*Eating. Little Man loves to eat. My friend who has three boys told me, "Happy Boy = Full tummy." So far, that advice has proven true! Breastfeeding has slowed down mainly because Mr. is so busy and mobile. He gets distracted by anything... noises, sisters, lights, tv etc.; the best feeds are before bed and naps in his dark room. Likes to hum sometime when he breastfeeds (?)
*Sleeping. Since learning to crawl Andrew has been using his skills in his crib. In the middle of the night. All. Night. Long. I remembered this stage with the girls, they can't figure out how to get back to laying down. I watch him on the monitor and he inches his way to a corner and finally passes out, but not without a few pick-up, put-downs and crying. Once he gets it figured out, we'll do it all over again with standing. LOL. Sleep is over-rated. Haha! He goes to bed 7pm, wakes up 5:45-6am. Andy naps 2 per day, usually 9am and 1 or 2pm for around 1-1.5 hours.
*New Stuff: CRAWLING!! Andrew appropriately waited until he had an audience (and soft carpet!) at Nonna's house when he decided to crawl for the first time! He practiced all vacation long and when we got home he was a pro, and trying to pull up already. FLYING!! Andrew flew on an airplane for the first time when we went to CA. He did well, and was pretty good on both flights. Bless his heart, he was teething and fevering on the first flight, and the second flight was a little challenging because he wanted to practice his crawling skills :) FAMILY!! Andy got to meet his Aunties & Uncles in CA, and loved all the attention ;)

*Likes. Eating, self-feeding cherrios, cheese, blueberries etc. He likes meatballs, pasta, mac' n cheese, soft cooked veggies, fruits. Andrew enjoys splashing at bath time, watching Sisters and trying to 'play' with them. Drew starts waving his arms, and kicking his legs to get their attention, then all three kids laugh hysterically at each other, He likes to get all up in their business, and I hear a chorus of "Moooommm, he's messing up my ____. " Get used to it girls, its only the beginning!! He thinks its fun to push and pull chairs, put anything on the floor in his mouth, and tear up tissue/napkins/paper.
*Dislikes. Bananas, avacado (texture thing?) wearing shoes, teething, sleeping (what am I missing out on?!) a parent leaving the room, being snuggled (unless he is asleep). Being hungry.
*Personality. Oh my goodness, Andrew is just too cute right now. At this stage he just oozes adorableness and loves to wiggle-dance when he hears music, clap and wave. Big four tooth smiles, babbling, and leg rolls. Just loving this little guy!!
