"my baby brother"

we're still here

pics coming soon. busy week, not enough sleep, and a certain little somebody going through his 6 week growth spurt (translation: catnaps during the day punctuating long, frequent nursing sessions). and since i'm not so good at typing 1-handed, a real post will have to wait until later!

1 month checkup

Andrew went to see the pediatrician on his 5 week birthday. According to the ped, he's in the 90th percentile for weight at his age. 80% for length, and 50% for head circumference.
Evyn's measurements were very similar at this age - except that her head circumference was always over 90th percentile :)

birth:______ 8# 6oz ______20.5" long______ 14.5" hc
1 week: ____7# 12oz_____ 20.5" long ______14" hc
1 month: __11# 4 oz _____22.38" long _____15" hc

time flies

Andrew is a month old. How did that happen?!
Next doctor appointment scheduled for Thursday 4/16.
Can't wait to see his measurements. We weighed him here at home and - are you ready for this? - he's up to 11.5 pounds! He's gotten much longer, too - he is too big for some of his 0/3 month sleepers.




He still LOVES his slings. Yes, I am still in PJ's at 11am. Be kind, us old folk look a little rough without our hair and makeup done.


Easter morning, checking out the loot:


Later in the afternoon we went to Randy & Rosalie's house for the Martin family Easter gathering.


They had the annual Easter egg hunt for Evyn & Scott's cousin Lizzie. Evyn was less than enthused to go outside - she had already been knocked down by one of the overly-friendly dogs. I sent Scott out with her to make her feel better. Still, the dog got her again! The whole way home in the car, Evyn talked about "Bad Cooper." We promised next year, if Cooper is there, we'll get someone to put him on the leash. She did have a great time hunting eggs, though, and has been playing Egg Hunt around our house ever since.







The two Japanese exchange students seemed to be very interested in the whole egg hunt activity!
