Andrew meets his great grandma
While we were in Whakatane we to Tauranga so Andrew could meet his Great Grandma Gillard, Stephen's mum's mum. This is Andrew's remaining great-grandma. Here are some photos of Andrew and his great-grandma. They are the ones I like.

Andrew's trip to Whakatane part one
Andrew and his daddy and mummy went to Whakatane to visit granny and grandpa Denne from 2 September to 9 September. We had a great time.
Here is Andrew practicing his standing with Daddy.
Andrew slept really well in the porta cot after the first day.
Andrew also got to meet Tara the dog. This was Andrew's first experience of Animals.
Tara was very good at not licking Andrew (and smiling for the camera)
But she did get close enough to have a good sniff of Andrew

Four months old today
Andrew is four months old today. So we thought we had better take some pictures.
We can't tell you his vital statistics as he hasn't been measured this month.
Here he is lying on his tummy
And playing with his toy. If he is the mood he does pick up toys to play with.
He is also getting a lot more vocal, if only we could understand it all. He likes to laugh and is ticklish so giggles lots when he is being undressed.
Andrew and I have been getting out with friends and enjoying the lovely spring days we have been having laterly. Today is not one of them. On Saturday when Stephen was at church mens camp Andrew and I went to the zoo and yesterday we went to the gardens to see the tulips. Andrew had his first swing, sorry I had to hold on to Andrew so there is no photo of this.
Today it was nice as Daddy came home and had lunch with us.
Andrew seems to enjoy his cot and sleeps all night most nights. He also sleeps in the evenings which has meant mum and dad have time to themselves.
Anyway I think he needs to go to bed so I had better publish this and put him into his bed.

Jolly Jumper
Andrew has found a new toy that he enjoys, the jolly jumper. Here he is having a bounce in the doorway and it is easier on mummy's arms.

Andrew's new cot
Andrew is now sleeping in his new cot in his own room.
Stephen and I put the cot together yesterday afternoon and Andrew had his first sleep in it yesterday evening. He didn't sleep all night last night but hopefully tonight he might go back to sleeping 8-9 hours at night. We thought that as his routine was disrupted with being away that it was a good time to move him.
Below is a slightly blurry photo of Andrew asleep this morning. He was in the middle of a sleep that lasted over two hours.
We are still trying to organise the rest of his room.

A typical week for Andrew
I said that I would post places Andrew goes last week, instead here is what Andrew has been up to in the last week. This is a reasonable example of a typical week for Andrew
Saturday: In the morning Andrew stayed home with Daddy while Mummy got her haircut
Sunday: We went to Church in the morning. Andrew often sleeps for part of the service and will have a feed as well. Afterwards we stayed for lunch. We often have lunch with our friend Paul.
Monday: Mummy does housework in the morning while Andrew sleeps, feeds and plays the morning away. In the afternoon we had PIN group. This stands for Plunket in the neighbourhood. It is a coffee group initially organised by Plunket.
Tuesday: We went to visit Ben and his mum Michelle. We walked down to the park, where some of us had our lunch. Andrew waited until we got back to their house before he woke up for his.
Wednesday: In the Morning Andrew and Mummy went shopping to buy Daddy's birthday present. We can't tell you what it is yet as Daddy gets to read this and we don't want him to find out before his birthday. We also went to the library to get some books. Then we went to SPACE. This is a playcentre run group for mums and babies. The mummys have a discussion time on a particular topic, this week eye sight. Then we have a coffee and chat time followed by some singing at the end. Then we came home and Andrew has a sleep.
Thursday: We went to Church for mum's group. In the afternoon we went for a walk with our friend Jenny. Andrew slept in his buggy most of the time.
Friday: Today we are planning to stay home. Mummy is doing house work and getting organised for our trip to Whakatane, we leave tomorrow. Andrew sat outside in his bouncer while mummy was hanging out the washing.
When we are not out and about Andrew likes to:
sleep - he sleeps most nights for 8-9 hours straight and he normally sleeps in the evenings. The disadvantage is that some days he doesn't see much of his daddy as he is back asleep before daddy wakes up and is in bed asleep when Daddy gets home from work. He also has sleeps during the day
Feed - 6-7 times a day
Play - with his playgym, rattles and his horse toy.
Sing - Mummy and Andrew like action songs e.g Heads, shoulder knees and toes, Eencey Weencey spider and five in the bed
Reading with mummy
Exercise his vocal cords, he can even laugh now.
Sitting in his highchair while mummy and daddy are eating or mummy is doing things in the kitchen
Sorry no photo today. :-(
