Thank you everyone for your kind words and patience in wading through the story of US!
Enough about us, I should talk a little about the boy. Here’s a quick update. I left my camera at Lois’ parents’ house so it might be a few days before I have picture updates.
- We are over the 20 lb mark
- He’s falling sideways less and less while he’s sitting up, but when he does fall over, he needs a little help getting upright again
- Still LOVES his Jumperoo
- He reaches and grabs tightly anything and everything (including but not limited to, remotes, breast pump tubes while Momma L. is pumping, hair, necklaces, paper, food, etc. – anything but his toys)
- He’s now sleeping on his stomach and peeing out of his diapers by morning forcing his mommies to buy diapers they did not have coupons for
- despite the diligent efforts of his mommies, he still needs to go to a urologist to check out the skin that has re-attached on his
penis, I mean, winkie. Momma L. can’t seem to say the P word! LOL! - He’s on the fitted side of the Gymboree and Old Navy 6-12 size items and is pretty much almost out of size 3 diapers
- He’s now learned how to turn his head and push the bottle away with his hands when he wants solid foods
- He still won’t hold his own bottle
- He still loves letting himself be heard as much as possible on his own volume terms. There is no “inside voice”
- He’s ticklish
- He loves being startled repeatedly with Boo! even though he jumps every time.
- He loves Peek a Boo!
- Mommy H. still hasn’t got the multi-media package/knowledge together to put his video highlights online. We’re hoping to accomplish this before he’s 2.
- He still doesn’t want to spend enough time on his belly to work on that crawling thing. We’re not rushing that one.
- He really notices and loves other little kids/babies. K* is his bestest buddy and he likes trying to pull K*’s hair or stick his finger up K*’s nose or in his eye.
- His little satin bear blanket (or his Yankees taggie blanket) can calm him down from a major meltdown
- He just graduated into the 6 month Nuk binkys
We had a busy weekend and it’s going to be a crazy work week.
Tomorrow night, look for Mommy H. sitting 7 rows behind the Yankee dugout as they play the Red Sox. I know, I know, the Yankees have been deflating of late. I’ll be wearing my pinstripes and a yellow hat and most likely chowing on a stadium dog. I’m sure I already blew my Weight Watchers points for the week, so what the hell.

Sounds like he’s a big guy! Can’t wait to see Riley’s stats but her doctor’s on vacation so it’ll be September for her appointment.
Riley and Andrew are doing a lot of the same things. Isn’t it fun how everything must be grabbed? You have to be careful now! LOL
Have fun at the game! I should hit a Jays game this summer but probably won’t. Angele works for a sports tv station so she doesn’t like going to games for fun. LOL

How cute is he. 20lbs really. He’s a big boy.
Don’t you love how they can play peek o boo a MILLION times and never get sick of it.
We had to use the Huggies Nighttime diapers at night for a while. It seems that around 9 months they stopped having pee outs.
Have fun at the game. If I WATCHED I would TOTALLY look for you

20 lbs! Go Andrew!!! He’s getting so big!
I’m so jealous about the game! Weight Watcher points don’t count in baseball, or football!!!

Dee beat me to it! No way do points count when you’re at a sporting event of any kind. Isn’t it actually a rule you have to consume ice cream and cotton candy as well as a hot dog or four?
Cousin’s baby Sumo is 8.5 months and is gonna be into his 18 mo outfits any day now. I’m SO glad I bought his fall stuff big.
