Almost Nine Pounds!




Drew weighs a whopping 8 pounds 15 ounces now! It is hard to remember how small he was just a month ago. Since coming home Drew has gained 2 pounds 9 ounces, he weighs 40% more than he did four weeks ago! He has also gained an attitude:) He knows that all he has to do is let out a little whimper and someone will rush over to pick him up and entertain him. Drew loves his little stuffed animals (an elephant and his bear), he loves his bottle, binky, swing, mobile, mirror, boppy pillow, car seat, and he loves to be on his tummy. Pretty much Drew loves everything except for sleeping in his crib or getting his diaper changed. We love everything about our little guy, he is so much fun!

I think Drew and Elli could have a great competition on who has bigger cheeks. Aren't they so great to kiss?! Oh, he's a cutie!

Oh, Jen - he's beautiful! I haven't visited your blog in a while and I can't believe what a big boy he's becoming. That's fantastic. I was out of town on your baby shower day and was so bummed to have missed it. Hope to see you and Drew soon. Rebecca (Shelbs Mom)

Wow, we celebrated when McKenna hit double digits. Drew is growing so fast! It looks like your love and diligence is paying off. Your blog inspired me to start one for the girls at brianbodenfamily.blogspot.com. Some proof that life just keeps getting better after the NICU discharge. Congratulations...
