Our Little Man - Weeks 13 & 14

Another nickname from Daddy. He sure is growing into a little man already! Just wanted to share some more photos.

Summer days

It’s been busy around here since we’ve been back from Illinois. We had to say goodbye to Jeff for a while on June 30, but he got to visit us last Sunday through Tuesday. I know Andrew loved spending time with his Daddy if even for a short time. Luckily he showed him how he all out giggles now and of course gave him lots of smiles as he always does. Daddy calls him his sweetheart and he sure is. Sometimes my eyes just well up with tears as I look at a nursing, sleeping or even giggling Andrew and think about how lucky I am.

I have to keep reminding myself how these days, weeks and months away from Jeff will go by fast and Andrew will keep me super busy.

I’m back to work part time and nanny Jess is doing well with a sometimes fussy Andrew. He is still dealing with some reflux issues I think, but it’s trial and error trying to figure out how to make him the most comfortable.

Andrew had his first time in the pool on Tuesday and he liked it! I figured he would be OK with the water, because he’s always liked baths. Luckily I found some swim trunks and a matching shirt on clearance at Kohls. They are so cute! He just needs some sunglasses. He wore a blue camouflage hat that was a little big, but did its job. I think Kellyn either bought this or passed it down from Trent.

We went shopping this afternoon…pajamas, mobile, socks and Baby Einstein toy for Andrew and skirt and tank tops for Mom at Kohls. Topped it off with a Strawberry Lime Chiller from Sonic. My favorite drink lately. Good Saturday so far!

My Baby Sister's Wedding

We had such a wonderful time and our time spent in Illinois was bittersweet as Jeff is off to training in Kansas before his overseas deployment. Here are some highlights of the trip...

Jeff and I enjoying the rehearsal dinner at Avanti's (my favorite Italian place in central IL) Jeff had the pleasure of sitting next to the very talkative pastor :-)

Decorations almost complete at the reception hall. Beth loved her chair covers!

Daddy was so good with Andrew during the wedding.
