First Thanksgiving













Can I also title this entry "Just too cute" because what can I say, our little guy really is, and we have pictures to prove it. It has been a busy week for Andon. He celebrated his very first Thanksgiving by having breakfast at his Grandpa Craig and Grandma Karen's house with his Aunt Michelle and cousins Paulie, Chase and Alexandra and then finished off the day with a low key feast at his Grandma Dale and Dzidzu's house. He cried through soup, but decided to nap through dinner and dessert so we call could eat together. What a courteous boy we have. Then he had a weekend visit from his Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Joe, who snapped some great pictures of him looking really adorable. Andon was really posing for the camera. Here are some great shots of him smiling away. He has really started to love smiling in reaction to things we do and say, which has been awesome and totally validating. It's especially great to see, and a much needed relief I must say, first thing in the morning when mommy is not quite awake and wishing she had another hour or two of sleep. His other new interest is holding his head up. He practices it all the time when he is on his tummy, and he loves to look around and move it from side to side. Those neck muscles will be all strong and built up in no time! We sure are loving our little guy and we can't wait to see what he does next!

Just Plain Cute







Just some pictures of our little guy doing what he does best...being cute! We had his one month doctor visit on the 15th and Ben and I were so excited to learn how big he had gotten. We were thinking maybe 11 pounds, but he came in at 11lbs 9oz, and also grew 2 inches. He is at the 97th percentile for height, and I believe it because most little outfits with feet he doesn't fit into because he is just too tall! He is definitely a healthy, growing boy. And, he has been a rock star sleeper lately. He has been sleeping for 5-6 hours at a time overnight, which has been amazing for me. It's incredible how much better you feel after getting more than 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. I hope this isn't just a fluke!

Play Date!



Andon had his very first play date with his friend Jack on Wednesday. Too bad Andon slept through the entire thing! Hopefully there will be more action next time around.

Happy Halloween!



Andon's first Halloween! And, here he is in his first sugar coma after too much candy. Good thing he doesn't have any teeth yet, and also a good thing there is a dentist in the family! This kid has a major sweet tooth. Ok, so maybe the sugar coma was from all the candy mom ate, but doesn't he look cute?
