Andrew - Week 14 (Christmas)

Christmas was a blast! The extended family descended upon us, and it was great to have everyone under the same roof at the same time. Andrew was the big winner when it came time to open the presents, and I suspect this is a trend that will continue for quite some time.

Andrew's fine motor control has been improving steadily and he's now grabbing and sorta kinda manipulating things with his hands. He's also figured out how to roll over from his back on to his tummy, which means he can now roll off of things like the changing table or the bed so we'll have to be extra careful where we leave him.

Roll Over

Andrew learned a new trick!

Andrew - Week 13

We went on our first "big" trip this week - a three day weekend at Tahoe to celebrate Emily's birthday. Charity and I switched off on snowboarding and taking care of Andrew at the house Danny rented.

While the trip threw off Andrew's routine, it gave us a good idea of what to expect when traveling with a baby. Key discovery? We need to make sure we have a laundry machine wherever we're going or we'd better be prepared with lots of clothing for Andrew.

On our way back, we stopped to spend some time with grandma and grandpa in Sacramento, and Andrew got to meet his Atcho (his great grandpa).

Andrew - Weeks 11 and 12

Nothing much to report for the past couple weeks. He's cooing and "talking" a lot more, and is quite a bit more fun now that he's more more interactive.

We've also been on a shopping spree for him, so get ready to see him in a bunch of new outfits! I'm afraid I might be getting spoiled by the pre-Christmas sales though because my benchmark is now $10 for a complete outfit...

Andrew - Week 10

Whew! He's normalizing again. New this week: we've started using his crib, so he's now sleeping alone in his room at night.
