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. :)

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.

3 Months!

Ok, I know I am a little late on posting this, but things have been a bit busy seeing as we are fully intrenched in the holiday season. But, holidays or no holidays, the days go on, and we couldn't stop Andrew from turning 3 months old! I can't believe the time is flying by so quickly - we feel like it was just yesterday that he was born. We don't know his exact weight becuase Andrew did not have to go to the doctor this month for a well-baby visit. But, he was there a few weeks ago, and he weighed 11 lbs, 10 oz. So, we are estimating that he weighs just over 12 lbs at this point - he is getting to be such a big boy! He is even graduating into 3-6 month clothes. :) So, here is Andrew's 3 month picture. Can you tell what his shirt says?

2 Months!

Today Andrew is 2 months old! Wow, I can't believe it has been 2 months already - time really is flying by. At the pediatrician this morning, Andrew got 2 thumbs up. His stats as of today are 10 lbs, 11 oz (25th percentile) and 23.5 in (50th percentile). Sadly, his head circumference is also in the 25th percentile - I guess he takes after his mommy. Hehe. As of now, he is meeting all of the developmental marks that he should be - he is tracking back and forth, cooing, smiling, and starting to lift his head when he has "tummy time". But, unfortunately, he is still not sleeping really long at night. :( I have that on my birthday, Hanukkah, and Christmas lists. :)

Here are some "outtakes" from the monthly pictures... HAHA!

What Andrew does best... Spit-Up !

Halloween

Andrew's first Halloween was quite a success, if I do say so myself. :) In other words, he looked super cute in his costume, didn't ruin it with any "blow outs" or projectile spit-up, and was very well behaved at the annual Rockburn View Halloween party. We started the day's festivities with a visit to the doctor's office for a weight check (not typically a part of Halloween, but it was great to see his weight). For those keeping track, Andrew weighs in at a hefty 9lbs, 9oz. From there we went to visit Nana at the Sheraton, where he was a huge attraction - everyone loves a baby in a Halloween costume. When we got home, Grandma Rose came over for a visit. Once nightfall came, we all sat outside on the front step and gave out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Then it was off to the party, which Andrew slept through. But, at least he was quiet and well-behaved. :) Next year we will have to hit the pavement and go trick-or-treating!
