Goose Egg

How appropriate that on the day we take Andrew for his first Easter Egg hunt.....he gets his first goose egg! I left Andrew with Chad for 5 minutes this morning, and heard him screaming. Apparently he is so wild now that he kicked the bar off the top of the bouncy seat, it flew up in the air, then came back down and smacked him in the forehead. Of course, something like this would happen on the day we have pictures with the Easter Bunny!!!

Going to the "Doctor"

Andrew and I went to visit Daddy at work today! Chad was so excited to see his little boy, and Andrew was even more excited. He actually holds out his arms to Chad now and will grab his shirt to go to him. Mommy gets no love when daddy's around! Andrew also got lots of attention from all of the chicks in the office....it must have been the plaid pants!!

Milestones!

Andrew hit a huge developmental milestone today- he rolled over from back to tummy for the first time!!! He has been doing tummy to back since about 10 weeks, but this was the one I have been waiting for. Now I don't have to worry about going in his room and flipping him back over!!- I know the little man can do it on his own. He was so proud of himself this morning when he did it for the first time and smiled the biggest smile. Talk about a proud Mommy!! He hasn't quit rolling all day- he is rolling all over the place now! By the way, he doesn't have a diaper on in the pictures because he has a rash all over his diaper area- possible reaction to the diapers?? It isn't a diaper rash- I keep him clean and dry! I'm just doing what the doctor told me to do! "Letting him air out". (Yes, I called the doctor for a diaper rash) I am a mom now- not just a nurse!

Milestones!

This has been a big week for Andrew! I think his fussiness is due to his brain growing so big! He is now able to sit up on his own- with the occasional toppling over.

Little Lama!

I think it is the lama that spits on people...whatever animal it is, my son is acting like it. Andrew has become quite the little stinker this week. I think he is acting out from being at Grandma's for a week! He loves to blow bubbles, but now it has turned into more of a spitting. It goes all over his face and on whatever is in front of him! He has also started pinching me when I am changing his diaper- along with crying. He grabs my arm and gets a death grip with his little fingers- Like a little crab! When I say ouch! that hurts Mommy, he just laughs. He also will not stop rolling over in his crib. I had to go in his room 8 times last night because he wouldn't quit crying, and each time he was on his back. I know it is a game now to get me in the room so I tried today during naps to not go in there, but he screamed 30 minutes one time, so I finally gave in. It is taking me about 15-30 min. to get him down for naps now because he will roll over about 6 or 7 times. HELP! I have created a little spoiled monster. I need some sleep- I feel like a have a newborn again.

But he sure is cute!!!!!

Best Friend Becky!

Andrew and I met "Aunt" Becky on our way out of town going back to Chattanooga. Becky is my best friend from college and was my next door neighbor in the dorms. We had lunch, and Andrew was "pretty good". He likes to grab everything now so he managed to pull Becky's earrings, my hair and nose! I guess he is just exploring his environment, so I am just smiling and naming everything he pulls!

Born to be Wild!!!!

Is this not the cutest picture ever?? McKenzie wasn't satisfied with her little pink and purple bike- it isn't motorized like the Harley!! She does everything Merrick does and doesn't stop going for a second. She even wipes out and keeps going.....and I'm talking bleeding wipe outs! She is a wild woman and loves her big brother. Watch out boys!
