Singing Andrew

Andrew has been learning a whole bunch of songs from nursery at church and from singing with Daddy at bedtime.  These videos are from a couple of months ago but I can't resist sharing because they're so fun!

One day Andrew came into the kitchen with his little stool, set it down in the middle of the room and announced that he was going to sing a song.  After an extended rendition of Old McDonald (seriously, the video is almost 5 minutes long and I didn't even get the beginning) he sang a few shorter ones for me.  Enjoy!

Peek-a-Boo

Just wanted to share this gem from about a month ago.  I'm having so much fun being home with my little guy!

Babbling Baby

This boy is a chatterbox.

This is my life.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Water Baby

Andrew loves the water.  He has loved the water since his first bath.  I don't mean the sponge baths that just make babies confused and cold- I mean the first time he could have his bath in the big bathtub (in his bath seat) once his umbilical cord had fallen off and healed.

So I was really excited to take him to the pool for the first time.  We bought a float thing for him to sit in, a couple of swim diapers, a swim shirt and shorts, and a hat.  And we headed over to the pool.

Well, the water was much colder than his bath water.  No surprise here (except to Andrew).

He cried when we put him into his float.  He kept kicking around, trying to find something solid to put his feet on.  Poor kid didn't know how to handle being suspended in water.

So we just held him while we were in the water, or let him stand up on the steps, and he seemed to really enjoy the pool.  And he looked so dang cute too :)

The second time to the pool went even better.  We didn't bother with the float- we'll try again in a month or so.  The water was warmer, it was somewhat familiar, and he was less tired.

Now I'm really looking forward to spending the summer poolside with my water baby!

Naps on the Go

This is how to get a baby to sleep while at a noisy mall:

Andrew loves looking around at everything so when we're in public it's hard to get him to take a nap, even when he's really tired.  So I usually end up nursing him under a cover but then I'm stuck holding him until he wakes up.  This worked better.

He didn't sleep for long, but he got enough rest that he was happy for the rest of the outing.  Works for me :)

Sleeping Boys

When Aaron gets home from work, I usually hand Andrew off to him so I can get a break and so he can have some time with our son.  I usually either start dinner, use the computer, or get some things done around the apartment.  And unless he just had a nap, Andrew is often getting tired around that time for his last nap of the day.

It's pretty common that I come back in the room to find Andrew sleeping in Aaron's arms.  And Aaron is asleep too.  I like to take those opportunities to get out the camera.  Because honestly I think it's about the cutest thing ever :)
