Oh The Places You'll Go!

It has been quite a while since I last blogged. Andrew turned five months old and increased in both weight and height (19 lbs and 28 inches). The majority of the reason for this lack of blogging is that Andrew has become a "traveling man". First, we spent a great weekend with Kevin for Father's Day. I can't brag enough about what a great father Kevin is. He truly loves Andrew and has so much fun with him. After spending a great Father's Day weekend with Kevin, Andrew and I loaded up and headed out for Bethlehem Family Camp. He was able to spend time with numerous family members and some of my best friends (Cindy, Colleen, and even Josh). He stayed in his Mimi and Papa's room where I'm sure they enjoyed spoiling him rotten :) Although the weather was extremely hot, he handled it well. He even was able to have his first experience in a pool! He really loved it and I can't wait for him to be in pool again soon. We returned home on Sunday with just enough time to reload the car for our trip to Wisconsin on Tuesday. That's right, our little man traveled through the following states in a two day period: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Andrew is an amazing traveller and almost always handles the change in time and weather well. We are so lucky to have a baby that is so relaxed and flexible. In Wisconsin we stayed with about 18 of our favorite relatives at Kevin's parents (grandma and grandpa) house. We had a great time meeting one new niece and one new cousin, and we were even able to spend time with Kevin's aunt, uncle, and cousins from Canada. Aunt Carlean and Uncle Jimmy even made it up. We had an amazing time!! Andrew was able to participate in his first campfire where he watched us cook smores. He even had his first bites of frozen custard, a Midwest favorite!!

Finding a way to put his toes in his mouth. It looks painful, doesn't it?

All of the cousins! I love how it looks as though Cruz is comforting Callie :)

Time in the kiddie pool...It was a little too cold for Andrew's taste, but he did enjoy sitting on the edge with Daddy.Andrew and Daddy on pool day
