Andrew's first day of daycare was today. We both went to drop him off and pick him up today. There are lots of cute little pre-school aged kids there. A little girl was looking out the window when we came and she was yelling "THE NEW BABY IS HERE!!!" We could hear her across the street. They were all so excited to have Andrew there and all of the kids had to come and get a look at him. It was so cute. I was getting a little choked up as I was saying goodbye, but no tears! It's a good place, so it makes it easier. It’s still hard not to be with him and know every little detail of what he did today, but from all reports, Andrew had a great day.
Last week we had Grandma Connie and Grandpa Dave here from Illinois to meet Andrew. They got some quality time with Andrew as they watched him Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Grandpa Jerry filled out the rest of the week on the daycare duties. It made my transition back to work a little smoother, so that was nice.
This weekend, Frankie and Bob were here visiting, so they stopped over to meet Andrew. Great Aunt Frankie has the touch with babies. We could tell she is an experienced Grandma!
Andrew is really starting to grab and reach out at things now. He is also responding to sounds by turning his head to see where they are coming from. He still likes to suck on his fist and thumb if he can find it. He’s a pretty happy boy except if he has an air bubble in his tummy. Thankfully, we can usually work those out with a good burp. He’s sleeping pretty well, usually getting up once sometime during the night to eat. He sleeps great in his crib, so we are happy about that. He seems to be growing so fast lately. The pile of clothes that doesn’t fit him anymore is getting so big!
Congratulations to our friends Sonya and Troy on the birth of their little girl, Olivia Grace. She is just darling and will surely be one of Andrew’s future Bison Buddies.
