Andrew is 6 months!!

My little man turns 6 months old today!! He is weighing in at 20lbs and is 27 inches long. It is crazy that he is growing up SO fast!!

He is a very happy baby. He goes down for naps and bed really easy IF you don't wait too long to put him down. He is rolling ALL OVER the place!! He loves his brother Tyler and putting everything he can get his hands on in his mouth! He is still trying to get the hang of eating by spoon. We finally found a food he likes...applesauce. We will continue trying different foods and hopefully find some more things he likes! He is going to get in trouble as soon as he starts getting around, I can tell by this look!!

He recently found his tongue and has been playing with it the last couple days. It is really cute and funny! He curls it up and makes it super pointy at the end. He is such a joy in our home! He has his dad wrapped around his finger...his mom too!! I can't wait to see what the next six months bring!!

Andrew is FIVE months old!!

Andrew turns FIVE MONTHS old today!! It is hard to believe he growing SO fast!! He is such a good baby!! He is happy most of the day and he takes great naps! We have tried feeding him food a few times and I think he will get the hang of eating soon! We also decided that he is old enough to learn to drive so we gave it a shot...

LOL!!! It was really cute how he grabbed on while we were waiting for my mom so we got this great picture.

He is VERY curious about everything and grabs EVERYTHING that comes close to him!!

He is very happy and smiles all the time and laughs A LOT!!

He LOVES his toes!! Everytime we take his pants off to change his diaper he grabs them and puts them in his mouth. It is quite cute and funny!

Family history

I have been attending a family history class at church on Sunday's and it has been A LOT of fun. Last week we were talking about family traits and if we have ever wondered where we get certain traits from. Andrew has these cute little ears that poke out at the top and both Mike and I have wondered where they come from. I got the big McArthur ears and so did Tyler, poor guy, but we had never seen the cute ears that poke out.

Well I was looking through some old pedigree charts that I have, looking for the name Andrew. I knew that I had found it on a pedigree chart but couldn't remember which one. I thought it would be fun to find out who the Andrew was that we named Andrew after. While flipping through my file I found this picture...
It is my great grandpa Wilford Lorenzo Peterson. And look at those ears!!! It was SO much fun to find this picture and find where those ears come from!! I think I am really going to be able to get into this family history stuff!!

Silly boy

Here are some silly faces from my little man, in a shirt that Mike bought for him.

Concerned...

silly...
pouty lip, sad boy...
Happy boy...

He is so silly and plays a lot with his faces. It is so fun! It is easy to get him to play with me and get him to laugh. He also plays with his hands a lot, you can kind of see it in the pics. He makes us laugh a lot and brings so much joy to our lives!!

Andrew rolling over

Andrew practicing how to roll...

Step one...lay on back

Step two...roll on side
Step three...roll onto stomach, he just needs to figure out what to do with that arm!!

He finally got the whole thing figured out on October 13th. I missed the first time of course, but I caught this one a couple hours later.

My HAPPY boys

Here are my HAPPY boys! It is pretty rare to get a picture of both of them smiling! They were having a major conversation this day and it must have been funny because they were both laughing. I love seeing how my boys interact with each other!! It is SOO fun having them in my life! They bring me such joy!

Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year! It was a little difficult to come up with an idea for costumes, but when it came it was a fantastic idea and turned out great!! Here are my boys...farmer Tyler and his "crop" Andrew.

Happy hot pepper Andrew ready to be "harvested".

Here are farmer Mike and farmer Tyler in his tractor with the "crop" Andrew.

Mike did a great job making Tyler's tractor. It turned out great and he did it in record time! It only took about 90 minutes. I was pretty sure it was not going to happen, but it did!

Here we all are at the ward trunk-or-treat. We had a very fun evening!
