Drew is getting so big! Drew now weighs about five pounds 12 ounces and he is getting some pretty chubby cheeks. He took a huge step today, Drew was off of oxygen when we walked into the NICU today around 3:oo pm and he was still off of oxygen when we left at 10:00 pm!! We were so excited for him, he looks so grown up without his nasal cannula. We hope that he can last through the night without his oxygen but we are so proud of our little guy for how long he has lasted on his own, this was a nice surprise today. Drew usually likes to pull on his tubes and yank the prongs out of his nose and because he didn't have his nasal cannula in we had to find him a new toy to play with today. We went home and got him his Denver Bronco crib mobile. Drew spent about ten minutes staring at the little horses going around and then decided that it was time to try and grab them. He had so much fun reaching and hitting the horses and Drew would kind of get a proud look on his face each he was able to touch one. We are so amazed at how far he has come and we know that he still has some challenges ahead but we have been extremely blessed to watch his miraculous progress. Drew is so precious to us and we are privileged to be his parents.

Oh my gosh you guys thats great. And now without his little tubes in his nose you can tell he has jen nose its the cook nose. This is so fun watching him progress thanks for sharing...
That is such great news! In one of the pictures he totally looks like Ryan!
Okay...I know that everyone is putting in their two cents about who he looks like, but I have to say that the first picture looks a lot like Tyler!
How fun to see him grow! What a big step to be off oxygen! Good job Drew!
Such great news! No cannula and he is reaching out for his mobile! Proff of vision and good motor skills. It seemed by the time we finally got McKenna off oxygen, 36 weeks, she had it out of her nose more than in. So happy for the three of you. You are such an adorable family.
