*Eating: Big Boy is an eating machine! He is getting really good at self-feeding, and enjoys puffs, yogurt melts and other baby melty-treats. He loves his meal times, and will cry when we can't shovel it in fast enough. His favorite foods are sweet potatoes n' chicken, apples n' cinnamon oatmeal. He's a meat and potatoes kind of guy. LOL. I'm going to be making blueberries this week, and peas again.. hopefully he'll like them! He still breastfeeds about 8 times a day/night.
*Sleeping: Andy B is taking two naps in his crib, one right after Lindsay goes to school around 9am, and again between 1-2pm. He'll sleep for about an hour if I'm lucky, and is ready for bed around 7pm. He wakes up happy, cooing and smily boy.

*New Stuff:
MAMA! Andrew babbles, "MaMaMaMa." I think it maybe "Mama"; he will do it when I enter a room sometimes. It's a little early, but if it is, he's the only one of our children who has said "Mama" instead of "Dada" first! LOL.
Sitting! He's been sitting for awhile, but thought I'd include it.
Clapping! Andy B has begun to mimic clapping, and does it when his Sister's are watching.
Scootering! Drew loves to scooter around the floor; when he gets off the rug he pushes himself under furniture. See exhibit A:

"Oh hey there. Now can you help me please?!" 
Top Toofers! Andy B has officially two top and two bottom teeth. The two tops decided to come in at the same time and made for a cranky boy, but even at his grumpiest, he still had big smiles.

*Likes: Bath time, being silly with Sissy's, being sung to, eating anything, standing on laps, bouncing on laps, chewing on anything he can (watch out those teeth hurt!), rolling around on the floor, practicing crawling (any day now) scootering on the floor, kisses, making razzing sounds and laughing in unison with anyone he hears.

*Dislikes: strangers holding him (we have officially reached that stage), teething, being by himself, food not getting to his mouth fast enough.
*Personality: Sweet Boy is busy! He likes to 'ham' it up for an audience, and laughs hysterically at his Sisters, and loves to be tickled. He has suddenly become a shy guy, and will give a bashful look when strangers talk to him, then eventually crack a tiny smile... just as long as they don't hold him. Andy loves to be outside, and takes "walks" around the yard with his Daddy. He's a Daddy's Boy for sure, and lights up when Jarrett walks into the room!



Love you our handsome baby boy!!
