Poor Lucy

Lucy as a puppy
Lucy now..relaxing with Drew

Since Lucy is our "dog baby" I thought I should enter a post about her. Everyone has been asking how she is doing with the baby. She is doing really great; she will occasionally try to lick him but will back off if we tell her no. Andy and I feel guilty and think that she is feeling left out. We know that dogs aren't really capable of that emotion but we feel bad for her anyway. In looking through the hundreds of photos we now have of Drew (which far exceeds the Lucy photos we have taken) I found puppy pictures of her and thought I would post it along with a recent photo to pay tribute to our poor doggie who is now #2. Sorry Luce.

Downward Drew

Warrior Position?

Hanging out in his nursery

Drew and I had a very active day today. We did our first mommy and baby yoga class with our friends Alyssa, her baby Zack and Caryn and her baby Stella. Drew laughed at me the whole time...I laughed at myself a bit too. I was never much of a 'yogi' before him and now that my body has changed I am not much of one now. We had fun so we are going to keep going and hopefully get me back into shape. When we came home we practiced our poses and played in his room. Then daddy came home and we did a little dancing. Needless to say it is 8:oo and he is down for the count!

Cape Codder

Daddy and Drew at Granny and Poppy's house.

Mommy and Drew on the Beach in Cotuit...look at the crazy girls in the water behind us!!

We are on the Cape with Drew this week. It is our first time down for the season and we decided that we had to show him the beach. The weather is beautiful! However, like New England weather goes it looks like the end of the week is going to be lousy again.
Drew's three cousins were here Friday and Saturday and the girls were having lots of fun holding the baby. We have been to see Poppy twice and he is doing great and getting strong.

Two Month Birthday Present

Drew is 2 months old today and he woke up with his first cold. He sounds so sad all congested, but he is still smiling. We spent some time in the bathroom with the steam and that seemed to help a little and we are keeping him upright to avoid the post nasal drip. No matter what we do, Andy and I seem to still keep getting slimed! That's ok, all we want is for the first cold to be over quick. It is hard to see your baby sick.

Bumbo Seat

Drew got a Bumbo seat today and I think he likes it. He is still a little wobbly for it, but he can stay in it for a good couple minutes. He was laughing and smiling while sitting upright like a big boy. I can not believe how big he is getting. We go to the doctor on Friday for his 2 month visit and Andy and I have a feeling that his weight is going to be off the charts! However we are not looking forward to all of those shots...I think that I may take it harder than Drew.

New Friends

Drew and I have been going to the Great Beginnings class at Isis Maternity. We have a great time playing, singing and interacting with our new friends. Here are all the babies!

Drew's Baptism

We had Drew's Baptism on Easter Sunday. We started the day with 9:00 mass and he was perfect..sleeping through most of it. Then the Christening was at 1:00 and again, he slept through most of it..he didn't even open his eyes for the holy water. Afterwards, everyone came back to the house for an Easter Luncheon. We had a very nice day! Here is a picture of us with Drew's godparents: Uncle Bill and Auntie Laura.

Meet Andrew Joseph

Six days late and after a long labor, Drew finally arrived at 12:01 p.m. on February 14th. He was 8 lbs 1 oz and 20.5 inches long. Andy and I couldn't be happier!

We have been home now for three weeks..time has flown and Drew has grown! We went to the doctor on Tuesday and he was 10 lbs 1 oz. I would say that 2 pounds in three weeks is pretty impressive growth.

This picture was taken just minutes after his birth. He had his eyes wide open from the moment he was born! Here he definetly has Daddy's eyes.
