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. :)

Happy 7 months Drew!

Well, baby boy, you sure are wonderful! You really make us laugh more than we ever have. (Not to say that we didnt laugh before, but there is something about watching your own baby that makes the soul smile) Andrew, at seven months you are sitting up all by yourself and playing with your toys, you have no fear when it some to falling over. You will arch back and take a fall backward and reach as far as you can and fall forward. No matter what you are determined to get what you want. You are also getting much more vocal about what you are happy about and not so happy about. The only fruit you really love is pears, just like your daddy. You seem to like things that arent so sweet. You like veggies a lot more, some of your favs are: peas, squash, and sweet potato. You HATED mom's homemade baby food, so I guess the store brand will do just fine. One thing that we think is super cute is you grab your feet constantly and one thing you just did today was discover your wee wee. In the bathtub, you discovered it. Your daddy said you were thinking, " whoa, and I thought my feet were cool" Too funny. :) I thank the Lord for giving such a precious gift to us. I pray you come to know your Maker and have the confidence to live your life for Him. We LOVE you so much sugar (that is my nickname b/c he weighed as much as one bag of sugar)!

This is what happens when I am with daddy....

I am messy and extremely happy!!!


This how Drew sleeps... SO SWEET!

God will hold me...

This Mothers Day was wonderful! I have such a sweet son that the Lord has given me and that is enough. I have to say, on this Mothers day the Lord continues to remind me that Andrew is NOT mine, he is HIS. Ever since Drew was born I have worried about this and about that and really it has stolen some of my joy of being a mother. The devil will take what he knows you are weak at and consistently try and put it in the forefront for you to focus on. Dont get me wrong, we had many things that were scary when Drew was born, but since being home from the NICU, he has done awesome. (He is now 25-50% in weight and 50-75% in height, he looks huge now, considering he weighed 5.3 and was 18 1/2 inches long) I often wonder why I worry, and I am sure this is a mom thing, but I am trying to really let it go. The Lord's will is done for Aaron, Drew, and my life, so why not just be happy. So, from now on, I will pray when the devil makes me worried and try my best to cherish every moment with Andrew. Lord I pray for all mommas out there that you take the fear and control that we have and show us the sheer joy our children can and do bring us. Thank you so much for Andrew and Aaron!!!

Here is a video that brings me a lot of joy just watching it! Drew loves people and laughs so hard sometimes. It is awesome to be a momma to such a happy baby. :)

HAPPY 6 MONTH!

Since the day you were born...

we were so happy you were ours. Now, Andrew, you are 6 months old and we have enjoyed watching you grow and develop your sweet personality. You are so happy and show us God's love all the time. Since last month, you have learned to roll and get to something you want, play with all your toys, and really love to laugh with your daddy. You are the most precious gift we could ever receive. Your daddy and I could not have imagined how much pure joy you bring us!


Looking at the grass and feeling it for the first time... I am sure he is thinking... this is very interesting, I wish I could put it into my mouth. :)

Andrew's First Easter!

Thank you Jesus for promising to take me to paradise if I just believe in You. This concept I dont think I will ever fully grasp, but I do know that entrusting my life to you has given me security and confidence. I pray that my son will come to know and believe in you and fully understand the meaning of your birth, death, and resurrection.

Here is handsome Andrew in his first Easter outfit. :) Super sweet!



Here is another picture that I love! Aaron loves to make Drew laugh and Drew is totally in love with his daddy! :)
