More Funny Faces

This first one is Andrew's infamous "whistle face".

Doesn't he look thrilled with our kisses in the last picture?

Our Little Houdini

Even with his small size, Andrew was a little escape artist.  He would undoubtedly be able to wiggle his way out of any swaddle and scoot himself up to the top of his crib.  The first few times we were surprised, and then we just realized that he was a little Houdini!

Little Man Faces

From the beginning we have called Andrew "Little Man" because of his very grown-up facial expressions.  His affectionate nickname by some is "the Judge" because he always seems to be studying people.

Andrew Meets Lily Catherine

Just a couple days after we got home, Cate brought Lily Catherine over to meet Andrew.  She was very interested in him, and kept wanting to touch his face.  At times she was very sweet, but as we all know 9 month olds don't know their own strength.  A couple times I think Andrew got a few "bonks" on the head.  Amazingly he slept through them all.  And while we were up in the nursery that day, you can see the picture of what our dogs were doing outside. Thankfully Josh and my mom took care of hosing them down.

Bringing Andrew Home

After a 16 day stay in the Vanderbilt NICU, we were SO excited to bring Andrew home.  He slept during the entire car ride, and he met Jake and Lexi once we got home.  They took to him right away, and spent most of the afternoon "guarding" his crib while he slept.
