The last 3 weeks

We've been so busy I have been unable to blog about all the awesome things Andy is doing now. By far the biggest news to report is that he now has TWO teeth! Not 1, but 2! About 2 weeks ago tooth #1 finally broke thru. It was a rough weekend and it cause my poor little guy much pain. But I am happy that we had no fever, only 1 loose stool diaper and minimal wake-ups at night. Other than that he took it like a champ! Tooth #2 broke thru a week ago and came in right next to tooth #1. So Andy now has his 2 bottom teeth. Exciting stuff! I mean we waited a whole year for this!

4th of July

We spent 4th of July at Brookside Park in view of the fireworks show at the Rose Bowl. Family tradition. Unfortunately G wasn't able to join us this year since he had to work, but we made the most of it anyway.

Andy had a blast at the park. He was crawling and cruising all over the place. Going from person to person eating and playing. He really tired us all out. Here he is getting his first feel of dirt.

I was pretty worried about the fireworks show. I wasn't sure how Andy would react. But I worried for nothing because he did great! He just stared at the big light show very seriously. Almost like he wasn't sure how to react to it all. I held him tight during the big/loud ones, but he was totally fine.

So much so that he fell asleep half way thru! He must have been REALLY worn out. Andy isn't the type of kid that falls asleep anywhere. He needs a quiet bed.

All in all it was a great day. Perfect weather. Looking forward to next year!

Andy Stands - Video

This is video 3 of 2. [It was with my photo camera so I edited all 3 videos together but it's too big for blogger :-/] The first video has Andy sitting when we found him. Once we were in the room he wouldn't sit on his own. But as soon as we helped him sit he stood right up. It's a crack up.

You can also see his new trick at the end of the video where he puts his arms up when I say "up." Cutest thing. Whenever he was sitting in his highchair I always would say up and put my arms up and then say down and put them down. I was giving him dinner last night and I did it and Andy did it with me. First time. So cute. Then I tried it again when he was standing in his crib an he did it! Such a show off!

The video is almost 5 minutes. You can skip forward to about the 2 minute mark to see him stand.

Video!

If only my memory card didn't suck this video would be a little longer. But we finally caught him on camera!
