16 weeks

My baby is 16 weeks!!!!! (Well, tomorrow he is...but still.) So, what is Andre up to at 16 weeks, you ask? So many things! He is growing up way to fast and this mama isn't ready for it!so here is a glimpse into what my little man is up to:

-He is super smiley, especially when he wakes up! This little man will smile pretty much every time I talk to him!

-He is a sleeping ROCKSTAR!!!! Andre sleeps 10+ hours a night! We put him down anytime between 7-8 pm and I normally have to wake him up in the morning before I leave for work. This makes for a VERY happy mama!

-Andre can roll over from his belly to his back but he doesn't like to do it for me! He does it the most at day care and for daddy but daddy was able to get him to do it for me too.

-He loves to talk to you! Everyday when I get home from work, Andre and I have a conversation about his day at day care. He coos and jabbers away and I absolutely love it! I look forward to many many more chats in our future.

-He can sit in his bumbo seat and excersaucer and enjoys being able to sit up and look around. He has excellent head and neck control while sitting in them but will eventually lean to one side. It's pretty adorable.

-He has started following Keena around with his eyes and watches her move. When she comes and sniffs him he gets all smiley and happy. I know someday he is going to be in love with that girl! He doesn't, however, like when she shakes her head! It startles him pretty much every time...so much so we make sure her collar isn't on in the house!

-He is overall a very sweet, happy little guy! He's growing like a weed, his thrush is FINALLY gone and his umbilical hernia is almost completely healed. We are madly in love with him and he makes our lives complete! It's amazing how this little tiny person can only be in our lives for 16 weeks and yet I cannot imagine our lives without him. I am so blessed to be his mommy and I thank The Lord everyday for allowing me to be!

Photo Shoot

Aunt Allie came up to visit us on the 4th of July weekend! She was able to come up Thursday night and stay until Sunday! It was SO nice to spend time with her and she finally got to see where we live up here! We did a mini photo shoot of Andre while she was here. Andre is so photogenic! :)

Blogger Fail: Filing Blogger Bankruptcy

So, if you haven't realized it by now...I'm a terrible blogger!!! I have not posted anything in at least two months! SO many things have happened since the last time I posted but instead of trying to catch up with a million different posts I am going to post pictures of Andre and our little family that we have taken over the last couple of months. Hopefully if I claim "blogger bankruptcy" and start fresh from now on out I'll be able to keep up with it! So, for those of you missing my baby....here is what he has been up to!

Andre's first bath! He loves baths now but wasn't a fan of the first few.

He used to love sucking his thumb when he was upset...luckily we got him on the pacifier. Its a lot easier to take the paci away!

Father son cuddles.

Every time he would eat his little toes would be like this for the whole bottle! Maybe he was making room for all the milk?

We started him young on holding his own bottle. :)

One month photo with comparison to Keena. Keena wasn't so sure about laying next to this little "puppy" that was screaming!

Daddy can multitask!

My muscle.

First Mother's Day.

First time meeting his cousins! They all too turns holding him. They all love their little cousin....but Lilah is OBSESSED with him!

It takes four people to feed him

People make fun of me for putting my baby in a "straight jacket" but let me tell you...it works!

Tummy time  rock star!

Even superheros need naps

Visiting Gavin at Riley after his surgery!

My birthday!

2 month photo shoot with Keena. I had a major mom fail and didnt take one for his 3rd month! It's ok...we'll get back to it with month 4!

"Whatchu talking bout WIllis?"

Little man at our cousin's Shikina and Sean's wedding!

Party time at the reception.

Building  his little brain already. My baby is going to be so smart!

After bath! Look at the little rolls!

We found this crazy sleeper that barely fit him at the bottom of his drawer. It has leaves and porcupines all over it. I put the crazy socks on him to keep him warm....I thought he looked so goofy and he thought it was funny!

First 4th of July!

They are so sweet when they are sleeping.....but when they wake up craziness ensues.
