3 weeks old!

Cute as can be when he's happy...
Or mad!
Hanging out in the bouncy seat (thanks Molly and Gracie for letting us borrow it!)
Sleeping on Nate
Going for a run with me (the lens fogged up...that is how humid it has been lately!) Drew LOVES to ride in the jogging stroller. He just stares up at all the leaves on the trees and seems mesmerized (nevermind that he can't actually focus on object more than 10 inches away...but that doesn't seem to matter when he's looking up at sky). Then he drifts off to sleep by the time we're home.

Just a Saturday night on the town...

One of my good friends from high school, Jessica, got married and we made our first venture out of the house as a family last night. Drew got dressed in his best onesie complete with a tie (thanks Paige for the outfit!)

Cute as can be!
Me, Jess and Annie at the reception. Let's just say that I underestimated the time it would take to get Andrew fed, changed and then quickly get myself ready so we kind of missed the actual ceremony but at least we made it to the party afterwards!
He chilled out in his car seat the entire time! Such a good baby:)
And then he hung out with Nate a little that night after we got home...
We always post the cute, peaceful photos but let's be honest...babies cry! I think he was a little tired out at this point:)

Two weeks old!

Just another sleepy picture...I need to get some when he's awake!
Hanging out with dad:)
We decided to do a baby in the garden pose just for laughs!
Omi and Opa came down for another visit Sunday!
Hanging out on Omi's lap

My parents came over Saturday night for a couple hours so Nate and I could go out to eat. We are lucky to have babysitters (very willing ones!) so close by!
Falling asleep on Nate's lap...so comfy!
That's about all I've got for pictures right now...I need to be better at taking good ones while he's awake (although they probably all look the same to everyone...I think I've always thought that about my friends' baby pics...just being honest...but it is true that when it is your own baby you see all the little changes they go through in just a couple days or a week!).
Drew is settling into a nice routine (for the most part) napping well and he wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat and if we're lucky, the next time is 6:30 am. So not cool when it's 5am! That hour and a half of sleep makes a huge difference! Also, now that he's two weeks old we feel better about taking him out of the house/to public places. This will make it easier on me that's for sure! You know it's bad when you get excited about going to Target! But I know that these first few weeks are just like that. Thank goodness it's summertime and we have gone on lots of walks in the neighborhood, plus my mom has come by a few times each week just so I can run to the grocery or somewhere. Nate and I keep saying how lucky we are to have my parents close by and his parents who are willing to drive down at the drop of a hat should we need them (and they would too!) It has sure made transitioning to life with a baby easier and we are thankful for all 4 of them!

More of our first week home

Grandiddy came by for a visit!
Since Drew's cord fell off yesterday, we got to try out the whole "tummy time" thing...he was able to lift his little head up for a few seconds!
And we gave him his first bath...I think he liked it!
Wrapped up like a little mummy...this picture is kind of blurry but his little hands holding on are so cute!
And all was well until Nate unwrapped him:(
Precious!
Meanwhile in our garden...the blackberries are almost ready and I can't wait! I think we aren't going to be able to keep up with them we have so many!
Nate has done an awesome job getting the whole vegetable garden planted and weeded all spring since I wasn't able to help much this year. We've got a TON of stuff planted and I'm ready to live out of it this summer!
Summer has arrived!
Just hanging out with Nate...
And asleep finally:) That's all we've really been up to this past week. Pretty simple! It's been an easy adjustment home for the most part. Drew is still eating well and sleeping well, waking up once to eat in the middle of the night which I'm thankful for! We'll keep our fingers crossed that it lasts! It's been so much fun so far and we're loving our little guy more each day!

Just a few more pictures:)

I can't help myself! We just keep taking pictures of the little guy and I have to post them!
Erin was there for his birthday but I forgot to post a picture
Hanging out on Nate's lap...
Cooling off after a little walk in outside (it was a little hot!)
Peacefully sleeping in the bassinett
Molly, Zach and Gracie came by for dinner...sorry about that spit up incident Molly!
And of course Granna and Grandpa have come by pretty frequently too. There's that baby burrito look!
