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.
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.
A few pictures of Andrew after his morning bath. He loves to feel clean! He sits contently in the comfort bather and then we wrap him up for warmth in the hooded towel.
Andrew James is growing like a weed in his first month. He is out of the newborn onesies and onto 0-3 month old clothes. It is really crazy how big he has become...and it is just beginning. He is the highlight of our day, and we are so fortunate that he is healthy. We have had a busy month with lots of visitors, Phil working and coaching, leaving Becky at home most days alone with Andrew. The weekends go by extremely fast, and we try to get as much done as we can. We are planning a nice walk in the park later this afternoon. We had James, Becky's brother, and his kids in town this past week, so Andrew was able to meet his cousins Matthew and Lauren and of course his uncle James. The time they spent together was very special and I know that Matthew and Lauren are excited to teach Andrew James the tricks of the trade.
Grandma and Grandpa Shew (weird to write that mom and dad), came to visit us. Here are some pix from the visit. The last picture (the one in the stripes) is Andrew's first Easter, which he did absolutely fantastic. He was a little squirmy, but fairly quiet throughout the entire service.
Andrew has a few places to hang out and relax. Here he is in his car seat, his travel swing and his boppy. He is a mellow baby as long as he's warm and cozy.
So after almost a week in the luxurious confines of SkyRidge Medical Center, Becky, Andrew and i made it home. It feels so great to be home. Now the fun begins since there isn't an official nursery where the baby can be for a little mommy and daddy nap. So far everything is going well. We will keep you posted. Here are a few pictures before leaving, and a couple with some new visitors and friends. Brian, Jamie and Hudson Harris stopped by, and then Doc, Jess, Sofia and Kate Weidknecht did as well.
