Andrew is one month old! Every day he is starting to interact more and smile. He is such a cutie! We went to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday, which made me feel like a true mommy. There were strollers, moms, and kids/babies galore! I fit right in. My neighbor, Lauren, went with us. It felt like a marathon trying to get out of the car, get the stroller out, make sure you have everything, etc. I'm glad I had an extra pair of hands. How people do it with 2 kids, I don't know! Anyway, we had fun taking Andrew's picture in the pumpkins. They had so many fun activities to do with kids, it will be a blast when he is older.

Not sure what to think about laying on pumpkins! Andrew wore a pumpkin costume that his cousin Sarah had when she was a baby.

We were so tired by this time!

Forgive me father, for I have sinned! No, just kidding. Tom wanted Andrew to wear his UT outfit for the Texas/OU game this past weekend. As an A&M grad, this was a little hard to stomach, so Tom did the honors of putting it on him.

Happy boy!

Andrew Week 3

Sorry it's taken me forever to add pictures! Here are pictures from Andrew's 3rd week. We are getting adjusted to being on our own. We were so lucky to have parents here with us the first 2 weeks. Last week was our first week by ourselves and we survived. Andrew is starting to fill out more and trys to coo and talk a little bit. We have been learning how to deal with his fussiness, the Happiest Baby on the Block techniques are working well, thankfully! Tom took care of Andrew while I got out and went to Target last Sunday. Andrew really initiated Tom into being a Daddy. He cried the whole time while I was gone and just before I got back, he pooped all over the changing table during his 3rd diaper change in 45 minutes! The joys of parenthood! Enjoy the pictures, more to come on Friday when Andrew will be a month old!!!

3 Weeks old, still not sure about taking my picture in the rocking chair.

Hilary and Brian came to visit us.

2 Weeks Old!!!

Wow, 2 weeks have flown by! Andrew went to the doctor yesterday and the jaundice is gone, thankfully! He also gained 4.5 ounces, which was something we wanted to happen since he lost 14 ounces after he was born. We hope he will get back to birth weight soon. He is doing very well, kind of starting to sleep 4-5 hours at a time during the night! We are not going out and about very much, so we would love to have visitors any time! Here are some pictures from our 2nd week.

My 2 week old picture! I kept getting really frustrated because I didn't want my picture taken, that's why I have a funny look on my face.

I finally fit into my swing.
