Fun with Food (& Other Random June Shots)

We started feeding Andrew some baby oatmeal a few weeks ago. It took him awhile to warm up to it, but he's doing a much better job with the spoon and has moved on to sweet potatoes. Hopefully he's not a picky eater like his mom.

Check out some of the pictures from his first eating experience along with some other shots from this month here.

Andrew is 6 Months Old!

Andrew Joseph Martin turned 6 months old yesterday. We can hardly believe it - the time has gone by so quickly - I feel like we just brought him home from the hospital. However, when I look at the pictures from back then, I realize how much he's changed and how big he's gotten. His official 6 months stats at the doctor yesterday were as follow:

Height - 26.5 inches (50th percentile)
Weight - 17 pounds 7 ounces (50th percentile)

His latest tricks include rolling from point to point (I'm afraid that he's just going to roll around the house as opposed to crawling), sleeping on his side, sitting and playing with toys with less support and eating some solids without too much of a mess (relatively speaking).

We continue to be completely in love and in awe of everything he does. Check out his 6 month photos under the Watch Andrew Grow link.

Andrew's 5 Month (+3 Days) Birthday

Andrew's 5 month birthday (5/26) was celebrated while we were at the beach, so his 'Watch Me Grow' shot was taken a few days late.  This month has included lots of smiles, laughs, teething frustration, and practice sitting up and holding his bottle on his own (with some support).  He's more fun by the minute and is growing like a weed.

I've posted the entire 5 month photo shoot here (there were several funny pics that at least the grandparents will enjoy - he tried to eat the arm of the chair, body slammed the frog, etc.), but the traditional monthly comparison is still under the Watch Andrew Grow section of the blog.
