Itty, bitty baby faux-hawk







Andrew has just enough hair to allow for the creation of a faux mohawk - albeit, a small one. Plus Kirby attempts to break through the ottoman barrier that was created to keep him from being in the living room when Andrew is playing on the floor. By the way, I do not know why the picture uploaded sideways it does not display that way!

A Busy 4th Month!














































We have been super busy!!!!! In June, Andrew and mom went to Colorado to Christy and Josh's wedding. Congratulations Christy and Josh! While there Aunties Jenna and Jana took care of Andrew. I think Jenna may have decided a burka was needed to protect against spit up. He really enjoyed his time with them and he got to get really dressed up for the wedding. In July Auntie Jenna visited us. She helped mom destroy Andrew's beautiful crib - seen here in the before pictures. Sadly the crib was recalled and has to be replaced. She also went with mom and Andrew to their first Gymboree class. He really enjoys the class, but we missed our second class because we got colds. Andrew also had his 4 month checkup and shots. The doc said that our boy was clearly thriving and, up until the shots, Andrew did his best to impress her with his smiles and sunny disposition. So in this posting you will see pictures of Andrew at the wedding, with Auntie Jenna in CO and at home, his former crib in all its deceiving beauty, Andrew in his new exersaucer, and of course his monthly teddy bear picture (although he would not stretch out his legs!).

A Busy Day to Celebrate Daddy!

We had a busy day to celebrate daddy. After daddy opened his gifts (which he mostly enjoyed, except we found out that he would have preferred a roll of sausage), Andrew spent the morning playing on his rainforest mat. He also demonstrated his newfound verbal skills with lots of squealing, shrieking, grunting, and chattering.



Next, we got ready to visit Daddy's advisor and his family who were visiting. Andrew wore a special shirt that Mom made celebrate the day.




















We had lunch with Dr. A's family. Andrew was enamored with their beautiful daughter and did his best to show that he is a good baby by showering them with lots of smiles. Later this evening, it was bath time which totally wore him out...but, luckily, he recovered to spend some time with daddy before calling it a day.

Three Months!!!




We will try to post a picture of Andrew with his teddy bear when he has a monthly birthday. This will help everyone know how much he is growing!

Meeting the Family
















We made a trip back home to meet the family. We really enjoyed our time with everyone and introducing Andrew to every one. He got to spend some good time with Grandpa, and got to ride shotgun with Papa and cousin Ethan. He also got time with Aunt Shannon and cousin Logan, and read books with Aunt Sarah and Ethan. It was a wonderful trip! And as you can see we were all exhausted by the time we returned home!

Getting Big


















Andrew saw the doctor today. He now weighs 12 lbs 4 oz. Here are two pictures showing the size difference about two weeks apart. We have also had to move into 3-6 month onesies. He is growing fast.
