Andrew is 4 Months Old!

Today marks Andrew's 4 month birthday - we can't believe how much he has changed / grown! The pictures above show him at 4 days old versus 4 months old (for the complete progression, check out the Watch Andrew Grow section of the blog).  We go to the pediatrician tomorrow for his official weigh in / height check.  He's definitely proven to be a good eater and has the belly and cheeks to prove it!  His extra chubs haven't slowed him down - he rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first (and second) time this week.  It was hilarious to watch because he had this stunned look on his face when he ended up on his back and was just happy to be relieved of tummy time.  

We continue to love every minute with Andrew.  Check out a few additional pictures from today in the radom April album (click here).

April Pictures Update

Just a quick update on the family...we have been very lucky to have grandparents serve as nannies over the past three weeks.  Andrew has really grown to love the time with his grandparents and he was sad to see them go.  

Here are some new pictures

Mr. Giggles

Andrew has been laughing on occasion for a few weeks now, but we haven't been able to catch him on camera until this week.  He laughs most often while getting his diaper changed and I'm sure he will appreciate that I'm not taking video at those times when he's a teenager.  I was finally able to keep him laughing this week while Grandma got it on video.  Check out the video - he laughed so hard he got the hiccups!

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!
