Andrew's 1 Month Birthday and Aunt Ellen's Visit

Today is Andrew's 1 month birthday - I can't believe our baby is 1 month old already!  Great Aunt Ellen was visiting this weekend and helped us celebrate.  Andrew was very excited to meet her and they spent a lot of time getting to know each other.  Pop and Jason hung out with Andrew while the girls did some shopping.  Grandma and Aunt Ellen made lots of delicious meals, which was great since Jason and I haven't quite gotten a routine down yet in terms of cooking / cleaning since the little one arrived.  This week Andrew has his 1 month check-up and we're looking forward to seeing how much he has grown - check out the Watch Andrew Grow section of the blog for updated pictures of him in his red chair.

Our Little Inchworm

So we continue to keep a video diary of some of the cuter Andrew moments.  Check out this video of Andrew attempting to crawl with dad's assistance.  He can sort of launch himself off of dad's hand to inch himself forward.  He also enjoys playing with the inchworm from the Bumgarners.

Andrew's First Bath

We continue to use our new video camera.  Here are some video snippets of Andrew's first bath.  He seemed to like the bath as long as we were pouring water on him and when he wasn't cold.  We received good help from Grandma and Grandpa Martin in his first bath.  

Andrew Hanging Out

Aunt Melissa and Uncle Shawn got us a great video camera for Christmas. Jason just started to figure it out and came up with this video for the little guy. It's nothing exciting - in fact, it kind've reminds me of watching David Beckham sleep in London's National Portrait Museum - but the grandparents will surely love it.

Andrew's First 2 Weeks

Andrew's first 2 weeks at home have been a wonderful adventure.  We started out a little rocky with extra visits to the doctor to monitor his jaundice, but the jaundice is pretty much gone now and the little man is growing fast - hats that used to swallow his head now fit nicely.  

We've been lucky to have help from both sets of grandparents over the past few weeks as Jason and I continue our on-the-job parenthood training.  We don't know what we would have done without them - thanks Grandma and Pop Gibbons and Grandma "D"  and Grandpa Martin!

Grandma Gibbons and I took Andrew on his first shopping excursion yesterday and he slept through the whole thing.  While shopping seems to put him to sleep, we seem to have a little night owl on our hands.  :-)
