I know we have to stop calling him this before he gets a complex. Remember how when we were pregnant, we referred to him as Chubby??
We joke that it’s pretty fitting. He’s our little meatball!
As I’ve said before, when we left the hospital, he was 6 lbs 5 oz, and he’s now about 13 lbs. And he’s only grown 2 inches!
Here’s a picture of our little meatball!
In other news, we are retiring the bassinet. The crib seems to be working out pretty well.
We’ve been determined all along to get him to put himself to sleep and it’s actually been working. Sometimes, he will talking to himself for up to an hour but will eventually get to sleep.
Unfortunately, we are a little reliant on the binky and some nights, it falls out of his mouth every 4 minutes. Over the baby monitor, it sounds something like this…
Suck, Suck, Suck (it sounds just like Maggie on The Simpsons)……..ph-too……..”ahh”….”ahhhhhhhhhh”…..a little more whining…
The mommies stir.
“I’ll go this time.”
“No, wait. He’s ok. Maybe he’ll fall back to sleep.”
WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
“It’s just another binky crisis. Okay, I’ll go.”
While we are very proud of him for being able to fall asleep by himself, we need to now work on the hours of sleep. Maybe by playing around with his daytime sleep hours.
He won’t go down until 11 or midnight and is usually up at 4 am and 6 am.
Doesn’t he realize that 11 pm is way past my bedtime!

That is a way cute picture. That is great that he is putting himself to sleep already. It will be the best thing you ever did. The binky crisis will end when he can find it himself and plop it back in.

Okay, just to give you a little perspective, Jacob is only 23lbs and will be 3 on July 3. So Andrew seems huge to me, but sooo cute. Enjoy your baby rolls I never got to pinch any!!! And definitely take lots of naked baby pictures, because chubby babies are way cuter necked then skinny ones like mine. When I take naked pics he looks like a starving Ethiopian child. Just a few reasons more to love your little guy not that you really needed any!
Love you guys
I am so bummed you live so far away

Love the blog! Looks great!!! Love the header!
Andrew is getting so big, not chubby. I love that you call him your little meatball. Too, too cute. I think he looks so much like Lois.
