The best thing about being a teacher is, when you have a baby in the spring, you get extra long maternity leave! I don't have to be back to work until the end of July, so we will be able to make numerous trips to Grandma & Grandpa's house in the next few weeks. That is assuming I'm not disowned for posting this picture on the internet. (My mom, though beautiful, is a little camera shy.) Andrew and I went down Tuesday morning for a two day visit to my mom and dad's farm in Coshocton County. Andrew loved being cuddled by Grandma and was all smiles for her! He didn't mind sleeping in a different house and kept to his regular sleeping patterns. Andrew's cousins, Hannah and Tristan were there, too. Hannah (7 mos.) was facinated with him. She would smile and flap her hands in excitement. Then she would reach out to him, but carefully pull here hand back - she wasn't quite sure if she should touch him. So cute! On Wednesday, Mom and I took Hannah, Tristan, and Andrew shopping. Quite an adventure with two babies and an 11 year old who wants everything! Lots of clothes, a few toys, and two hermit crabs later (we thought the first hermit crab might get lonely), we came home tired and worn out. We were so tired, Andrew and I decided to stay one more night, even though he had an early morning appointment with the pediatrician. We left at 7 a.m. the next morning and made it just in time (Mommy had to stop at McDonalds for a large coffee!) Andrew weighed in at 9lbs. 2oz. and measured 22 inches long. What growing boy! He even tried to roll over when the doc put him on his belly! He smiles a lot, and is beginning to coo as well. I'll try to catch a grin on camera to post here - he is so precious! Here are some more photos of him and some cute shots of Hannah, too!

So cute! Okay, now in these pictures I think Andrew looks like Phil. In another shot, a couple of posts ago...I really thought he looked like your dad. My, how they change so fast!
Well said.
