Andrew is 7 Months...

and seriously couldn't be any sweeter!! Everyone comments on how friendly and smiley he is. He is sitting up a little better, but I still wouldn't just set him down and walk away. He needs to be strategically placed still :) And he is still doing the army crawl and the scooting on his chest and tummy thing. He is strong enough to do a traditional crawl but just thinks you are supposed to do it the other way! But he is all over the place and always crawls like he is on a mission (which he usually is). It has become impossible to change his diaper. He has been eating like a mad man- thank goodness! I am anxious to see if he has resumed his spot on the 15% mark on the growth chart.

And his sleep! Since we moved into our new house (more on that in a few days) he has been sleeping soooo much better! He isn't perfect by any means, and still wants to get up around 1 for a paci or around 5 for a bottle, but the improvement is amazing. In this house the kids are upstairs and we are down, and I think that has been key. In the old house, he could hear EVERYTHING from his room and here he is in his own little corner. I really think he didn't have the opportunity to be a good sleeper in the other house. And as far as naps go, in the old house he would want to take 3or 4 45 minute naps and here he is taking 2 2 hour naps- big difference!


Andrew is all of a sudden Mr. Shy, too. If you talk to him, he will smile and bury his head in whomever is holding him. It's too cute :) He has started reaching for me (melt my heart) and always has something in his hand. Sometimes I don't even know it until he has dropped it or something! And for a period of a couple of days, he only wanted me. No one else, just me. He had the lip turned up and everything :( I'm thinking it was teething maybe, although he still has no teeth. Still has that sweet toothless grin! He also had his first cold this month- it appeared on moving day no less :(

Andrew, my sweet boy, I hope you stay this sweet forever. You are vibrant, and energetic, and loving, and simply perfect to me. Your little smile just always melts my heart. And I can't get enough of kissing those sweet little cheekies of yours. Thank you for being exactly who you are. Life wouldn't be the same without your sweetness :) I love you, baby boy!
