Andrew is now 9 months old and is making a lot of changes! Time really does go by so quickly. I feel like he should still be 4 months old. While Grandma Grandpa Engstrom were here Andrew just really took off. He was getting up on all fours and able to scoot around and sit himself back up before they got here. But this last week he crawled across the room. Jo saw that and said to me "Oh, Jenalyn you life will never be the same." So true. I have friends that have given me all of their safety gates because now it is time to baby proof. Some other big mile stones; he cut his 2ND tooth, pulls up on everything, and has stood by himself for a few seconds.
He has had his first Christmas, first New Year, first statue of liberty trip. Now that he has teeth his face is changing. He is looking more like a toddler. I recently introduced some lil'crunchies and he LOVES being able to pick up his own food and put it in his own mouth. Although he still eats his baby jar food I can tell that he wants everything that we have on our plates. He has learned that if he screams and waves his hands then I will find something from the table for him to eat.
Because Andrew has been our baby that has spit-up and drooled the most Josh has pegged him with this nick name of Goobs. I really don't like it but I have to admit that it does fit him. From the time that he was born until recently he was always throwing up. There have been many lil outfits that have not survived his goo. While Grandpa was here the nick name evolved into Sargent Goobs. Zach got the name Heavy Z (i think because he enjoyed jumping on Grandpa) and Adam remained A-Bomb.
Oh yeah, another change that has come about it he just LOVES books. His favoriet is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See" He has to read it every time I put him down to sleep. He has his cute little smile on his face the whole time we are reading. LOVE it!
(I finally figured out that if I ate dark chocolate then that would upset him.) I'm sure that I've missed some thing
