him to help him stay up, and he feet dont *quite* toucht the bottom, but he loves it anyways.
