He's 7 months this week!

i weighed him this morning, 19.2 pounds!

unstructured indoor play right here...

andrew "thumbing" the wheels to make them spin...



he loves the bunny grandma (hall) gave him for easter. he picked it out of the basket himself. these toys weren't staged!

the girls and their cookies. i thought it was funny , they liked the cookie dough, but there was a whole can of pumpkin in the dough, it really didnt look very sweet...but they liked it!

andrew getting a bit of cookie, he didnt particularly like the cookie.


he always loves water though.


notice the shirt. i had to get a picture of it in play.

me giving mom one of my many hugs.

the girls entertaining andrew....

does this shirt make my face look fat?


so last night we had sam and heidi and the girls over, and jen, and margo. it was a good time! they brought dinner and we made pumpkin choc chip cookies, very good! it was nice to see everybody and just hang out. andrew however was having a rough day. not napping, crying, and then last night when i tried to put him to bed it took forever, he didnt go to sleep unitl 10:30, and dan was the one who finally got him to sleep. i would get him to sleep and then i would lay him down and he would start screaming. and then it would take a long time to calm him down and then he would fall asleep, and the cycle went on for so long i finally just gave up and handed him to dan. what a dad! got him to sleep and got him to stay asleep when he layed him down. i think he had a fever last night, he was warm (i thought it could have also been the crying, so i didnt check the temp, but i knew something was bothering him so i gave him baby motrin. which he then choked on because he wouldnt stop crying, and then spit or threw some of it back up..) and this morning , he slept til after 7, then ate a little, and played with his toys, and then i was holding him and he felt really warm, so i checked his temp (with a forhead band, that he didnt like me holding on) it got to 100.4 i think and then he wouldnt have it anymore. so i said, okay he has a fever and let him be. but then HE (haha i put "I" and almost didnt catch it. TOTALLY changes the meaning there) fell asleep or i would have given him baby motrin, so when he wakes up i will give him some. but i want to let the poor little guy sleep.
so new andrewisms- (things andrew does)- takes chevron cars and flips them over and spins the wheel with his thumb, really cute. he loves the cars and the wheels! he also loves stuffed animals,as well as real ones. gives hugs and kisses to them liberally. when i drop him off at the gym baby center, i come back and get hugs and kisses, and it seems like every time i pick him up i get a big hug and kiss, or two or three. hes a very affectionate little guy. anyways, here are some pictures!
