Andy is now 9 months old and he is really on the move! He pulls himself across the room on his belly and rolls when he tires of that. He can scoot himself into a sitting position and can pull himself onto his knees.

He was sick this past week with a double ear infection and was pretty miserable. He’s bounced back and last night ate an entire bread stick after his normal dinner. Andy continues to be easy going and laid back. He thinks Eden is very funny, except when she tries to pick him up or pull him around. He loves watching people play peek-a-boo with him and is babbling a lot.

Andy had his 9 month check-up today and weighed 22 lbs 7 oz and was 29 inches long.  He has 4 top teeth coming in and the doctor said he looked great.  Both kids got a flu shot and Andy didn’t even cry!

We hope that you have many things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and that you are able to spend time with family and friends (and maybe squeeze in a little shopping!).

Andy is getting so big! He is doing a great job eating baby food now and this week he started eating puffs! He’s not very good at getting them into his mouth yet, but he crunches them with his two little teeth and really likes them! He’s still not crawling, but he rolls everywhere and can travel across the room that way. He pushes himself onto his hands and knees and rocks and he loves to give hugs and big, slobbery kisses.  He had his first ear infection last week but he was still perfectly pleasant even though we’re sure his ear was bothering him.

Andy is now 7 months old! He is really starting to move around a lot more and interacts with all of us. He desperately wants to crawl and be able to chase Eden around. He lays on his belly and wiggles and squirms, following her with his eyes while she plays. He really loves anything that Eden does. He gets so excited when she comes in to get him up in the morning or after naps and likes to jump in his exersaucer when she is jumping near by.

Andy loves being outside and playing peek-a-boo. He laughs a lot and has started rolling from his tummy on to his back. He is really getting in to the baby food but pretty much refuses to eat anything green. He’s a great snuggler and decided about a week ago that he would like to get up at 3am every morning for a little snuggle time. Last night was the last night for that, though! 🙂 His first tooth is about half way in (note the slobbery clothes) and he has been a trooper throughout the process.

Vote for Andy

Andy is now 6 months old! Time has flown! We can’t believe how he is growing and changing. He loves rolling over and does it every time he lays on the floor. He has only flipped a couple of times in his bed and both times were after his nap. He talks a lot and loves watching Eden. He likes to play with her when she gives him a chance. He can sit up for an extended time and reaches for toys. He has even started lunging forward to grab things, then gracefully wiggles into the superman position on his belly. Andy had is 6 month check up today and he weighed 20 lbs 2 oz and was 28 1/4 inches long.  Dr. Timmons said that he looks ready for kindergarten and he can eat prunes for dinner tonight!

We entered Andy in the Gerber Baby contest. Voting is open on Sept. 3. Click here to see his adorable picture on Gerber’s content website. We’ll send out a reminder email with a link when you can vote for him. 🙂
