New Videos

Andrew had his 3 month injections yesterday. You wouldn't have known it. He was his normal self. He now weighs 12 pounds 5 ounces and is 23 1/2 inches long. Daddy was very happy about the growth in height as he is hoping for a tall boy.

We had hoped that Andrew would be a football (soccer) player, but it looks like he may have other goals in mind. He has been practicing his boxing moves.





Jason was commenting the other day on how we don't have very many pictures of Andrew and me. He saw a photo opportunity and took advantage of it.


Here is a video of Andrew enjoying his mobile.

We call Andrew's changing mat his "happy place." He is always happy there. He will smile and coo. He also loves to move his legs and arms. Sometimes he will stay there 5-10 minutes moving and kicking.

Andrew's New Achievements

Andrew has found his thumb. I went in to his room Thursday morning and saw him sleeping like this.

This week he started sleeping through the night. On Monday night it was 10:00-5:30. On Tuesday 10:30-7:00. Then on Friday morning he slept until 9:00! This morning it is 8:30 and he is still asleep. Now we just need to get him down before 10:00pm.

Look at the picture below carefully. Do you see where the sheet is? That is where Andrew should be sleeping. He turned himself around in the crib and moved to the other end. We are in trouble when he starts to crawl!


In other news, we are moving again. Our current landlord is selling this flat so our lease will not be renewed. We found a great place yesterday and put in our deposit for it. If we are approved, we will move in mid July. It is farther away from the city center (.8 miles). But it is cheaper and has more space.

Here is a video of Andrew playing with his toy. You can enjoy the music that we listen to all day long.

Here are 2 new posts.

I have been having fun taking videos of Andrew with our new camera. He is just so cute! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.



Jason says the first video is too long, but for Grandmas they can never be too long.

Great Grandma and Papa visit

We have had a busy couple of weeks. Andrew had hernia surgery on Wednesday the 4th. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday to get him checked out. They sent us to the Emergency department at the children's hospital. The surgeon decided Andrew needed surgery. So Andrew and I stayed overnight in the hospital. They were going to do his surgery sometime after 10:00am. He couldn't eat after 4am. We thought the morning was going to be awful because Andrew likes his food and is very impatient about waiting for it. However, he did so good. They did his surgery at 11:45am. They only used local anesthetic so he was able to come home the same day. Even though it was a scary experience, all went very well.

Andrew's Great Grandma and Papa came to visit the day after his surgery. They enjoyed spending time with him and we were able to visit a castle near Aberdeen as well as the city of Edinburgh. It was very warm in Edinburgh (about 70 degrees). The three of us were so hot! Guess we have adjusted to Scotland temps.


Andrew has always been an extremely active baby, even before birth. When we put him on his changing mat he will lay there for 5-10 minutes kicking his legs and moving his arms. We moved him from sleeping in his moses basket to his crib last week. He has been turning sideways in his crib and one night turned 180 degrees. He also turns himself like this when playing on the floor. He is rolling onto his side and really wants to roll all the way over.

Trip to Edinburgh

We realized the other day that Andrew was going to experience things in his first year that it took over 20 years for us to experience. He is only 7 weeks old and he has been on his first train ride, seen his first castle, and now has his own passport. Here he is sleeping on the train.

While our moms were here, we went on a 2 day trip to Edinburgh to see the sights and apply for Andrew's passport. We enjoyed a trip to the zoo. My mom said we should get Andrew out of the stroller and hold him up to the glass to see how the monkeys would respond. They came up to the glass to look at him. It was so funny.




Here are some random pics from the last few weeks. The bath pics below show how quickly Andrew's mood can change.

We were pretty impressed at him holding his own pacifier.

Here are a few others pictures from Dunnottar Castle.

New Pics

Andrew went to his first castle the other day. We started at the Stonehaven Harbour and walked about 1 1/2 miles along the coast to Dunnottar Castle (of course Andrew rode in his Snugli). It was a beautiful, sunny day.






Here are some other pics from our moms' visit.




This pose was so funny. Wonder what he was thinking?

Fun in the Sun

Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was sunny and warm. There is a field across the street from our flat with gorgeous flowers. We had fun taking some pictures.

The Grandma's Are Here

Both Grandma's arrived last Thursday. They are thoroughly enjoying Andrew. It has been very nice to have their help.



In a previous post I mentioned that Andrew would not sit in a bouncy seat we borrowed from friends. Well, Grandma Maston brought a bouncy seat for him and he likes it!

I love pictures of our little man sleeping. He looks so peaceful.
