Well, the days are over that we can just leave Drew in a room to just go grab something. But, it is so fun to see him learning new things and being so proud of himself. Recently he has learned to sit up from laying on his belly, and pull with his arms to get on his knees. He goes wherever he wants to, by rolling, army crawl, or pushing himself up to sitting. Everytime he sits up, he has to look at each person in the room, just to make sure they saw it and are happy about it too. :) Here is a video of him waking up from his morning nap and then pushing himself up to sitting. Enjoy!

My Daddy Rocks!

Happy 1st Father's Day Daddy! We love you and could not ask for a better husband or daddy! :)

8 months old!

Andrew Asa, you are 8 months old and doing great! We are so happy watching you grow and develop and you have really grown. In the Nicu, your Grams and Pawpaw gave you a bear and this is what you looked like with it then...



and now...


You are learning so many new things and becoming very aware of everything and everyone. Just today, I was giving you a bath and you dropped your rubber duckies on the outside of the tub, then you knew they were there, leaned over, looked at them, grabbed onto the side and held yourself up to reach them. You grabbed one and felt so proud of yourself. I was amazed and are every time you learn or show us something new. Your daddy and I are so proud to be your parents and hope that, with God's help, we will show you His everlasting love. You are the sweetest baby and definately have your daddy's temperament, calm, cool, and collected. :)
Here is a pic of you pulling yourself up in the bath (dad sort of got it)...


Here are some sweet pics of you swimming the other day for the first time with your friend Charlie. You loved the water and had a great time putting your head into it. Your daddy and I love you so much and are greatful to God that he would give us such a precious gift!
Checking it out...

I like it...

Sticking his head in the water, trying to get a drink...

Sweet Boy...

Kickin' in the floaty...

Oh no, we have to leave?...

Its a party and I have a big pooper!

Well, I normally dont blog this much, but today we had a poop extravaganza! Andrew was playing on the floor and I thought, oh Drew is stinky, I better change him. So... I walked over and thought oh he pooped out, no big deal. But, it was! I opened his outfit and pulled it off, only to find a diaper load of poop outside the diaper! Yuck! It was all over and reached all the way up to his shoulder blades. Although, Drew was as happy as lark, as usual. So, I got him naked and plopped him into tub and turned the water on, not realizing it is on shower mode. I am startled and wet and Drew got scared and started crying. I couldnt pick him up b/c he was covered in poop, so I decided to hose him off and fill the bathtub up again, so everyone could calm down and relax (including myself). Here are a couple pics of the whole thing! :) Dont scroll if you cant handle poop. :)



And a HAPPY BABY AFTER ALL THAT! I LOVE SEEING HIM GROW AND LEARN NEW THINGS!



Drew has learned how to pick up the ball and put it into the giraffe and I finally got it on video today. He always studies things and then somehow figures it out. He has a really smart daddy, so he must take after him! :)

Boot, Scoot, and Boogie!

Well our little guy is scooting and starting to push off with his legs! He gets frustrated when he cant get to what he wants (I dont know where he gets that from):) But, I know it will just get easier with practice. Before we know it, we will be chasing his all over. He is also drooling like crazy and wants everything to be in his mouth. So... maybe he is teething. I guess he'll get teeth eventually. :)

Here is video of him scooting! He loves cups, red or blue are his favorite!



Oh and we took Drew to "swim" for the first time with our sweet friends, The Bowens. Charlie and Andrew looked too cute in their swim trunks and hats. As soon as we set Drew in the water he started splashing, kicking, and playing. Drew loved it! He tried to drink the water, but dunked his head in the water shooting up. It was so much fun and we got great pics (well Trey did, thanks!), but left them, so I guess they will be on Drew's 8th month post. Yikes, did I just type 8? Wow, time is disappearing! I am so happy to soak up as much lovins as I can over the summer! It is going to be awesome!!!

Here are some really adorable pics of Drew in his dada's tie. :)
