Day Care Fun

See what fun Andrew has at Villa Maria! Here he is taking a walk with his friend Sam Bonis (thanks for the photo Ellie!). Pete says it looks like they are on a ride at Great America! Ha!

Funny Girl

Kids really do say the darnedest things! We were hanging with the Snyders this weekend and Elizabeth and I were discussing the Olympics. She randomly said that Andrew was going to be a swimmer. I said that I didn't think he would be tall enough and probably would be better suited to be a wrestler. She said, "Why? Because he's got the big guns?" Hilarious!

And earlier when she was holding him she was looking at his pointy 'Spock' ear and asked her Mom if Andrew was going to be an elf when he grew up! Where does an almost 6 year old come up with this stuff!!

Growing Out and Milestones

Andrew had his 4 month check up this week and he's growing! He is now 24 inches tall (40th percentile) and 15 lbs 8 oz (50th percentile). No worries about the height - Pete compared his numbers to a 3 month old (what he should be) and he would be 80th percentile. Not that anyone's counting! Ha! So he's growing fully on breast milk alone. We will see how long we can keep up with the pumping, as he is only bottle fed. I am hoping to do it another month or so.

We went to visit Nana and Papa this weekend since Daddy had a bachelor party to attend. We had so much fun with lots of visitors and Sophia. Great Uncle Steve and Great Aunt Jeanette visited with Great Gram, and Uncle Joe and Aunt Kristin (and Cousin Stopulos too)! Only a few more months and we will be able to visit 2 cousins in Des Moines! Of course Sophia, Aunt Kelly and Uncle Chris were there too. And Mommy's high school friends came over to hang as well.

We hit another milestone while we were there too - Andrew started rolling over. Life is ever-changing!!



We are so truly blessed with Andrew. Every time I look at him I remember what a miracle he is and how lucky we all are. Life is so great!!
