9 month stats..

Andrew had his 9 month check up today. Here are his stats:

Length: 29 1/4" (90%)
Weight: 24 lbs. 4 1/4 oz (95%)
Head Size: 19 1/2" (97%)

He is doing good otherwise. He has his top 2 teeth now. He is still army crawling. Still doesn't like solid foods yet. We are still working on that one, with some suggestions from the pedi. He also had the Flu vax too.

Also Andrew is going to be seeing a pediatric orthopedic doctor on October 4 (hopefully sooner). They are wanting to have his legs checked out. He favors his left side and refuses to use try and use his legs when crawling. Although she thinks that this is just a phase, she wants to make sure that they rule anything out now. When Andrew was in the NICU, they were unable to tell us if there was going to be any lasting effects from the reduced blood flow and him being anemic. We are hoping the he is just going to be a lefty and he will catch up soon..

House Hunting..

Well we have started the process of putting the townhome on the market and house hunting. We are currently looking in the Atascocita area. This will get us a lot closer to Christine, which will be wonderful considering she is getting older and will start getting more busy with friends and school. Plus we won't have the 40 minute plus commute back and forth.

Andrew has....

HIS FIRST TOOTH!!

The fever on vacation finally makes sense now.

Andrew and I were snuggling on the couch and he kept trying to bite me. I couldn't figure out why. I leaned him back and could see his top left tooth poking through and his top right one about to come through. He has some razor sharp teeth coming through.

Vacation - Day 6 - San Diego Zoo

Today Christine went to the San Diego Animal Kingdom park. Since Andrew still wasn't feeling good, Chris and I stayed with him at the hotel. Our friends took Christine with them, so she wouldn't miss out. I don't have any pictures from her trip to the Animal park, but I will when Brett and Amber get home. You will have to check back to see them.

Tomorrow, we are heading back to Disneyland.

Vacation - Day 4 - California Adventure & Hollywood

Today we spent the day at Disney's California Adventure.
In the early afternoon we drove to Hollywood to check out the walk of fame and Mann's Chinese Theatre.

We had a character breakfast with Minnie and Friends at Disneyland.
Andrew was so excited to see all of the characters. He thought that Chip and Dale had cool noses. (he kept trying to put them in his mouth)





Christine as we entered into California Adventure.

Chris and I on the water ride. The kids decided that they could ride more rides by going on as single riders, so they aren't pictured here. Chris and I have a stroller pass, so we get to go to the front of the line. We traded on and off with Brett and Amber.

Andrew and Tierney just waiting for everyone.

Christine in front of the roller coaster. This was our favorite ride!! She got to ride it a couple of times by going on as a single rider. (no lines too)


We left CA Adventure and headed to Hollywood so that we could see the walk of fame and the Chinese Theatre.

This is Shirley Temple, when I was Christine's age my grandparents took me here. I remember having the same size hand prints.
