Happy 1st Birthday Vivien! & Our 1st trip to Maine.

On our way up , we stopped in Kittery to visit with friends

Todd, Erica & Madison
at their beautiful new home.

Grandma (GiGi) got to spend some precious time with her grandson.

Vivien noticed Andy's binky right away!

Viv and Andy are already buddies -getting into mischief soon enough...

Raiding the beer cooler!

Let's get these open...
Take a sip first...

Sharing with Andy.... Busted!

Viv's birthday festivities started the day before at GiGi and Grandpa's.

Grandpa spent lots of cuddling time with Andy~
Mommy even got to spend the night by the fire pit with Daddy, thanks to Grandpa!
We saw lots of shooting stars (Perseids Meteor Shower).

On Sunday, Wendy & Matt had a birthday party for Vivien, friends & family in attendance.
4-year old Evan liked baby Andrew. He and the baby have the same color hair!

Vivien couldn't wait to get her hands on this present!Vivien got some ca$h for her birthday!Aunt Wendy got to spend some time getting to know Andy.

Vivy looks on: Mom? Holding a baby?
Andrew had Auntie feeling a little uncomfortable
as he checked out "a different restaurant." Look at that grin!

Sunday

Since Andrew was looking so angelic in all these postings, I had to show some of his "finer" moments. His cry does have a funny cackle to it when he gets really worked up (as in, below). Right now he is in my lap crying with hiccups at the same time.
All I can say is, good thing this doesn't happen in the middle of the night when I'm trying to get back to sleep!

Crying is a great workout! All the arm and leg flailing is helping him get STRONG!
Oh yes, and the cry volume has gone up, too...

Relaxing with the Red Sox game on.

Tired Mom cracking a smile.
