School days - Spring 09

Andrew has been having a blast at school! He is always happy when Daddy drops him off and when Mommy picks him up! He has fun on the floor with all the toys and watching the other babies. Starting this week he even began taking all his naps in the crib, sometimes even sleeps over two hours! Mommy and Daddy sometimes can't believe his nap stats but we don't think the teachers would lie to us either! He's been busy doing some art projects too - here are scans of the things in his portfolio this month as well as his class photo!

My Baby and I Project - Week 11

It's amazing to me that today we have this wonderful little boy who is growing up in front of our eyes while exactly one year ago we were finding out I was pregnant!

If this doesn't make you smile I don't know what will...

My Baby and I Project - Week 10 & Zoo trip

This weekend was the first of 2009 with Spring like temperatures so when the Roth's asked us if we wanted to join them on a Zoo trip, we were very excited! It was Andrew's first trip to the zoo, using the big stroller and the baby carrier! He did great and seemed to really enjoy the warm weather, fresh air, tons of people and even took a little nap in the baby carrier. We got to hear the lion roar and gibbon's yell and see the gorilla's chase each other and monkey's jump all over the place. It was a great day!

My Baby and I Project - Weeks 8 and 9

Week 8: Week 8 flew by! We had a couple nights with very little sleep by the end of the week Andrew developed a bit of a cough. I took him to the pediatrician on Friday to get it looked at and it turns out he had a little fever and was wheezing a bit. The doctor had me give him a nebulizer breathing treatment in the office then she listed to him again. The medicine in the mist helped so she prescribed it in liquid form. Here's my week 8 contribution -giving my poor sick baby his breathing treatment. (Taken with my iPhone)



Week 9: SNOW day! Sunday night into Monday we got a Nor'Easter that ended up being the blizzard of '09. By Monday afternoon we probably had about 8 inches of snow. Duane and I both worked from home because Andrew's school was closed! He wasn't quite as excited about this first snow day as I'm sure he will be in a few years!
