Andrew is doing great! He is eating some rice cereal and a variety of veggies and fruits now. So far, he pretty much likes them all. His favorite has been bananas. We always knew he was a little monkey. We think he is about to get some more teeth on the top, but nothing has poked through yet. He is putting everything in his mouth and the drool has increased. He is getting to make some different sounds, too. There’s more mmmm, baaah, goo, and gaa. It's so easy to make him smile and giggle. A baby's giggle is the best sound! He loves to touch mom and dad's faces, too. And watch out if you are wearing glasses -- he will take those right off for you. He recognizes us now. He gets a little scared right away if someone new is holding him and mom and dad are out of sight, but usually will warm up after a few minutes. He continues to do well at daycare, too. The older kids just love him there. They all run over to see "Baby Andy" when we get there and usually have some sort of toy to show him. Of course, Andrew loves all of the attention. We do have a really awesome daycare and are so lucky to have found them. They even had a picnic at Oak Grove Park one evening. It was fun to meet some of the other families that go there.
Congratulations are in order! First, to friends Andrea and Anthony -- He was a little early, but Liam Rhys was born on Friday, August 22. He's a little guy only weighing 4 lbs 2 oz, but healthy. He's gonna spend a little time in the NICU so he can get bigger, but soon he and Andrew will be causing trouble together. We are so thankful Andrea and Liam are both doing well. Also adding to their family were Steph & Corey. They had a little girl Bailey Nicole. She was 6 lbs 14 oz. That’s number 3 for them…they already have Casey and Mollie! She’s going to be a busy mama!
This week on Thursday, Andrew is going to his first Bison Football game! He is going to sit with Grandpa Jerry while mom and dad are in the pressbox. Andrew’s going to all decked out – he got some new Bison Gear to wear to the game.
