Almost July!

Well I haven’t posted as soon as I thought I would…but we’ve been busy since the last post. We went to the doctor at the beginning of June and Andrew has hit the mark on the growth charts! He was 13 pounds 6 ounces which is right in the 25th percentile. The doctor was happy with his weight and she said that we could start trying cereal! We have yet to do that…we just established the feedings. He was in the 10th percentile for his head circumference and the 15th percentile for length. He is almost 2 feet tall! We had another round of vaccinations which caused a fever and a long night. Thankfully that did not last too long. That is my least favorite part of doctor’s visits! We made the trip to New Buffalo…finally! Andrew did great in the car ride…even the 4 ½ hour trip back due to the storm. A lot has happened in the last month…we have visited the zoo, Aunt Erin came for a week and a new friend Matthew was born! We also celebrated Father's Day...although we woke up to find that Wrigley had jumped out of the window in the middle of the night. We had no idea and we were so lucky that someone had picked him up and taken him to the shelter. So Brian's first father's day started with a search for the dog. Today we finally got together with all of the babies that we met during our stay at the NICU. When we met in February we all said that we would get together in June with all of the babies…I can’t believe the time has gone by so quickly. I posted a picture of all of our friends…minus one of the boys who fell asleep from the party. Andrew has really changed a lot…babbling a lot, lifting his head up and a lot of hand chewing. We think that a tooth is trying to come in…he hasn’t been fussy but the signs are all there and I can kind of see the start of something on his gums! The most recent development (and probably one of the best) is the 7-10 hour nights of sleep that we have had! All of a sudden Andrew decided to sleep! The first night it happened I woke up in somewhat of a panic. I didn’t know what to think! I guess it all happens eventually. Well, it’s hard to believe that it is almost the 4th of July…we’re heading to New Buffalo for a nice vacation!
