World's Cutest Baby Ever

Andrew is two months old and we are excited to see how much he will weigh at his Well Child Check tomorrow. We've started reading books with him every night and he loves to look at the pictures.

Playing with Dad (and Oma)

Here are some pictures of Drew smiling at Daddy as he makes faces and having tummy time with Oma. Drew is eight weeks old! He weighs over twelve pounds already.

7 weeks old

We can't believe Andrew is 7 weeks old already! He is up to twelve pounds now. Here he is with his new friend Faith. Check out the picture of him holding his head up. He loves going for walks in his baby carrier--it always makes him fall asleep.

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.
