Week 9 -Well Baby Checkup

What a great week we had!!! First lets talk about Andrew's Well Baby Checkup. He weighs in at 13lbs 3oz (85th percentile) and is 23 inches long (50th percentile). Dr. says Andrew is very strong, extremely social, has amazing head control and that he was a BIG baby. I know I am not suppose to, but lets compare Andrew and Aiden's stats...at 2 months Aiden was 15lbs 7oz (off the charts) and 23 3/4inches long (95th percentile).

This week Andrew slept through the night 3 TIMES!!! Woo hoo for mommy. Mommy got brave and took the boys to the zoo all by ourself this week and mommy and daddy took the boys to the snow. We had a blast at both places!!!! Andrew is awake more now than ever and plays on the floor by himself. He is even starting to grab at toys on his excersaucer. He clutches toys in his hands and like to suck on the corner of his blankets. He sits in the Baby Bjorn while mommy does all kinds of things like laundry, dishes and even cleans ceiling fans. He is a complete joy to be around...except for when he is spitting up...hahaha.

Aiden is becomoing more and more protective over Andrew and really tries to help. Today at the doctor's Aiden told Andrew "Its OK Andrew, It's a shot...be brave." It was a very sweet moment for me...even the nurse paused to say something to Aiden. We took Aiden to play in the snow this week for th efirst time and daddy helped him make a huge ice tower with sand toys. Aiden went to his first softball game this week. Tiffer's (Uncle Brian's girlfriend) picked him up and they watched the game. He had a good time and was exhausted when he got home...bonus for mommy!!!!

I think we have finally hit our groove and I think I have the hang of this parenting thing of 2 boys. It's been an adventure and I am finally buckled up and ready for the ride!!!!
