May Happenings..

May has been such a crazy month and it flew by! It started out busy and is still going strong now that we are at the end of the month.

On the 11th, we celebrated Levi's first birthday! We just had a little family party that night. Can you tell this boy is spoiled??

The next day (on Andrews 7 month birthday!) Ashlea threw Levi a sesame street themed party. I think Andrew loved the ball pit more than anything else!

 

A week later on the 18th, It was Charlotte's first time to turn one! Megan threw her a little party. I'm pretty positive Levi thought it was his party again. Megan did a great job because he actually  liked Charlotte's more than his!

Charlotte got a new turtle sandbox (with no sand) which Andrew loved.  Apparently, he just needs the simple things sometimes! 

That same afternoon, we loaded up for a week to the beach. Me and Andrew rode down with my mom since Sam couldn't take off the whole week. Once Sam made it down, we got to celebrate with a date night to the movies. We haven't seen a movie since before Andrew was born and it was so nice!

Such a handsome boy!

 

It's always nice to get away and do something different but I'm thankful to to be home. I missed my bed and I think Andrew did as well. He had a couple rough night while we were there and guess what I like to blame?

 

A tooth!  Finally, the poor boy has been working on it forever!

 

I think June may be a bit more low key which is fine with me. We don't have anything exciting planned until the end of the month when our family will grow once more! Maggie will be here in just a few short weeks!

Andrew is 7 months!

My sweet boy is 7 months old!

Let's see what you are up too..

You weight about 17 pounds.

You are in a size 3 diaper and 3-6 (and some 6-12) month clothes.  You are in 6-9 month pajamas though.

You are a night owl.  You go to bed between the hours of 9-11 most nights.  Seriously.  There are still several nights you get up but at the same time you will sleep through until 6ish.  This is something you got from you daddy because I still need my sleep 7 months later. (Last night you did sleep 9-6 straight which was a-maz-ing.. let's go for that again!)

You talk.  All the time.  You have started making this dinosaur/alien shrill sound and you love hearing it. I record videos of you doing it and you like to watch yourself, I think you think you have found someone that speaks your language (got that idea from Aunt Meg!)

You want to be moving so bad!  When someone holds you, you are constantly kicking your legs wanting to go somewhere.  You have also started taking "steps" while I hold your hands.  As for crawling, you can lean forward and get on your tummy, but you haven't figured out pushing yourself up.  That is perfectly fine because I have a feeling once you start moving, you won't stop.

You try and pull up on everything!  I thought you sitting by yourself would be easier but now I can't turn my back on you because you are trying to pull up on something. 

I feel like it took you forever to eat baby food and now I think you are done with it.  You want real food.  I try and give you a little bit of whatever we are eating.  Your favorites are watermelon and any type of bread (finally, something you got from me!). 

It is so funny how totally different you are then I ever imagined.  When I was pregnant, you were such a calm baby.  I never felt you really kick, I would just feel a roll and shift of positions.  I would sit in the sonogram room forever because you wouldn't budge out of the position you were in.  I just knew you would be laid back and calm.  You can be very laid back but at then five minutes later, you are the exact opposite. Of course, I love my crazy boy!  I just think you might be right along Levi (and Maggie most likely) causing trouble .. Charlotte is going to have her hands full of taking care of yall!
