Dinosaur tracks...

Today was Andrew's 4 month check up. He is 16 lbs and 26 inches! He is growing just fine and the doctor said he is right where he should be everywhere else. They had to do some bloodwork to figure out why Andrew is growing hair in certain spots already, though. They think he might have some type of testosterone issue, but he said not to lose sleep over it. I will be anxiously awaiting the results though. My little man was so brave. He screamed bloody murder while the nurse was taking his blood, but I held him tight and sang in his ear. He was happy to see his bottle when she was done.



Being a SAHM is wonderful but it also has been difficult because I don't really understand my "purpose" other than Mommy and Wife. I decided to try to get into crafting. My mom was also a crafter and I think it would be a good skill to carry with me for Andrew and his siblings as they grow up. I successfully made 2 pillows, a blanky, and this fabulous dinosaur doll for my little man:



I started thinking about the Fall again and having to return to work. Andrew will start day care. My job is held for me in my old county, but I'd love a job closer to home. The thought of driving through the tunnel daily does not sit well with me. Fingers are crossed for some good news jobwise!

Tomorrow we are meeting the October Moms for a little Valentine's gathering and then Sunday Eleanor and her boyfriend are coming to meet Andrew. We have some busy weekends ahead but I'm looking forward to the warmer weather (althought we haven't had much of a winter!).

Pete was off today to come to the pediatrician. He has started doing the bedtime routine over the weekends. I loved walking in to this tonight:
