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!
