Here is our little pumpkin!!! On Saturday I had way too much fun, we took Andrew to Caloways Nursery, they were having a kids day, and we got so many cute pictures. Here are a few of our favorites.
Andrew loved the straw and did not know what to think of the pumpkins.
Not much else is going on around here. This morning I was ordering pictures off of snapfish and realized that I alone took 150 pictures of Andrew in the past month and a half. That isn't counting the grandparent's pictures. I think it is because he is mobile now and smiles for the camera. I promised Bobby I would be more selective next month when ordering pictures, not to print every picture.
If you were wondering what what was on Andrew's checks in the pumpkin pictures. Unfortunately he has his mommas skin and it was just a little eczema rash or it may be from the kiwi that he ate this week. He didn't even make a face when he first tasted the kiwi and it was sour to me. He also ate corn for the first time and we tried eggs again this morning and it is looking like his little allergic reaction is gone. It was funny this week, we gave him a piece of pasta from a lasagna and he looked at us like, "so this is what you eat, yuck" Bobby put it in his mouth and he ate it, but he wasn't begging for more.
We have also started trying to teach Andrew some baby sign language. We are starting off with the sign for "more" and "water" hopefully Bobby and I will be diligent in showing him the sign over and over. We have read that it takes a couple of months for babies to catch on. So we will see how it goes.
He is absolutely adorable! I taught Kian sign language. Just a couple, milk, more, please, and all done. It was the best thing ever. By 11 months he was telling me when he wanted things or when he was all done. I highly recommend using sign language sparingly though and always saying the word with the sign. Once he can say the word, encourage that more than the sign so that he won't be delayed in his speech. Be consistent with it and he will catch on fast. Keep the updates coming. He is so cute!
