Andy's 3 month bear photo!

what do we do now?

Last night was awful. Andy was up just about every hour – all night long. He went to bed last night at 10, got up to eat at midnight, needed the sucker at 1 and 1:10, so I brought him into bed with us at 1:10. He needed the sucker all night and wanted to eat again at 3. Gabe fed him and gave him amoxicilin and Andy wanted to be awake. Gabe put him in the swing and slept on the couch. And then Andy was up again wanting his sucker all night until we brought him back into bed with us at 7, and then he slept good until 8. It was a really rough night!


3 times today Andy has had major, tummy-emptying pukes. All over him and whatever he is laying on (including our bedding). So not fun. We are going to try giving him soy based formula to see if that is better for his little tummy. We can't think of what else to do.

Rough night!

Last night was pretty good for the first half and pretty bad for the second. Elia watched the boys so Gabe and I could go out and celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. We got home at 10:30, and Andy had had his last bottle at 9:30 and fallen asleep at 9:45pm. So he was down for the night. And he slept until 2:30, had a nice big 5.5oz bottle, took his medicine, got a clean diaper on, and was the happiest baby in the world. But he wanted to be awake and playing. I let him for 20 minutes, and then I put Andy in his crib as I was tired and wanted to go back to bed. But I got up at least 6 times in the next half an hour to put his soother back in. Finally I just stayed in this room (in the rocking chair) and kept putting the soother back in his mouth. Then I swaddled him (around 3:30) and he nodded off just before 4am. But at 6am he was awake again, so Gabe brought him into our bed and he slept well until the alarm went off at 8am.

I'm a zombie this morning

I had to put the soother back in at 1:30am, 3am, 3:45, 4:45, and 5:10. Then I finally got up and fed him at 5:15. He was happy and fell asleep around 6am. These night time feeds are getting longer and longer. I don't like that.

Andy's baptism...

Last night Andy was up a lot. Gabe slept on the couch with Andy in the swing a he put the soother back in a bunch of times. Andy fed at 2:10 (6oz) and 6:50am (3oz).

Andy has such fantastic happy mornings now that he is feeling better!

Andy was baptized today! He slept in Krista's arms until we undressed him. He cried when he was baptized, but calmed down afterwards, and actually didn't fuss nearly as much as we excepted. He even did better than Owen had when he was baptized! We took lots of pictures, and kept some of his hair from the tonturing for his baby book. Lots of people came to watch the baptism: all 4 of the Moore's, the Bhulers, the Harmes's, the Martel's, Ted and Helen Francis, Grandma and Grandma, Elia, and Leila.

And then we had a BBQ at our house afterwards to celebrate and a lot of people came to that too: Sean and Cari, the Harmes's, the Martel's, all of the Francis's and Kim's boyfriend Jason, Grandma and Grandma, the Jordan's, Lindsay Friesen and her husband, Gabe Friesen, the Farley's, Rhiannon and Theo, Christie Gilbank, Eddie Bhuler, and Sid and Melissa Ketel.

In this last picture you can see us and Andy's godparents - Matthew and Krista Francis (they are Owen's godparents too).

Andy's 1st ear infection

Andy screamed all night. I am so glad we had our Doctors appointment today. He has a raging ear infection in his right ear. My poor little baby!

Guess who loves his Mommy?!?

Andy does!

Owen is a Papa's boy (always has been), and it looks like Andy will favor his Mama! Yay for me!

Andy is 10 weeks old today and going threough a growth spurt! He is now wearing size 3month (or 0-3 months, depending on the brand) clothes and size 2 diapers! He is still in a size 1 shoe (but that may be becasue his size 1 shoes are so cute I'll cram his foot in there for as long as I can!).
