Vacation in Savannah

We spent some time on vacation in Savannah GA. It was the longest time we've spent away from Andrew, and we definitely missed him! Both Grandma Bergman & Grandma Meier watched Andrew while we were away!

We stayed in a vacation rental house for the week. The inside was very cute, looked like a model home straight from HGTV.

We spent two days at Tybee Island soaking-up the sun.

The lighthouse on Tybee island is one of the oldest on the eastern seaboard. After 178 steps, and several breaks, we made it up to the top for some great views.

Savannah is one of the oldest cities in the country and we especially liked walking around the historic district. There were so many impressive old mansions and huge live oak trees, parks and monuments, it would take a month to see it all.

We spent a most of our evenings on River Street. The old buildings and cotton warehouses along the riverfront are now home to all kinds of bars and restaurants.
In Savannah, it is legal to have an open container. You could request a to-go-cup, and take your drink anywhere. Tim took full advantage of that. Sometimes he would get a beer to go, just because he could. With that into consideration, the city was amazingly clean.

We met Ted Bergman's twin. He was the singer of the band in one the bars we stopped at. From across the room, he had a remarkable resemblence. We laughed so hard just watching his moves and mannerisms that we swore we were looking at Ted.

He was happy to pose for a picture. Thumbs up, of course.

We had a great time on vacation and got some much needed time away from all the hustle and bustle, but this time it was different. We were very anxious to get back home and see our little guy and his big smiles.

New Tricks

In the last few week, Andrew has learned a few new "tricks." He learned how to pick-up a puff off his highchair tray and successfully put it into his mouth. After eating a few, it becomes difficult when the puffs stick to his fingers. He is doing a great job sitting-up. He has more control and is able to bounce and not fall over. He is not crawling yet. He will move one arm, the other arm, kick his legs, but he can't seem to get things moving all together.

Andrew loves the tub!

He loves to splash!

Having so much fun!

We've been trying for over a week to get a picture of Andrew's two bottom teeth. It's not perfect, but the best yet. If you right-click the picture, you can see a larger image.

Visiting Marcus

Andrew & I went to Indy the day after Easter to visit baby Marcus. Marcus is so cute and so little. It is hard to believe Andrew was that small only 7 months ago!


We took the boys on a stroller ride around the neighborhood. The boys were exhausted after the walk.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend spending some time with our family. We had the Meier Easter on Saturday evening. Within 5 days of his 1st tooth, Andrew's second also popped through. Cousin Ben was generous to lend a finger for Andrew to chew.

For each holiday, Grandma's toy bin is emptied on the floor and the kids jump in. This year, Andrew joined in the fun.

Sunday brunch was at Grandma Bergman's house. The grandkids were too busy playing with their new toys, so a group picture was out of the question...

New Stuff!

Another exciting week! On Sunday March 28th, Andrew got a new cousin, Marcus Ryan Dippold. He was 7lbs 12oz and 21" long. That bumps-up Grandma Meier's count to 2 girls & 4 boys! We can't wait to see both Marcus & Grace this weekend.

Andrew had another milestone on Wednesday, March 31st (29 weeks). His first tooth popped through his gums! Both Mom & Dad were caught by surprise. Maybe that is why he's been trying to chew our fingers...

Bigger Every Day!

Andrew is 6-1/2 months and growing bigger every day. He is very good at rolling over. When we place him on his back, he immediately rolls over to his belly and grabs for his toys. He is able to scoot, but he doesn't move too fast. He can sit up for a few minutes at a time, but is still wobbly and quickly falls over.

27 weeks. Hanging out in his jammies before bedtime.

Andrew is eating all kind of new food. I don't think he dislikes anything. He likes purees, and makes funny faces when the food has any texture/chunks. Picture below after he finished some carrots. Yum, Yum!
