We are really enjoying watching Andrew grow. He is smiling so much these days and giving us a few giggles every now and then. One of his newer tricks is squealing. He practiced this last week during the sermon at church and consequently won himself a debut in the nursery this week. I don't want to bore you people with the details of the daily life of a 3 month old, but James and I think he's pretty awesome. He will gnaw on anything he can get to his mouth, including, but not limited to burp cloths, blankets, James' arm, and his favorite items- his hands. Lately, he excels at having awful diapers (and therefore diaper changes) in restaurants such as Mediterranean Cuisine, El Mariachi, and Marche (gasp). The one at Marche was actually a going away present for his Aunt Caroline that she didn't have the pleasure of changing. And let me tell you, there is nothing less hipster than changing your kid's diaper in the trendy Five Points area of East Nashville in the backseat of the car. In the rain. I will be telling all his future girlfriends that story when he's allowed to date at age 21.
Andrew and I made a trip to Ripley with my parents and Meggie a couple of weeks ago to visit my grandparents. Andrew complained about not getting enough attention from all his relatives while we were there, so I'm not sure when we'll go back :). Here he is with his cousin Libby making one of the sweetest faces I've ever seen.
Currently my only "job" is to take care of Andrew and hang out with James when he isn't working. Some days I miss working, and some days it's all I can do to take care of the sweet little boy and make sure James has clean scrubs for his next shift. And I'm more thankful now than I have been since the day we married to have an understanding husband as I guess he can sometimes see the look of exhaustion in my eyes when he gets home from a 10 hour shift and I have nothing to show for my day except a sleeping baby. I feel like things will get a little easier to manage the older Andrew gets and I know God's timing will be perfect as to when and where I return to work.
Happy fall to everyone!
