Feeling better now

Andy came down with a nasty flu virus Saturday March 7th (unfortunately we were in Wisconsin at the time and had to cut short our visit with John and Stacy and the boys). Then Kris caught a version of it Sunday night. Kris was only out of commission for a few days, but poor Andy is just now getting over it. His flu manifested itself in diarrhea diapers, the likes of which should never been seen (or smelled) by humans. I'm posting a photo of Andy from last Wed when he still wasn't feeling too great. Aren't I nice to take a photo of my son when he's ill??

Loves outings, still hates solid food

These are a few photos we took today. Andy is really content playing with toys, banging and biting each one. Now that he can sit for long periods of time, he no longer needs someone to play with him every moment. It's interesting to watch him when he doesn't know I'm looking (when he knows I'm looking, he grins and waves his arms) - he examines everything and reaches for anything he can see.

As before, he can get up on all fours and he is quite adept at scooting backwards, but he doesn't quite understand how to move his knees to make himself move forward. I don't think it will be long, though.

Andy is quite the hit at the YMCA baby center. Kris joined and goes about 2-3 times a week, taking Andy with her each time. The ladies in the baby center all gush over Andy (although they may do that for every child, I prefer to think it's because Andy is special!). Andy also loves his weekly Baby Storytime at the Brookfield Library. We go every Wednesday at 11:30 for about 25 minutes of reading, singing and dancing. It has been a huge hit.
