4 months

Our little Drew has changed so much this past month. He is starting to laugh and smile a lot more. He likes to do crunches and wants to sit up so bad. He also loves to stand while being held. He has another cold which is about his third already, so sleeping has been a bit more difficult for him. He is a great baby and is so patient. He is happy and easy going for the most part. He takes a few naps a day but they are usually short, 40 minutes or so. He is in bed with us a lot still, but hopefully that will change when his stuffy nose is gone. He has a dry head that he scratches a lot but it is getting better. Jon pulled out the piano toy for him and his is loving sitting and playing on it. I will have to get a picture to put on here, it is on Jon's phone. Andrew is also doing much better at hanging on to toys and putting them in his mouth. At his 4 month check up he was 17.1 lbs and 25.5 inches. He is 80th percentile for weight and 65th for length. He is a big boy and mostly wears size 6 and 9 month clothes.

Valentine's Day

I was lucky enough to have 3 Valentines this year. I love having my 3 guys. On Friday Jon and I went to our Ward Valentine's Day party for a date. It was a lot of fun and we dominated the Newlywed game for the third year in a row. Then on actual Valentine's Day, we gave simple Valentines, gave Jackson a balloon and a piece of chocolate, and made pink sprinkled pancakes. Jackson wasn't too into the pancakes but that's ok. Then for dinner we did our traditional fondue and we let Jackson partake in lots of chocolate fondue...

Happy Little Valentine

Jon says he looks like a little Hitler :/

Andrew

I haven't updated much about this little guy yet. He is 3 months already!

He is a big boy and so strong! He holds his head up really well now. He tries to sit up and stand and does mini crunches. Andrew is snuggly and loves to sleep on our chests or snuggle in close to us. He has chubby cheeks, thighs, and tummy. He has a little hair but has lost some. He has some minor cradle cap and a hairy lower back. ;) He will totally be glad I documented that. He is a really good baby overall and has gotten better each day! 

Sleep was rough at first, he would stay up until midnight and struggle to stay asleep long at all. He ended up in bed with us a lot and it was no bueno. Andrew used to be really grunty and that seemed to keep him from sleeping well. We finally realized he needed to sleep on his tummy. So even though it is against the rules. we tried it and he sleeps way better now. We watched him close at first but now he can lift his head and turn it side to side so it doesn't worry us as much.

Andrew got pneumonia around 6 weeks old and we had to go to the ER. Thankfully he did not have RSV and was not hospitalized. Antibiotics did the trick and he is healthy and happy!

Andrew smiles all of the time now and laughs sometimes. He is happy and sweet most of the time but gets really fussy before bed. He scratches his head when he is tired just like Jackson did and Jon still does.

One month- I had to squeeze Andrew into this outfit. This is the outfit Jackson wore home from the hospital.

Jackson's Birthday/Andrew's Blessing

We decided to combine Jackson's birthday and Andrew's blessing since the timing worked out so For Jackson's 2nd birthday we kept things pretty simple and had a party at church with all the family that was in town for Andrew's blessing. We had pizza and of course cake and ice cream. Jon and his sister Megan did an awesome job on the cake. Jackson is such a fun boy, we love him so much! We gave him a double decker bus, a Lightening McQueen car, and the green bus Filmore from Cars. We also gave him a new sippie.

Before everyone came into town, we took Megan on our favorite hike to a waterfall. It was a beautiful day for it. A few days later everyone else came into town. Those who came up on Jon's side were: Megan, Jenna, Brian and Mandy (and 4 kids). And those on my side who came were my parents and Cameron and Sandra (and 5.5 kids).

I didn't get any great pictures of the blessing day- it was a crazy day. But this is the same outfit Jon wore and Jackson wore. It barely fit Andrew and I had to leave it unsnapped because it was too tight. He is a big boy! Almost 8 weeks old here!
