December Pictures

Hanging out in my bouncer. This is where he spent most of his time the first couple of weeks. 

 What are these things?!

 One of his first outfits that (kind of) fit. This was supposed to be his going home outfit but it was too big so we had to save it. 

 Sitting with his buddy, Gus. 

 Twiggs came to visit for a week and this is pretty much how they spent the whole week. :)

Hachie Christmas

Here are some pictures of Drebs while we were in Waxahachie for Christmas. 

 I think he was telling me to put that camera away NOW! :)

First Christmas

I took a set of pictures of Andrew under the tree. This was with our new camera and I didn't have the best time with it. But I loved his little Santa outfit (from Megan) so I couldn't resist. 

This was Christmas eve. We always do Eve with Brian's parents and family. Andrew slept through most of it. :)

We attempted to get a picture of all the men in the family. FAIL. :) Andrew was screaming and Chaz wouldn't  get in the picture at all. So this is the best we could do. 

We spend Christmas day with my parents. Here is the little man in his Santa outfit again. It only lasted about 20 minutes before he got too hot. My little man is hot-natured, just like his momma. 

Andrew got some new bibs, outfits, toys...you know, everything he needed. :) haha It was a great first Christmas and good to spend time with our families. We stayed in Waxahachie for almost two weeks and boy, were we ready to get home. We enjoyed the trip but we were glad to get back to our own little routine in our own house. :) 

Merry Christmas!

Andrew - One Month

I am writing this post sooo very late so I don't even remember what Andrew's stats were at one month. I do know:

• He was still in newborn diapers and newborn clothes, even some preemies too. 
• He was still sleeping quite a bit.
• He learned to love his swing and would sit in it pretty content and just hang out.
• He was about 8 pounds
• I was still on maternity leave and loving every minute with him!

November Pictures

Just some pictures of the new baby during our first month at home. It's pretty much how I spent my maternity leave - taking pictures :)

First Bath

Andrew got his first bath during his second week home. His cord fell off after about 6 days so up to that point, he was just getting wiped down with a washcloth. The first bath was exciting but I wasn't exactly prepared. We got a baby bath at one of our showers but I thought he was too small for it so I just held him in there. He was a slippery little sucker. After that, I used the baby bath and he loved bathtimes. 

Here he is - with no clue about what is going to happen...

 Getting undressed. Simba was very helpful in those first few weeks. :)

The dogs were very interested in what was going on. :)

And we are finally done. 

Twiggs was nearby to comfort the little man. 

Nice and warm now :)

Thanksgiving

Andrew's first Thanksgiving. We had both sides of the family here plus Dawn and her family came over. It was a full house and we loved it. Andrew was only a week old here. 

 This was also the first time that dad got to meet Andrew. 

 Simba was really excited about Andrew so Aunt B was giving him some lovin. 

 Again, this is pretty much how they spent the weekend. :)
