17 weeks

At 17 weeks old Andrew was baptized at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.  I mentioned this in an earlier post, but I thought I would post a few pictures from the day in this entry.  We had a great time, and thoroughly enjoyed having our families here for such a special day.

The Dempsey Family and Fr. John

The Owen Family

He handled the "sprinkle" well with no major outbursts or breakdowns!

In other news, Andrew continues to grow and meet his milestones.  At school they do milestone checklists, and for his 4 month check Andrew had accomplished every milestone with the exception of eating solid foods.  Dad is taking him to the doctor tomorrow for his 4 month checkup, so hopefully Dr. H will give us the green light to start with rice cereal.  He is getting 2 (Mommy Milk) 7 ounce bottles and 1 (6 oz formula) bottle at school, so we continue to have a "healthy" eater! 

A few things of note (really for me to remember)
- Still loves to "chat", coo, and SMILE
- Loves to play in his bumbo and have toys to play with on his play tray
- Still a great sleeper!  Goes down between 7:30 and 8 pm and sleeps until 6 or 6:30 am. 
- I swear he knows the difference between weekdays and weekends because on the weekends he will sleep until 7 or 7:30.
- Has learned how to grab his feet
- Rolls over consistently now.  Can easily go from stomach to back, and usually can sometimes make it from back to stomach
- Can sit up very well supported
