Our Baby Boy is Already 5 Months Old!

I can't believe how old he is getting and it's all flying by so fast! We are also celebrating another milestone...He rolled over! He first started doing it in his sleep yesterday but this morning he was awake from a nap and rolled from his tummy to his back :) My baby is almost mobile...scary!

Having Fun with Daddy! (PUSH PLAY)

I heard Andrew laughing like crazy from downstairs so I had to investigate and this is what I found...I think he was having fun!

Having Fun with Nanni (Drew has a Pretty cute laugh!)

I can definitly say that Andrew's laugh has fully come in :) I wish I could make it a ringtone :)

4 Month Checkup and More Shots

We went in today for our 4 month checkup and another round of shots. Drew weighed in at 13 pounds 4 ounces and is now 2 feet and 1.5 inches! Almost as tall as daddy...well, he might have a ways to go still :) He hasn't gained as much weight because since he has started moving around as much, he has started to burn off some of that baby fat! We were given the go-ahead to feed him 3 meals of solid food a day along with formula in between! She also checked too see if he was teething and his lower gums looked inflamed but still thick. The doctor thinks he will be cutting lower teeth soon! She was also VERY impressed with how well he was able to sit up and get into standing position. The doctor also commented on how well he was able to focus on faces and how well he interacts with people. Like I needed to be told my kid was a genius! haha I asked about his belly button being a little darker than it used to be and she said that was pretty normal with darker skinned babies. It was kind of like a collection of pigment and it should go away on its own. She also mentioned that he will probably be crawling long before 6 months because of his progress so far so we better start baby proofing the house! Here we go, the real challenge of having a kid...mobility!
Drew did better with the shots but we still both cried...a lot. I don't think I will ever be able to handle seeing my son in pain, no matter how small it is. The next round of shots come in November for his 6 month appointment! Can you believe how fast time is going by??

Drew Got His Captian's Wings!

Drew had his first experience with a plane on his way to Texas this week! We surprised our Great Aunt Bea with a visit because she is unable to get around like she used to. As you can imagine, she was very excited too see both of us! It's been almost 10 years if not more since I was able to visit her last. My mom was already in Texas attending a seminar so Drew and I flew out on Wednesday by ourselves to meet up with her. Well...let me tell you, I was terrified! Was I going to be labeled "that lady with the screaming baby"?? We were also worried about Hurricane Ike but did some research and where we were going to be staying, we wouldn't be affected. We got on the first flight to Phoenix, Arizona without any problems. We were a few minutes late landing and we only had 10 minutes to get to our next flight! Of course the gate we had to be at was at the complete other side of the airport so I had Drew on a front backpack and had all the other crap thrown over my shoulders and we RAN...a long way! I swear the gate would never come! I finally found the gate and sat down but to my astonishment, no one else was around. Did we miss the flight? No but they did switch gates on us and didn't have any signs to tell us! Thank God the janitor came by when he did and asked if we were going to San Antonio! Drew and I were the last 2 passengers to get on the flight and off in the air we went again! Drew again slept so I lucked out again! As we were landing, Drew decided he was D-O-N-E with traveling for the day. I thought he was entitled to the melt down he had in the car on the way to the hotel room! We finally made it to Aunt Bea's and we spent a lot of time reconnecting! She told us stories of when I was little and she taught Drew how to count to 10 in Spanish (well, as much as she could haha). I really wish she lived closer to us, she is an amazing woman and I miss her very much! Needless to say, the trip was too short but we missed daddy a bunch so it was time to come home! We promised her we would come back in a year and this time bring Brad :) The flight home went just as smooth except this time Drew stayed awake a bit to flirt with the hot blond lady sitting next to us...I think he just wanted the burrito she was eating :)

Ah HA! Caught ya!!

Drew finally found his thumb which is a relief because he has still yet to find a binki that he likes! At least the poor guy can try to comfort himself somehow...besides using mommy :)

Andrew Giggles!!! Push Play :)

This is a new milestone for Drew that he has been working on for almost a week or so! I think his laugh is too cute! :)

Drew got his first haircut today!!

I took Andrew into Great Clips today for his first big boy haircut and he did so good! No crying until the very end (he was tired). Julie did such a great job, Drew looks so handsome!!
