7th months!! He's closer to being a year than a newborn!

So, I can't say enough that

"Time Flies!" Here is our sweet 7 month old.

We got these little cowboy boots as a gift

and we put them on him today to see how

they looked, only to find out he's practically

out-grown them! It's amazing to me how

fast he's growing. In the

past month he's mastered sitting up, rolling

everywhere (I call it Roller Derby) and

fighting getting ANYTHING changed!! Oh, and

waiting on his two front teeth to brake through.

Teething has made sleep hard on him...and me. This is Andrew's buddy Elena, she's 3 weeks older than him. She crawls and LOVES getting close to Andrew. He's okay with it until she pushes him over and goes in for kisses! No really, she does and I have a video to prove it! Her mom and I couldn't stop laughing. Daddy put him in this bucket and he was elated! Actually, he has a love affair with the bucket. Of all the toys he has he wants to be around the bucket! I really could have saved a few bucks knowing a bucket would do the trick. Here, he's in to everything but his toys! Again, Harper is always close by. Drew loves when the high chair tray is taken off. I think he thinks he really big stuff with no tray, it's real cute. While he's smiling in this picuture, he wasn't before the camera came out (he's becoming a real ham in front of the camera) do to his dislike for carrots. What you might not know is there is a picture of me about his age where I am showing my dislike of carrots. I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree! He loves his football! I swear it's innate!

He's a total goof ball!

Like I said earlier, he's becoming real ham

in front of the camera. I have a series of photos

from this shoot where he appears to be posing

all over the place. The one above is probably

my favorite!

Such a good sport! Andrew really does go with

the flow. He didn't mind these silly bunny ears

on him at all. And, if I'm out running errands he's

real good about being patient. As long as he's

fed, changed and has had a little nap (I call them

"snaps") he's a total trooper. Unless his two front

teeth are bothering him. All and all Mike and

I are so blessed.

Tags, remotes, sitting up, oatmeal, meat, walks and throwing things

These are a few of my favorite things!Dadddy and me being goofy!
Tags are so fasinating to me, I love sucking on them.
Forget teething toys, just give me tags!

Oh can I have the camera mom?

Look at my neat St. Paddy's Day Snoopy shirt!

Grandma and Grandpa Moro gave it to me. Thank you!

Top O' the mornin' to ya!

I really am a 1/16th Irish! I gotta celebrate!

One of the few pictures of me with both my Mommy

and Daddy. They took me to my first parade!

The ever famous city bus in the parade! It's better then last year,

this year it had a face on it!

It was a sunny day and the St. Paddy's Day parade

was a hit! I love being outside these days.

I loved seeing and hearing the bag-pipers!

I'm working on sitting up right now, I've almost got it.

My Doctor thinks I'll be crawling soon, I can't wait!

I'm 6 1/2 months old and I've got a lot going on. I think I'm

teething again cause I've got real thick drool and I like my

fingers in my mouth. I weigh 15 lbs and 4oz, Doc says I'm a

little fella but I feel big! Mom started feeding me oatmeal and

my doctor told her to try some baby meats SO I get squash and

a turkey combo, I love it! My hair is coming in real nice my

mom and dad love it. Still jumping in my jumper, it's my favorite

pass time...besides walks outside. I'm real busy and keeping

my mom and dad busy too!

6 Months!!!

Happy Birthday Nana! We got to spend Kim's

Birthday with her at Bin! Great company and

yummy food.This is a morning shot of Andrew on his 6 month birthday!

Mike and I can't believe we've had him for 6 months,

he's growing SO fast. Between learning to sit up and

rolling back and forth he'll be crawling before we know it!

We're so blessed to have such a wonderful little boy.

Grandma Patti and Grandpa Dennis had lots of

goodies for Andrew's 6 month mark. Two VERY

cute outfits and this walker!! He is a little short for it

right now but his tip toes touch the ground enough

for him to walk backwards! Such a big boy!

Cutie, in his overalls from Grandma and Grandpa!
Yah! Don't worry he didn't get to eat it, I think
Grandpa ate it for him.

The new hair color...thank goodness!!

Our little ham!! He thinks he so cool that he gets

to roll over on his changing pad! Of course I had to

get a shot of his buns cause they're SO DANG cute! Andrew helped me vacuum the house and this was

the result of that adventure. He's a fine little helper!

Happy 6 months little baby boy!! We love

you so much!

Some of Drew's favorite things...

Mike and I ventured out this weekend to one of our favorite little pubs, Pug Mahones. Unfortunately, we're finding that dinners out have to be VERY early or the babe melts down cause it bumps into his bedtime. :( Anyway, he was cracking us up that night cause he was totally going nuts on Mike's beer glass. With the teething going on, he'll put anything in his mouth so while it looks like he was loving Mike's beer, it's actually the cool feel of the glass on his teeth.

This next one he is a little less enthusiastic then he usually is, but still very animated. If you look closely you'll see his two bottom teeth! Such a joy!

Our sweet boy is growing so fast!

This is such a Mike look, I had to post it! My

jury is still out as to who he looks like. Andrew

has certain expressions that make him look a

lot like his Daddy. But I feel like he has my nose,

eyes and smile. Who knows, either way he's

pretty darn cute! I love his hand placement in this picture. Oh,

and thanks again Aunt Kendra for Andrew's

cowboy outfit! The cowboy hat almost fits!

A playdate with my good friend Elena, we had
fun watching Baby Eienstien!

This feels SOO good on my teeth. Thanks Sofie

the giraffe, I'm in heaven.

Grandpa Moro, I know you want me to be in

the Army but this is how I feel about that right

now! Boo hoo!

Oh goodie, I get to go on a walk!

Grandpa Dennis, I'm practicing my guitar!

Thanks Uncle Stephen for my exersaucer!

Mom and Dad picked this up for me when we

got home after visiting you at Christmas.
I REALLY like sucking on the bird, it's my favorite!

Harper stays close by and always makes sure

Andrew is okay. In fact, sometimes when he's

crying in his room Harper sits outside his door.

It's real cute!

My sweet husband sent pink tulips from my

baby boy and stargazers/roses from him on

Valentine's day. We also got to go out to

dinner while Nana and Papa played with Drew!
It was a super fun treat! Thank you again!

Whether Andrew is down for the night or for

a nap he LOVES his monkey and keeps him

close by. You'll see here he's holding

his tail! I've never really liked monkies, but,

there are some cute ones out there right now,

and I can't argue with something that comforts

Andrew.

Ugh, he's already tech savvy!

Stealing a moment in my mama's arms!

We babysat Elena last night while Becca

and her husband Mike went out for a birthday dinner. We

enjoyed her company and boy does she give

good kisses!

At one point Andrew was trying to put Elena's

pacifier in her mouth. Here, he's trying to take it

and put it in his mouth! Silly kids!

Such sweet times. I never knew Mommyhood

could be so great! I wish I was five years younger

so I could have a few more. I think I have enough

energy left for one more!

Love and miss you all!

5 months and 10 days!

I can't believe my sweet baby boy is pretty much

5 1/2 months old! He's growing so fast, not just

physically but mentally as well. Mike and I are

always so intrigued watching him process new

things and figure out how stuff works. He's so

much fun and we're SO blessed! It seems like he's had a few big mile stones

in the past few weeks. One of which is wearing

jeans for the first time since they finally fit! Oh

and Mike would be bummed if I didn't point out

the driving shoes.

Andrew is getting so much chubbier and I
LOVE kissing his cheeks and biting his thighs.
He laughs so hard when I bite those chubby
little things!
This is just a sweet picture. And, he can finally
wear the Cougar onesies that Uncle Jamie and
Aunt Kendra sent him. They look so natural on him!
Uncle Jamie had this made special for Drew.
Daddy is SO proud of it!

Daddy and Drew at home together. As usual

having a blast. His daddy makes him

smile so much.

Another big milestone is Andrew is rolling over!

He's real good at rolling on to his tummy and

continues to work hard on getting back to his

back. Just last night he rolled onto his tummy

in his crib and I found him sleeping that way!

He may end up being like his mommy and

love to sleep on his tummy.

I had to snap this shot of him watching Baby Einstein.

I thought he looked so cute laying there on his Boppy

lounger with his pacifier and blankey. He looks like

such a big boy.

Andrew started solid foods last month and the past

week has transitioned into his highchair. It's still

a little big so we cushion it with blankets. On

Tuesday, Feb. 1st I discovered Andrew's first tooth!
Hence the frozen baby wash cloth, he loves it

and it works great! It appears that the second

bottom tooth is emerging but hasn't made it's way

out quite yet. I've heard teeth can come and go,

this one is for sure. He's fussy here and there

but is doing pretty good, he's a tough little guy.

Yesterday was Grandma Patti's birthday and so

we made her some brownies and sent her and

Dennis out for a lunch date. Happy Birthday!

Daddy has been dying to have Drew wear this

hat, he looks pretty cute.

I don't know if you know this but on the days that

I work, Andrew stays with Grandma Patti and

Grandpa Dennis. It sure makes going to work

easier knowing he's in such great hands.

Here Andrew is with his Great Grandma Ann.

And, last but certainly not least we wanted to show

Aunt Lurr how proud Andrew is of his new picture.

We were so thrilled to open up a package from

Lorissa this past Friday and not only get a few fun

Valentine items but also get this fabulous picture!

The picture references when U of M played the

Cougs, it's amazing and we LOVE it! It'll be

a picture that follows him forever. Thank you!

My baby is growing so fast. I feel like I can't

keep up with all the new stuff going on.

I've also decided with all the new stuff going on,

it's hard to blog often. SO, I hope you don't mind

the long Blogs.

Babies babies babies!

My sister-in-law is pregers and she and her

husband (Mike) are expecting their first

baby late June/early July!! We're SO excited!

We get to find out here in the next two weeks

what they're having. Jaime is about 18.5 weeks

pregnant in this picture. She's probably 20 weeks now?

We can't wait to meet our new niece or nephew!

Now, if we could get the "three" of you to move to

Billings!!
