Week Six

The above look is the look I'd assume he's make when he sees the one of him in the bear hat. And, yes, that is my super star son holding himself up with his strong neck.This is the adorable bear hat I ordered from Etsy to take his sleeping newborn pictures in (you know, the ones we never got to take because my son doesn't sleep at night).The past two weeks Andrew has changed a great deal. His head has gotten a lot larger and he's growing rolls on his neck and tiny ones on his legs.


Friday, May 13, he began smiling directly at mommy (and Aunt Melissa too) which was super wonderful!


Saturday, May 14: Left with Aunt Melissa for five hours while Mommy and Daddy attend Louie and Kristen's wedding (Mommy missed him a lot and Daddy was ready to check into a hotel).


Sunday, May 15: Moves up to 3.5 oz per feeding (from 3) but continues to be a piglet, screaming when he's being burped. Monday, May 16: Discovered his love of the crib mobile, especially the car and tow truck. As it rotates around, he smiles and coos, kicks his legs and throws his hands up and down.


Monday-Wednesday, May 16-18: Stops sleeping during the day for longer than 30-45 minutes at a time and we hit the 6-week growth spurt. Stops failing asleep in the car and stroller unless he's moving for extended time periods. Andrew eats every 1.5-3 hours and is super fussy.


Thursday, May 19: Grandma comes to spend a few days and witness that Andrew does not sleep during the day (total of 2 hours of naps). Starts sleeping at night again with a 5 hour stretch usually from 8:30 pm to 1:45 am.


Friday, May 20: finds his hands!! Grandpa comes out and the whole family walks to the Plaza for lunch and exercise.


Saturday, May 21: 6 weeks old


Reese is a bit lonely and attention starved--feel sorry for her with these sad eyes.

First Eating Out Trip

On Saturday, we went out to eat with Drew!!

Nicole and Linda came to visit for the day and shared the experience with us.

Melissa also came to hang out.

Nicole and Jenni, BFFs since '94
Andrew slept the entire time!

At the very end of the meal, Drew started fussing and was pretty darn wet. Melissa and I changed him in the bathroom and, of course, took pictures!

skinny legs missing his pants!!

Baby Milestone

Last night, Dave felt the baby kicking. He was patient enough to sit there with his hand on my tummy as we laid in bed and it finally paid off. At first, Baby was barely kicking (more pushing), but quickly it turned into full kicks that Dave couldn't miss. Very exciting.

We also continued the name debate--right now we're choosing between these two:

Andrew Blake
Andrew: strong, manly, and courageous
Blake: attractive and dark
Luke B____
Luke: bringer of light and truth
haven't agreed on a middle name yet, but it will start with a B
Bryant: strong, virtuous, honorable
Benjamin: son of my right hand
Any opinions?
