Pictures!!

These pictures are courtesy of our friend, Andres!







Shhhh...Andrew is Sleeping!

It' so hard for me to believe that Andrew is almost 11 weeks old! Wow! Time definitely flies more and more with every new event!

We're doing great! One of the reasons (aside from finding time) that I don't blog very often is because I want to put pictures up. I mean, that's the most fun part of blogs in my opinion. But the pictures are always on Dan's computer, which is often at work when I have a chance to blog. That's why I'm writing here, but there are no pictures. I'm hoping to put some up later today. Andrew is so cute, so I really want you to see him! I know he's cuter every day!

My maternity leave is almost over, and I can't believe it! We have kept so busy that it has flown by. The week before last we spent the week at my parents' house in NC, and that was great. It was much different than usual because it was not very restful. Life is just not so restful any more. But it was still so nice to be up in the mountains with family. I guess it was restful but just not in the sleep way. Next week, I'm returning to work at the Counseling Center at FBCO, but only for a day and a half a week. I'm not too worried about this step since it's so limited. I love counseling, so I think I will enjoy the "break" and spending time with my clients. Andrew will be with Dan on Wednesday nights, which I think will be great for the two of them. And on Fridays, my sweet mother-in-law is coming to stay with him! I think that will be special too. My mom is very sad that she can't have a piece of that action, but Allegiant flights aren't that cheap!!

So what is Andrew up to? Well, he's smiling and "talking" all the time, which is a great delight! He's also quite the bobble head! The more control he has over his head, the more he insists on holding it up as much as possible. He's not sleeping through the night every night, but we have had a few, and we're headed in a good direction. My biggest challenge now is getting him to nap in his crib during the day. He does NOT like that most of the time. But he did take a two hour nap there yesterday, which was great. Evenings are always the hardest time for us, but the other night he sat happily in his bouncy seat, playing or sleeping, for a lot of the evening. I truly did not know what to do with myself!

Well, time's almost up. He's got to eat soon. But I will try to put pictures on soon!
