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!

Standing up

And..... I have something new to worry about. No longer am I afraid of hurting my infant. Now I am afraid of my infant hurting himself. There are so many mixed reports on bumpers or no bumpers. So now I am weighing the consequences between suffocation or knocking himself out. He now likes to stand up on his own, but he also likes to let go.

The letting go part usually ends with a solid head thump from some portion of his crib. This mobile stage is really starting to stress me out. I am not accustomed to seeing bruises on my pretty baby's skin. Although I never thought I would be "that" mom who wouldn't want her son to play football because I didn't want him to get hurt, I just might be! Well actually I am just praying that he will be the biggest so I wont have to worry! At 21 pounds at 7 months, so far so good.
Either Andrew is showing me his Basketball form or informing me how someday he is going to go up and over the side of the crib. I am hoping its not the latter.

Crawling (7 Months old)

And we've gone Mobile! Baby is now crawling. Watch out world Mandrew is on the Move!!!

Reunited...

An emergency was diverted. Upon returning to the desert after visiting Oceanside for Father's day, we soon found out that Andrew's beloved giraffe(s) had not made the trip back with us. Thank goodness for Grandad sending them back the next day!!!

Here is Andrew's little care package. He was waiting all day for it to arrive!

Andrew's "guys" as I like to call them (since Corey informed me that I cannot call them his "babies") arrived safe and sound.
The sweet reunion. And all is well in the world again.

Corey's First Father's Day

We had a wonderful weekend for Corey's first Fathers Day. We went down to Oceanside on Friday night and spent the night at my parents house. We woke up on Saturday and went down to Carlsbad to walk on the sea wall with just Corey, Andrew and myself. Andrew LOVES his stroller and loved the beach.

Later we met my parents at their timeshare for a bit of swimming.

After that we got cleaned up and headed down to San Diego for Andrew's first Padres game! He did so well and we had a blast!

Sunday Andrew's Great Grandma and Grandad came to visit to help us all celebrate Father's day. We had a relaxing day of playing cards, grilling steaks and taking Andrew for a walk around the block in his wagon. And of course all the men watched the US Open. It was a wonderful day!

I am so Blessed to have such wonderful men in my life! If only we had Bret and Tyler it would be perfect!!!!
