Sick, Teething, Flooding, Crawling

April and May were pretty crummy months for all of us. I was still very busy at work, yet Andrew was ensuring that we all stayed pretty sick. We seemed to be passing the same cold back and forth, which resulted in a grumpy, sleep-deprived household.

At the end of April, Grand Rapids had record setting flooding. Fortunately, the flooding did not impact our new house, but the condo was not so lucky. The building was evacuated for 3 weeks, and our poor tenant couch-hopped during this time. She came to stay with us for a few days near the end of the 3 week period and we had a lot of fun sitting on the deck in the evening, drinking wine, and chatting! =)

Flooding in Rockford - Rogue River at 12 mile and downtown Rockford.

Flooding in Plainfield Township - Grand River at West River Dr & Northland Drive. Beneath the building is a parking garage...

 Flooding in Grand Rapids - Turner & Ann Street.

Flooding downtown - Grand River. You can see our old building on the left. This picture was taken the day before it was evacuated. 

It was finally warm enough to get outside and get some fresh air, which was especially helpful since we were all sick! Andrew enjoyed his first time swinging...and yes, he was still in his pjs...it was just one of those days!

7 month picture - always trying to eat his feet!

Sweet ride in the laundry basket =)

Another day outside. One cool cat in his sunglasses. He ripped them off his face approx 2 seconds after this picture was taken!

 

This is when Andrew started becoming mobile. He was not crawling yet but he had started scooting. When I walked into the kitchen, he was laying on top of the playmat which was on top of the blue blanket. When I walked back into the living room with his bottle, he gave me a very guilty look...

Trying to crawl. It wasn't long after this video that he figured it out.

Happy Baby!
