Month: January 2019

Andrew will be 7 months old on Sunday and it’s incredible how much he’s progressed in the past month.

Now he can sit himself up and play with toys. He loves this drum Great-Grandma Riley got him!

He pulls up to standing on everything available.

If you take your eyes off him, he’s gone.

He also discovered that the cat food in the kitchen was a tasty snack (!) and that had to be moved.

He learned how to say consonants last weekend and treated everyone at mass to MA-MA-MA-MA the whole time. The church had great acoustics.

And possibly most importantly, big brother Tommy is teaching him to love trains already.

Andrew has lots of news. First he’s finally doing some real crawling

AND he grew in two teeth (picture was difficult)

AND he pulled up to standing for the first time today! We haven’t gotten a pic of the standing yet, but here’s a then and now perspective:

Where did our tiny little baby go? ?

We like to swim as a family so now that Andrew’s 6 months old it’s time to start learning to swim. We started him out with some water acclimation, back floats and a few face dunks. He did great!

Checking it all out

And here we are outside (what month is it again!?) at the park today enjoying the warm weather.

We’re so excited for 2019 and all the new firsts Andrew will have!

We celebrated at noon at the library today. Andrew was on an epic quest to eat a balloon and army crawled all around the room in pursuit.

But it kept getting away…

So we eventually helped him out ?

Wishing you and your family a blessed, safe and happy new year!
