Hanging Out at Home

Sometimes in the morning, I like to lounge in my pj's and watch a show on the computer

I also like to sit on Peanut while he is trying to take a nap.  See how happy Peanut is?

I love reclining in my Boppy!

What do people think?  Am I getting too big for this carrier?
Your feet are supposed to hang out, right?

5 Months

The latest pics of Andon as a 5 month old. He has pretty much mastered the art of sitting up on his own, although he still has a pillow spotter just incase.  He can roll from his back to his belly too!  Lots of cool things happening this month!

We started introducing some veggies this month, which so far has gone well. He seems to be a pretty good eater...so far.  We're keeping our fingers crossed on that one.

It has been great having this awesome spring weather.  We've been able to explore the yard, take Peanut for walks every day, and even test out the jogging stroller.

And, Peanut heeds that wise old adage to "Sleep when the baby sleeps."

A sad day.

It's a sad day when you realize your 4 1/2 month old son is already much cooler then you.

This and that.

Chelsea discovers how nice it is to put Andon in his little carrier and have two free arms to accomplish tasks.  Andon is also pretty satisfied being strapped to his mom.

Quite a milestone, EATING SOLIDS!!!  Well kind of solid and he is kind of eating it.

He much prefers to eat his toys and really anything else that fits in his mouth.

4 Months

Guess who is 4 months old today, and weighs 15lb, 10oz, and is 27 inches tall, and can almost sit up by himself?   

Out on the Town

Andon has been busy making his way about town these days. 

Here he is all packed up in his carrier ready to go

At Dad's favorite place to grab a bite - Five Guys (we had to introduce him to that early)

And hanging out at Prime for the Chowder Fest in Saratoga Springs.  He was nice enough to let mom and dad enjoy a glass of wine.

Jumping is serious business in our house.

Relaxing at Hunter Mountain

We got together with the Walsh's and Tofeldt's for a nice relaxing weekend at a house near Hunter Mountain.  We quickly realized that Andon and Roan have the same outfit. 

And apparently I neglected to take any pictures of the rest of the adults, sorry guys.

3 Months Old !!!

We are a little behind with our postings but here is Andon's three month old picture. He is doing a lot of smiling these days. 

Play Time

Andon's newest discovery is the world of toys.  In past months, he has stared blankly as we dangled jittery pals, stuffed animals, and links in front of his face, but in the last few weeks he has realized that these brightly colored, musical objects can be fun!  He now reaches for toys, holds things in his hand, and even puts them in his mouth.  I'll probably be wishing he would take toys out of his mouth in about a month's time, but the first time he did it he definitely got a cheer from me.  It's a whole new world for him!  And, it allows mommy to have a little more time to get things done, as he can now be entertained a little easier.

In other news, Andon has pretty much decided that he hates drinking from a bottle and will not do it!  He is  very stubborn.  You can imagine that this is great fun for both mom and dad.  Fun for mom because she can't leave him for more than an hour or two, and fun for dad because he gets to sit with Andon while he cries when mommy leaves!  Hopefully this phase of his life doesn't last too long. 

Either way, we think Andon is just the coolest kid in town, and we love everything he does!  He is becoming more and more like a little person every day, and it is awesome to see what new thing he will do on a daily basis.
