7 months for Andrew!

Our sweet baby is doing his very best to grow up QUICKLY!  He started crawling June 18th and hasn't looked back!  Zachary is his inspiration- he watches closely and then tries to imitate.

His latest move is to crawl to the stairs and pull himself up to standing!  He's happy, but not satisfied-- and then starts to try to climb UP  the stairs!  He's made it to the 2nd step with me spotting him.  Josh isn't happy that I let him go that far- he doesn't to encourage him.  :)  Andrew- you're CRAZY motivated little one!!  :)

what?  don't 6 mo babies climb stairs?!

Another thing Andrew is very interested in is eating.  He holds food, plays with it, mashes it, throws it (accidentally) and swipes it by his mouth.  He doesn't eat much, but he definitely enjoys sitting with us at the kitchen table!

He's had samples of the following:
banana
avocado
pickle
pretzel rod
bread crust
pancake
sweet potato fry
peach
watermelon

local peaches are yummy!

Andrew's sweet personality is emerging more and more.  With Zach, he is enamored.  Zach can easily get a smile or chuckle from him.  In the nursery, he's a favorite, and they always remark how happy he is. He loves to be around people, loves to smile and 'talk' to us.  He is babbling ' dadadadada ' more than anything else.  No wonder either- his Dada is the coolest!

Andrew's sleeping is fantastic.  He takes 2 good naps a day and sleeps 11-12 hours at night.  

At his 6 month appointment, he was 28.5" long and 18 lbs 14oz heavy.  Very healthy!

We're in love with this sweet one!!
