Five Months Old Today

Andrew is five months old today. So I thought I had better post an update.

The photo below is his happy face this afternoon.


His vital statistics as at his five month plunket check last Tuesday
Height: 64.4cm
Weight: 6.82kg
This puts him on the 50% percentile line for height and just below for weight.

Here is another photo taken last week of Andrew's happy face.


We have had a busy month.

Grandma and Grandad Harris came to stay for Great Aunty Mary's wedding. It was then that Andrew started to poke his tongue out when he smiled. He stopped after a week as he couldn't talk with his tongue poking out.

Andrew also got to meet his Great Uncle Alex, Great Uncle Les and Great Aunty Lyn and mummy's cousin Tim as they were all here for the wedding.

Then Mummy's cousin Alexia died. The extended family got together for this incredibly sad event. Grandma and Grandad came back and Aunty Margaret and Uncle David came up for the funeral.

This was the first time Uncle David and Andrew got to meet each other. Here they are deep in discussion. Uncle David is back staying with us at the moment.


Mummy got together with her old school friends Joanne, Nicola, Jenny and Bernie. Andrew got to tag along for part of the time. Andrew stayed home with Daddy when they went out for dinner.

We have also flown up to the Bay of Plenty via Auckland for Daddy's cousin April's wedding. Daddy posted some photos on this the other day.

That accounts for every weekend this month. During the week we still go to SPACE, antenatal coffee group, church mum's group, church, the library, walking etc...

When we aren't traveling around, Andrew is still a reasonable good sleeper during the day and mostly sleeps all night. He likes to lie on the floor and wriggle and squirm while laughing, giggling and gurgling.

He has become uncertain about his bath and sometime likes to see if he can deafen mummy with his screaming.
