Enjoying the outdoors

Andon and his cousin Riley going for a wagon ride.

Enjoying feeling the grass in his hands.  Andon loves to pull out the grass by the handfuls.
 Luckily he hasn't tried to eat it yet.

7 Months Old

Andon turned 7 months old today!  As you will see, posing him in his little chair for our monthly pictures is becoming a little bit more of a challenge these days.  This baby does not want to sit still for anything!  But, it gives you a good idea of what he is up to these days.  We didn't include the picture of him trying to take a face plant off of the chair.  Good thing we were there to catch him!

The Latest and Greatest

We've had lots of changes going on in our lives lately which has kept us very busy.  Mom went back to work and Andon helped welcome a new cousin into the world!  Andon has been working like crazy trying to crawl.  He has mastered the backwards crawl, but hasn't figured out how to go forward yet.  We are beginning to realize, now that he is partially moblie, that we are really going to have our hands full once he is in full motion!

Mom's first day back at work.

6 Months Old!

Here are the latest stats for those of you following along.  At his last Dr. appointment, Andon measured 28 inches long and weighed 18 lbs. 11 oz.  He's a healthy and happy boy!  Andon is laughing and smiling A LOT these days, which has been so fun.  Ben and I can't believe how much he is changing, and how fast it is happening!

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.
