Two Months Old...

Andrew is getting big, fast. At his two month checkup he weighed 13 pounds, 7 ounces and was 25 inches long. Wow! Enjoy some of his latest pictures. He sure is smiling a lot; however, the flash makes him stop smiling and cross his eyes. I'll try to post some smiling pictures when I get a few on film!

I Want To Be A Rock Star...

Here's a new look. Austin loves to pose for the camera. Thanks Pa and Uncle for the Rock star shirt!

Happy Easter...

Here are a few pictures from Andrew's first Easter. Sorry they're a little late, but shouldn't it be Easter right about now anyway? Austin had a ball finding eggs and looking for his basket. He also found Andrew's basket and opened his gifts for him. Andrew slept through the whole thing.

Black Eye...

This picture is from a few weeks ago. Austin and another student at school were both trying to get the same Lincoln Log. Apparently the other kid let go, and Austin won the Log as well as a black eye. An accident report was sent home from school. He recovered only to have a similar experience yesterday. Only this time it was a rubber ducky, and the other student just hit him with it. The second "black eye" isn't quite as bad. Another accident report was sent home from school.

Andrew's A Month Old...

The boys sure are getting big fast! Andrew had his one month check up recently. He's going to be a big kid like his brother! He weighed 11 pounds, 3 ounces and was 23 1/2 inches long. Below are a few pictures of Andrew at five weeks old. Also, there is a picture of Austin with his cousin David, and another one of Austin holding Andrew. Austin's very excited that I return to work next week because Andrew will be going to school with him every day. I'm glad Austin's ready for this change because it's coming up too quickly for me!

New Baby...

Well, I haven't gone a complete year without updating our blog. I've been a little busy being pregnant and such. I guess there's no good excuse for the lapse in pictures. So, after a month of waiting, (yes, Andrew's a month old now) here's the boy!

Here's Austin's first look at Andrew.

Can you tell he's related to Stratton?

The first family photo after we returned from the hospital. (A little worn out!)

Sleeping babies are so sweet.

Here's Andrew at about three weeks old. He's not really sitting up on his own yet, John's just kind enough to help me pose him.

Happy Fourth...

Here are a few pictures of our celebration this evening. Austin thought our little display of sparklers and bottle rockets was great! We took him to a 30 minute display last night in Beech Grove, where he asked if it was over 10 minutes into it. Still, he enjoyed the fireworks. Also, I've thrown in a picture of Austin dressed up at a wedding last weekend. He was the ring bearer in our good friend Amanda's wedding. He did a great job and even bowed his head during all of the prayers. Dressing up was really fun for him and we could hardly get him to take his dress clothes off for bed time that night! Hope everyone had a safe and happy celebration!
