A Non-Cool moment

So I am sure there will be many more of these to come, but it was our first acknowledged "lame" parenting moment. We were driving to church when all of a sudden there was a horrible noise. It sounded like a cross between thunder and an animal trying to scratch its way into the roof of our car. Thinking something was seriously wrong we parked as soon as we found a spot, jumped out and saw it.

A sippy cup. Not just a sippy cup, but a sippy cup that made it 20+ miles to our timeshare pool and back home. It made the trek to pick up a pizza for dinner and back. And lastly it hung on and made it all the way to church. Pretty remarkable actually. I know there are many more moments like this to come, but this was the first mutual recognition that we were a little "less cool" than we thought.

Bad Hair Day

Oops. Baby's first trim turned into Baby's first bad haircut. I only trimmed the hair over his ears but he moved and a side burn was lost in one quick motion. Hoping it grows REAL quick!

9 month Dr Appointment

Mandrew had his 9 month Dr appointment today! He did great! She said he is still in the 90 % percentile and is a very healthy baby boy. Here are some stats on his appointment and some other info of what he is doing these days.

• 22 pounds 6 oz (90%)
• 29 inches long (90%)
• Feeding himself cereal (gets it into his mouth 40% of the time)
• Crawls ALL over the house
• Pulls himself up on any piece of furniture possible.
• Chases Maizy all over the house either crawling or in his Jeep walker.
• LOVES to swim. We went this weekend and he kicks like a pro in the water and splashes like crazy.
• Says Dad all the time. Our favorite is when he says it low and whispers it and says "Dad Dad Dad." So cute
• He says YA!!!!
• He says Mom when he is really upset but its more like "maaaaaaaa"
• He claps when we say "Yeah!!!!"
• He has 2 bottom teeth and 3 top teeth are just breaking through.
• He LOVES other kids and will be a super big brother some day.
• He loves apple sauce, frozen bananas, cereal, and just about anything.

My 30th Birthday

Here is me and my boy on my Birthday. Definitely the best present ever. What a great start to my 30th year!!!!! The boys spoiled me a ton. Corey surprised me at work and we had lunch together with Andrew because I had an all day conference on my Birthday.

Saturday Corey let me sleep in and then brought me my fave Starbucks drink and red roses. That night after napping all day we went to PF Chang's for dinner.We had a wonderful dinner and Mandrew was so good the whole time. He was enjoying the brown rice and all the people.I had the best perfect sized Birthday Carrot Cake. SOoooooo good. Our Happy Little Family :) Sunday we went to church, and then Corey took me to Tiffanys to pick out a lovely Birthday Neclace. What a spoiled girl am I!!!
What a difference a year makes. Here I am pregnant last year at Disneyland. 29 was Great, but since my sweet baby boy has arrived, life just keeps getting better and better. :)

Wesley visit round #2

I got to see Dianna this weekend which meant that Andrew got to see his BFF Wesley! Dianna and I got to shop and hang out which was much needed.

His last visit with Wesley resulted in Andrew trying to chew on Wesley's head. This visit wasn't any less violent. Wesley is 5 months younger than Andrew and only probably 3 pounds lighter so I think Wesley is just waiting patiently to make his move when Andrew is least suspecting it.

Hey Buddy! Let me just grab your head a second.

Actually I want the ear. Do I have one of these? Hmmm
A little tug on the ear. Poor Wesley is being such a good sport. Andrew thinks its hilarious.

The boys are so cute together. Hopefully the next visit won't result in Andrew beating up on Wesley. Boys will be boys I guess!Here is a picture of their first visit only 2 months ago. Look how much they have both grown!

REALLY Crawling (8 Months)

OK all of a sudden Andrew has gotten really good at crawling. Here is a video of his improvement.

He has tons of toys, but of course he loves Maizy's toys and try's to chew on them. Gross. This is one active baby. He is so happy and good natured, but very active. Its going to get a bit wild when this baby starts to walk! He is currently trying to pull himself up on everything he can. I truly believe he will be walking by his first Birthday, in only four months!
