Going to Work and Daycare

Andrew and mom went to work this week. Andrew also went to daycare. He started on Tuesday. So far he has gone for the first half of the day and spends the rest with mom, either at work or at home. Miss April and Miss Mandy seem quite fond of Andrew and seem to dote on the little guy. They noted what we have noticed for some time - the boy won't have any part of being swaddled. He needs to have his arms free. There is a little girl a few weeks older than he is who really enjoys being swaddled, but not Andrew. He also goes to work with Mom, and has quickly made friends with Ms. Myra. We have invested in a small swing to keep at the office so Andrew can hopefully be entertained without constant attention from mommy.
He has been having a few rough nights due to some congestion and drainage. The snot sucker has been working overtime, much to Roo's chagrin. He is not a fan of the sucking process, and has this way of sniffing every thing that Mom or Dad pull down. It seems to be improving though. It seems to be attributable to the weather fluctuating between cool/ rainy and dry/ warm.
Last weekend, we took Andrew to his first lighthouse. He enjoyed being snuggled in the Baby Bjorn, but as it was in the eighties down by the shore, he got a little warm. Because of the narrow, harrowing stairs, he actually could not go up inside the lighthouse - so we just propped him up against the step...nah, we took turns going up.
Finally, it seems that he finally noticed Kirby and Ginger. They managed to break through the parental wall to greet him while on the floor! They seem to think that we do a terrible job cleaning his face and feel compelled to attempt to help us with that task, which makes mom's skin crawl.
Enjoy the new pictures!
