Atlanta Visit & Other Random Pictures

Andrew made his first trip to Atlanta over Valentine's weekend to hang out with Grandma and Pop Gibbons and to meet his Atlanta friends.  I was really bad about taking pictures, but wanted to share what I have plus some other random shots.  The little man is currently recovering from his first cold, which has lasted over a week.  He may not look like me, but he unfortunately inherited my very runny nose.  

We are looking forward to hosting a baby shower for the Rooks this weekend - Drew will have another playmate soon!  We also having our first set of professional pictures taken this weekend and will share them once they are ready.

Happy Valentine's Day

Andrew would like to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day.

Carolina Fan

Daddy and Andrew enjoyed the UNC victory over Duke last week and are looking forward to March Madness.  

Andrew's 6 Week Update

We're a little bit behind on posts, so we thought we would provide a quick update on what we've been up to.  Andrew had his 1 month check-up on 1/28 and is doing well.  He weighed in at 9 pounds and was 21.5 inches long.  He is in the 25th percentile for weight, 50th for height and 10th for head size.  He's long and lean - he'll probably be a runner like his dad.  

Andrew has also hung out with a few friends over the past few weeks.  Meredith and Jennifer stopped by to meet him and Alise and I have been trying to get together regularly with our boys.

Jason has had to travel for work over the past few weeks, so it's just been me and my little man.  It's been good bonding time, but Drew is very excited to see his daddy when he comes home.  His daddy got him geared up for the Super Bowl (even though his favorite team, the Packers, wasn't playing).  He was ready to go with the remote, a bottle and chips on the couch.  

We're looking forward to our visit to Atlanta next week where we will get to meet some of Grandma and Pop Gibbons' friends.  He will be spoiled with attention for sure!

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.
