Happy 3 Month Birthday Andrew!

I can't believe that it's been 3 months since the love of our lives arrived.  He's getting so big and cuter by the day.  He has been a great baby - we can only hope that we have been half as good at being his parents.  His favorite things at 3 months are talking (sometimes even to himself), trying to get his hands and toys in his mouth, and testing out his Exersaucer.

We love you Andrew!

Andrew's Baptism

We celebrated Andrew's Baptism this weekend with the main event held at St. Matthew's yesterday.  Grandma and Pop Gibbons, Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Aunt Katie, Aunt Melissa and Uncle Shawn, Great Aunt Ellen and Uncle Doug, and "Uncle" Steve and "Aunt" Lindsey were all here to participate in the festivities.  The weekend started with a cook out on Saturday.  The weather was dreary so we didn't get to test out the fire pit on the patio, but we still enjoyed hanging out with our family and friends and ate way too much food.  A pre-Baptism brunch followed on Sunday morning, which also involved lots of yummy food (are you noticing a theme?).  

The Baptism itself was very nice.  Andrew wore a cute white jumper from Aunt Katie and Aunt Ellen (my godmother) and didn't cry at all - even as lukewarm water was poured over his head.  None of the 8 babies that were baptized made a peep during a ceremony - the priest was shocked that everyone was on such good behavior.  

Thanks to all of our family and friends that were here to help us celebrate!  More pictures will be posted to our Picasa album shortly (click here).

Andrew's Professional Pics

Here are some of the pictures from Andrew's first professional photo shoot.  We were very happy with how they turned out - we may be biased, but he's so cute!

Rocky Mount Visit

Andrew made his first trip to Rocky Mount, NC to visit Grandma and Grandpa Martin last weekend.  He got to meet some of Grandma and Grandpa's friends and enjoyed going for stroller walks and hanging out on the patio in the unseasonably warm weather.  Uncle Mark and Aunt Cathy were also able to join us in Rocky Mount to meet the little man.   I've posted a few pictures from our weekend here.  

We're looking forward to celebrating Andrew's baptism this weekend and will have lots of family and friends around for Andrew to play with.

Your Moment of Zen - Andrew Sleeping

Here's something to calm anyone's day...

Handsome Boy

Lots of pictures were taken of Andrew this weekend since he's more alert everyday and likes to pretend he's a baby model when in front of the camera.  I've added some additional candids taken by Grandma Gibbons to an existing folder on the Picasa page (click here) - professional ones taken today will be posted in about 2 weeks.

Baby Rook Shower

On Saturday, we helped host a shower for Baby Rook (aka Paco - for now).  We are so excited to be sharing this phase in our lives with Steve and Lindsey - they will be great parents and we're sure that Baby Boy Rook and Andrew will be great friends.
