Andrew at the Beach

We joined my parents in Hilton Head for their annual Memorial Day week visit.  Katie was also able to make the trip this year, so we had a great time spending time with the Gibbons crew and Andrew enjoyed being spoiled with attention.

Andrew experienced several firsts this week - 'walking' on the beach, splashing his feet in the ocean, and taking a dip in the pool.  He spent a lot of time just looking around and taking in the scenery.  Check out some of the pictures from the week here.  Andrew provided the captions.

We were also able to stop in Walterboro, SC on the way home to visit my college roommate and good friend, Ashley.  

It was a great week and we wish we were still on vacation!

Our Very Hungry Caterpillar

Jason's Aunt Jill and Uncle Chuck came to Charlotte for a visit and brought Andrew The Very Hungry Caterpillar book and caterpillar stuffed animal to match.  Andrew loves his new toy and seems to enjoy 'eating' the very hungry caterpillar.

Check out some pictures from the visit and the past few days here.  

Andrew is teething?!

Somehow we went from no teeth on Monday (4/27) at the pediatrician's office (4 month check-up) to a tooth breaking through and another one on the way by Wednesday (4/29)!  While it's definitely on the early side for teething, it does explain his massive amounts of drool.  The poor little guy is in a lot of pain, but is in good spirits for the most part.  Simultaneously, we're transitioning him to formula, which thankfully, he likes - I think he'd eat anything we put in front of him.  We're also trying to put him to sleep un-swaddled.  I think he'd be fine with this if it weren't for the fact that he keeps waking himself up to try to get his hands in his mouth (probably tied to the teething).

Needless to say, he's got a lot of change to process and we're hoping that he continues to be the happy little man he's been to date.
