On facebook, people have been posting 25 interesting facts about themselves. I am working on mine, as I find it interesting to read. In the meantime, I decided to list 25 things about Andy as a 6 month old. These items probably are similar to something you would see from an "average" 6 month old, but I want to document the "unique" observations we have made about Andy.
1. I look forward to seeing Andy's smile every morning when I peer over his crib. It helps me get up in the morning (and sometimes Kyle and I fight over it)!
2. Andy's favorite food right now is bananas (other than his mommy's milk).
3. Andy's favorite blankie is his ducky given to him by his great-aunt galen and great-uncle bruce.
4. Andy's current favorite activity is the bouncy chair.
5. Andy only likes binkies like the ones from the hospital.
6. Andy loves bath-time and splashing with his legs and feet.
7. If Andy doesn't have his binky, he is happy sucking on his 2 fingers, just like his daddy did.
8. To help himself fall asleep and sleep soundly, Andy thumps his legs (both legs at a time). Good thing he sleeps right above us - haha.
9. Andy is ticklish under his arms, sides, feet, and his neck. When you get him, he gives the best belly laugh.
10. I love that I can see my husband in my son.
11. Andy's biggest dislike is getting his nose picked or face cleaned off (for some reason I can't stand it when he has boogies).
12. Andy does not like formula...yikes...we are working on this one.
13. Andy would much rather be on his back than his tummy and usually will roll to his back eventually and stay there. It will be interesting to see him learn to crawl from his back : )
14. Andy's most mellow time of day is morning and fussiest time is mid-afternoon.
15. Andy is lucky to have both sets of grandparents within a 10 mile radius. (AND his aunties, uncles, cousins, and great-grandparents too!)
16. Andy loves white noise - it keeps him calm or puts him to sleep.
17. Andy has a cousin who is 2 1/2 weeks older than he is. What a lucky guy!
18. Andy is mesmerized by the TV (uh-oh) and by lights.
19. Andy loves getting kisses from his dog, Henry...for about 5 seconds.
20. In 6 months, Andy has been on 5 trips...4 requiring him to fly, and he has been outside the country. Good thing kids fly free!
21. Andy only has been sick once, which is right now. It is so hard to not be able to fix your baby's owies!
22. Andy's newest fascination is hair and glasses...and pulling it out or off.
23. Andy rubs his ears when he is falling asleep and sleeps with both hands by his head. It looks so peaceful.
24. Andy is the youngest of 6 grandchildren on one side of the family and the only grandchild on the other side of the family.
25. Andy was named after Kyle's maternal family name, Anderson, and has his mom's maiden name, Campbell, as his middle name. So...he has three last names!
Oh, just Henry stopping by to give a little kiss. Good thing dog's mouths are cleaner than humans!
