Four month old checkup

We're back in VA after seeing friends and family for a week in NJ and PA. We all had such a good time. Poppy and Rara even bought Ryan a new red two wheel bike from Target which Ryan gets up at 6 am to ride every morning - thanks Poppy and Rara!!

We missed Dada and he missed us a lot too so we spent the entire Memorial Day weekend at home swimming in our pool and catching some rays. We took some pictures too! Here are the Andris boys all together on the couch for a picture.

This week was Mark's four month checkup and he weighs in at 16.5 lbs and measures 26 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for height and weight for his age. He may outweigh Ryan at some point soon. He has started eating rice cereal although he cries when we feed it to him - I don't think he likes the taste. I mixed some with applesauce this evening and he gobbled it right up.

Next week we are headed back to NJ and then to CA for Patty's graduation. We hope to see lots of family at Mark's baptism and are looking forward to spending some more time with Poppy and Rara. See you all soon!

Summer's here

It's been a while since my last post...we have been busy going on the potty and making arrangements to visit Tita Patty in California!! We are all so excited.

Our traveling begins this week with a trip to PA with Grammy Andris to visit her digs and visit old friends. On Saturday it's Alisha's shower in Quakertown, PA and then off to New Jersey to visit Rara and Poppy for a couple of days.

Then back to VA for Memorial Day and then back again to NJ (a week later) for our trip to California for Tita's graduation from prosthetic school! Hooray Tita!!

Mark's baptism will be on June 17th (Father's Day) and so we will be in NJ preparing for that for two weeks! Boy will Dada miss us!!

Mark has been smiling - hence the picture (taken on my camera phone). And Ryan has been enjoying the weather by running through the sprinkler in the front yard - good thing we have a pool!

Love to all - hope to see most of you in May or June. Will write about the trip when we return!
