Andrew at 4 months

Took a lil photo shoot with Andrew today.  He usually is totally distracted/straight-faced with cameras but he must be getting the concept, cause he kind of started smiling today.  He also kind of smiled at Grandpa Gary through FaceTime.  We love Andrew-he's a totally chill baby (like Jake was) and is super happy.  He only fusses right before nap times when he's getting tired, or when Jake is crying really loud-then he gets this SUPER pout that will inevitably make everyone looking at him gasp and say "awwww".  (he has a powerful pout).  

He can kinda hold up his head and chest during tummy time for a few minutes at a time if he wants to, and is super steady in the bumbo seat.  He takes 3 naps a day @10:30,  1:30, and 6:00, and goes to bed at 10:00 and sleeps til 7:30/8:00.  I think we'll work on moving his bed time earlier (around 7:30/8:00) once he's down to 2 naps a day and eating some solids, so prolly around 6 months.  He has become super smiley and is really good at these short lil gut laughs, but hasn't out and out giggled a lot yet.  These past few months Andy has had to take some medicine to reduce the acidity in his tummy so that his reflux wouldn't burn/leave his throat raw.  His reflux has def gotten less and less frequent and so the dr has us not increasing his dosage so that, as he grows, he's naturally and gradually weaning himself off of it, so we'll see if he doesn't need it anymore.  So far he seems to not be bothered by the shrinking dosage-fingers crossed!  We'll be going in for his 4 month appointment next week so we'll have stats by then.

We all love Andy so much, and only have to work on Jake learning what "soft" means :)

Enjoy Grandparents:

(I think his hair has a lil red to it but it only seems to show up/is noticeable in pics.  Jake is the same way-when in certain light).

love this one, it makes me laugh:

and one of Jake, just because :)
