Andrew feeding himself and finding bath time fun :)

In the past couple of weeks, Andrew has become quite self sufficient...so he thinks. He tried feeding himself one night when Becky turned her head and you will see the results. Added onto the clip is showing the little fish that he will surely become. Taking after daddy isn't such a bad thing.

Jayhawk fan at 7mos

A.J. says "Rock Chalk Jayhawk!" He is excited for KU basketball this season. Kelly bought him his terrific Kansas tracksuit. He is ready to rock! He had so much fun giggling, he spit up his dinner immediately following the video shoot.

Big Week for Andrew James

This past week, Becky and I have noticed some big changes in Andrew. He is able to support himself for a little while sitting up, and he has finally mastered rolling over from back to stomach. It is too funny to watch, as when he is on the belly his arms and legs started moving wildly like a frog. He is extremely curious, and is always looking around at his surroundings. Before long, he will be up and moving around. All is well with the Shew's. Looking forward to Andrew's first Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Andrew loves to read

While reading to Andrew, he started to let out a high pitch squeal and kicked his legs wildly. Pretty entertaining. The other video is of daddy "belly biting" Andrew, which gives him a huge smile. He really seems to enjoy it. Today will be our first trip to the Denver Zoo. Should be a blast.

Summer Events

Well, here we are, celebrating Labor Day weekend. The summer has come and gone and school is in full swing. We are thrilled to be settled into our new home. Small projects have already begun with new carpet in the front room and the removal of old landscaping in the front yard. Andrew is adjusting to life at daycare and we are so proud of him! Each day he brings more smiles to our faces; he is the absolute light of our lives. Thank you, everyone, for your patience in waiting for us to update our blog. Time got away from us and so we are making one large posting of the many adventures that have occurred over the past 2+ months.

So while Becky and Andrew were napping, funnel clouds were forming outside our loft looking towards the mountains. Pretty crazy. In addition, there are pictures from Grandma (Honey's) Haus', birthday and some attempts at getting Andrew to smile.

Andrew's first road trip

The Shew family braved their first road trip with Andrew in tow. He did awesome, only waking when it was time to eat. We had a great time visiting with Grandma and Grandpa Shew. Dad was able to Mtn. bike with Grandpa and Becky went on a taily walk with Andrew. Andrew met his Great-Grandma Goldie as well. The weather was pretty nice with occasional rainstorms. Andrew has found his hand/fist and is constantly chewing on it. He also has started to smile (hard to tell by the pictures as he doesn't smile while on camera), and is developing a wonderful disposition. Here are a few of the most recent pictures.
