The Great Outdoors

We all bundled up for a walk in the park on Christmas Eve. Andon was all snuggly in his fuzzy little suit. Ben and I are thinking about getting adult versions for ourselves. And, Andon has discovered the joy of his hand. He loves putting his little fist in his mouth! Peanut also has a fascination with Andon's hands, and is always close by trying to sneak in a lick or two.

Baby's First Christmas

Lots of great pictures from Andon's first Christmas! We had a great morning at our house with Peanut. Andon opened his stocking, which is pretty much the same size he is. We spent the rest of the day with family. Andon's cousin Riley really started to take an interest in him, and kept coming over to touch his hand or his face. So cute! They are going to be good playmates once Andon becomes a little more mobile.

Mommy's Shopping Buddy

Andon has been busy getting ready for Christmas this month. He helped us decorate the tree, got his new stocking hung and, probably much to his dismay, has become my little shopping buddy! He is only good for about 20 minutes of shopping, so I guess that means he is a typical male after all. He started crying in a Hallmark store, and the man in line behind me said, "That must be a boy. It's genetic." But, all the ladies love the big blue eyes he flashes from inside his stroller so mothers, lock up your daughters now. :)

Two Months Old

Our big boy is two months old today. It is hard to believe it has been that long since he has joined our little family. We have loved every second of watching him grow so far. Andon had his two month check up today. What a way to spend your two month birthday - getting vaccines! He was such a champ though, and took them like a big boy. There were some tears for sure, but nothing that a big hug from mom and a little time spent nursing didn't fix. His new stats are 13lbs. 3 oz. and he has also grown 3/4 of an inch. He's a healthy guy all around.

Here's a new picture of Andon in his chair. You can scroll down to the one month picture to see how much he has changed over the last month. Much more head control this time, so he can sit in it without having to lean against the arm. Way to go!

Time really does fly when you are having fun.

Here are a few of the latest and greatest pictures.  Although it is happening before my eyes, I am amazed at how fast Andon is changing and growing.  He is sleeping through the night, holding his head up (still needs to work on the control), starting to be less fussy in the evening (key word there is starting), smiling a lot more and eating like a champion .  I used to think time went by fast before he arrived, now I am concerned that I will blink and he will be driving. It's wild.
