Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Andrew had a great time experimenting with new food. He loved the cranberries and rolls, he also really enjoyed the mashed and sweet potatoes!!

First Steps 11/26/10

Andrew took his first real steps this week. He has been getting more and more brave to let go of the couch, but finally let go and took a few steps the other night. He was motivated by Tony's phone. He is really intrigued by cell phones and t.v. remotes! Such a boy!

November 6 and 7

Wendy (babysitter) let us borrow a "walking" toy this weekend for Andrew to try out, He took to it right away and is really getting the hang of using it!
We also bought Andrew is first pair of sneakers this weekend. We got the ones with Velcro, how fast will he figure out how to get out of them?!?!? We are trying to be preventative about fixing his toes. Hopefully this will work!

Halloween 2010

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Roseola 10/26/10

Andrew got Roseola fever this week, Tony was out of town, and it was just us and Grandpa Ruhland. He was a little fussy, and was covered in a red rash. It worked out well because I would have had to stay home from work with Andrew if dad wasn't here to help out.
Andrew also started saying "ma" and "da" this week- though he has no connection to those being what he should be calling us yet!

10/19/10

9 Month doctor visit
Andrew got a good report at the doctor, though he is a bit yellow because of all of the yellow and orange veggies we have been feeding him. He weighs 23.5 lbs and is 28.25 inches tall. No shots this time and we don't have to go back until Jan for the 1 year check-up!
Andrew did have a bit of an issue with the diaper change before the nurse took him to be weighed. He decided to relieve himself without a diaper on and the diaper bag was nowhere to be found! The nurse just smiled and said "Oh, that happens all the time!" UGH!!!!!

October 12th

We found out that Andrew is going to be a big brother today!! He took the news really well, but I think we will have to ask him again after the newest member of our family actually arrives!

End of September

Andrew is really growing up fast! He is 8 months old now and he has cut 2 teeth, the 2 bottom middle teeth. He has been crawling for a few weeks now and is getting very good at moving around. "BA" is the new favorite word in Andrew's vocabulary, and he is loving using it, often!!! Andrew has also mastered holding his own bottle, which has been a great help, as his curiosity gets the best of him at meal times.

Andrew Started to Crawl 9/5

Andrew's first really crawling experience! He's still a little shaky, but he is very motivated!
