What Drew is up to!!

He has gotten so big. We had to weigh him yesterday to get an update on his dosage for his reflux medication and he weighs almost 14 pounds and is 24 inches long. That means he has put on 4 pounds and grown 5-6 inches since his 2 month visit. He is no longer our little preemie. He is also getting real close to sitting up (he sits a lot because of his reflux, so he practices a lot). He has started playing in his exersaucer and he has also joined us at the dinner table (he's not eating yet, but he watches and is starting to get interested in food).

Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. We started off Friday with decorating Easter eggs and making rice krispie eggs, bunnies and chicks. We ended the weekend with a great breakfast at church, fellowshiping and worshiping with friends and family, and spending the day and Grammy and Papa's.

This is what Drew did while we made Rice Krispie treats

GG's Visit

GG (my grandmother) visited a couple of weeks ago. We love having GG visit and I know she was excited to see how much the kids have changed since she last saw them. She had a special treat one night in that she got to babysit Drew while we took Addy to see Toy Story on Ice. We had lots of fun GG and can't wait to see you again.

Addy's Spring Sing

Addy's preschool had a spring program they call Spring Sing (took me back to Harding days) for the 3 year old class a couple of weeks ago. Addy did great singing and doing the motions. All the kids had a lot of fun, and they love their music teacher, Ms. Melissa.

3 Months Old!!

Today Drew is 3 months old. We celebrated by having our 4th home study visit, two more to go then his adoption will go back to the judge and be finalized. Drew is getting big and changing every day. Unfortunately, the last few weeks have been pretty rough. He is fussing A LOT and we can't seem to find a reason for it. We have switched his formula and are giving a chiropractor a try to see if it will help. Drew's first chiropractor visit was yesterday and he goes back on Monday. We are hoping things will get better soon.

• We don't have a doctor visit this month, but I estimate that he has grown 3 inches or so since his 2 month visit and is around 12 pounds.


• He is holding his head up really well.


• He loves to talk and coo. He started laughing a couple weeks ago -- he doesn't do it often, but when he does, it is too cute.


• He is eating 4 ounces every 3 hours during the day. At night he sleeps about 6 hours and then 4 hours. (Goes to bed at 8:30, woken for dream feed at 10:30 and then sleeps until 4:30 or 5:00 and then goes back down until 8:00/8:30 or so).


• He still absolutely loves Addy. He lights up when she shows him attention. Addy loves him also and has been a lot of help "watching" him for me.


• He is getting a little better about being put down. He still prefers to be held, but he loves to lay on the floor right after he eats and just stare at the ceiling (he loves ceiling fans), play on his playmat or play with his Kickin' Bobbin'. I have also been able to get him to take a few daytime naps in his crib the last few weeks.
