Visiting with Aunt Christie




We went to visit my sister, and "Aunt Christie" and cousin Dylan. We drove up there, getting there pretty late, around 10 or so. We had a really great dinner. She is an amazing cook! She grilled steak, made salad, green beans and baked potatoes. Her home is beautiful. It was the first time we got to see it.Dylan loved holding Tristan. He was sweet with him. Christie just couldn't stop smiling at Tritan and wanted to hold him and help change his diaper the entire visit. She was simply precious with him. I loved that we were able to hang out with her and Dylan. She is an awesome housekeeper, clean freak like me.

I miss her alot and it meant so much to me to spend time with her. She is such a great Mom, and I am so, so proud of all of her acomplishments. She is a TRUE SURVIVOR. I am more proud of her than ever! I love you sis!

2 Months Old



At 2 months old you are


*Smiling alot. You smile at Mommy & Daddy mostly. But also at family and some
strangers.

*Eating every 2-3 hours during the day (Breastfeeding only still)

*At night you sleep in your bassinet (in our room,)from about midnight, till 4 or 5 AM, then you wake up, eat (BF),and return to sleep in your bassinet. Then wake up
again a few hours later, eat again and go back to sleep (usually in your swing-in
our room). Mommy and Daddy are finding the sleep routine hard, but we are hoping
that you will be sleeping better soon. Every now and then, you will sleep from
midnight till like 7 AM or so...which is awesome when you can do this.

*To get you to sleep, we give you a bath, massage you a little, nurse you and then
hold you a little bit until you look really sleepy and lay you in the bassinet.
You are still sleeping in our room because we are not comfortable letting you sleep
in your crib in your room until we have a monitor. You do not fall a sleep easy
at night.

*Your favorite time of the day is around 12 noon or sometimes 10:30-11:30...and
you are all smiles and giggly, a very happy baby boy!

*You can hold your neck up by yourself allot, and have great control. Your
strong, and love to kick your legs and fling your arms around. You love to lay
your neck back and strech out, looking all around, up and down.

*We can get you to laugh by tickling you, and this makes us smile so big and laugh
too. We love seeing you smile and hearing you laugh.

*Tummy time is getting better for you and you make allot of noises when your on
your tummy and it appears you like it more and more. You get frustrated though
that you cannot move (or at least it seems so)...

*You have had your first overnight visit, it was at Aunt Christie's house. She
made you laugh too (by tickling you), she loved having you over.

*You attended your first Andel Family Renuinon.

*You don't nap very well, and it is difficult getting you to nap.

*You love to have a bath, and look up at the faucet while leaning your head back
in the water.

*Your still wearing 0-3 clothes. I still love dressing you, your soooo cute!!!

*You really enjoy your swing, thank goodness!

*Your gassy allot, and cry really loud when your upset, hungry or tired.

*Your smile is contagious! We adore you. We are so blessed to have you.

*Your weighing about 12 lbs and are around 24 inches long.

*You had your 2nd overnight visit with Mommy at Mom Mom and Grandad's house while
Daddy did a 24 hour clinical for School. We missed him dearly.

*You had your first playdate, Sophie Sunshine Pollard. You and her are so
different. She seems to be much quieter and shy, whereas, you were smiling and
making all kinds of noises...over all it went well. Just hung out here at home.

*You went to your first visit with your Grandparents in Richmond.
Went well, had dinner at Larry's and visited.

*We are starting to see your expressions more and more and everyone tells us that
you are so cute, and make so many facial expressions, more than most babies.

*Growing up too fast! We love you more and more everyday.
