Andrew's Baptism

We were so happy to have Andrew baptized today surrounded by friends and family! It means so much to us to acknowledge that he is a part of God's family.

Lots of smiles!

Andrew has been giving us lots of smiles lately! (in between crying spells). He has been sleeping longer at night and even did a 7 hour stretch a few nights ago.

One Month Old

Andrew is so handsome! We celebrated Dave's first Father's Day yesterday. He is such a wonderful Dad! Andrew has been crying less the last couple of days but not sleeping very long at night. Soon we'll have some extra help since we are moving in with my parents next week. We've sold our house but we won't have possession of our new house until mid-July.

Test Results

Drew's doctor called yesterday to let us know that the results of his VCUG were in. The VCUG is basically a picture of his renal system to see if there are any abnormalities. The test showed that a small amount of urine is refluxing back into the ureter close to where it meets the bladder. The doctor is referring him to a pediatric urologist but basically it is something that most kids outgrow by the time they are school age. Probably he will have to be on antibiotics to prevent a future urinary tract infection and then be tested yearly to see if the problem has resolved itself.

His colic seems to be getting a little worse but we are holding out hope that it will start getting better after six weeks which is what my baby books claim. He is starting to seem more interested in the world around him and loves looking at black and white pictures.

New Pictures

Drew is getting so big already! Check out these super cute pictures. In the one where he is sitting in Dave's glove his shirt says, "I play sports with Daddy".

Well Child Check

Andrew had a three week Well Child Check yesterday! He is looking healthy and is up to 9 lbs and 7 oz. All that feeding is paying off! He's been having some more awake time during the day and will lay on his back and just take in the world around him. Other than that he's feeding all the time and getting a little better at sleeping at night.

Opa and Oma visit

Andrew met his Opa for the first time today!
