4 Months Old!!!!



Look who just turned 4 months old!! Andrew is growing, growing, growing!! He had a check-up this month. He weighed in at 14 lbs 10 oz and is now 25.5 inches long! He is now twice his birth weight! The doctor says he is now in the 50th percentile for weight and 75 percentile for height. That is a 25% increase in length from our last visit.  This appointment also included 3 shots... :( The nurse allowed me to hold him in my lap this time. This made things much easier for mommy and Andrew. After each shot, I was able to hold him, while consoling him. Andrew did great! He cried of course, but was able to calm down pretty quickly. The doctor was also impressed with how social he has become! He was putting on quite the show for her talking up a storm! It was hilarious! I told her he must get this from his mommy! :) We were also happy to report that he learned how to turn over this month! What an accomplishment! He did it first for his daddy while playing in the floor, and then I was able to catch his second one on tape! We cheered and praised him for working so hard and reaching his goal! It was so fun to watch him work so hard and accomplish what he set out to do! 

As I said earlier, Andrew has also become quite social this month. He loves to smile and talk anyone he is around. This makes his mommy really happy! He is also doing great job with his arms and bring toys to his mouth. He reaches out for objects and loves to look at his arms. It's the cutest thing! Andrew is continuing to sleep 9-10 hours at night. Yay!! We think we are going to start weening him off of being swaddled this month. He has learned how to sleep during the day without it, but is still swaddled at night to help him sleep soundly.  He is starting to become so much stronger and harder to swaddle every night. We'll see how this goes! We have had so much fun watching him grow and cannot wait to see what joy he brings to us this next month!

Pumpkins and Fun!

On October 23, 2012, Kelsey, Beth and I decided to take our little ones to the Lucky Ladd Farm. We had heard it had the best activities for the kids including a petting zoo, corn pit, pumpkin patch, and corn maze. We had also heard its a busy place, so we decided to try it out on a weekday thinking "surely it wont be too busy..". Oh we couldn't have been more wrong!!  When we drove up this Tuesday morning, we were blown away by how many people were in attendance!! There were at least 5 different schools there on field trips! There were kids EVERYWHERE! However, this did not stop us. We loaded up the kids in their strollers and headed out! Beth had her two adorable girls, Adley and Tatum, plus her niece Courtney and I of course had my sweet little boy. Kelsey had the day off of work and I am so glad she was able to join us! We spent the morning playing in the corn pit, sliding down the fun slides, having a picnic and playing on the fun playgrounds! Before heading out, we wanted to find us a pumpkin. After searching for this "pumpkin patch" that was on the map for about 15 mins, we were finally told that with the heavy volume of people they were running low on their pumpkins. We could totally understand this seeing that this place was absolutely packed! Nonetheless, we all had such a great time enjoying each other's company and the gorgeous fall weather! Yay for Andrew's first outing to the "pumpkin patch!" hehe
