One Month Old!

Can't believe a month has gone by already! Little Drew is finally gaining weight and getting big. He was off to a slow start but is up to 8lb 1oz and 20.5 inches. Already starting to be too long for his newborn pjs! He's doing great with holding his head up and loves mommy snuggles. He has even slept well at night a couple of times. We are trying to get a great schedule going but it is definitely hard! He loves for me to carry him in his sling. It's his most favorite place on earth! And love car rides which is a big change from his sister. But don't stop the car. That part, he hates! He is still sweet as ever and I'm trying to savor every last minute! 

Sister love

Lots of doctor visits 

Some great grandma time!

Welcome Drew!!

Only 3 weeks late but what an interesting 3 weeks it has been!! 

Andrew James Brooks was born on May 6, 2016 @ 7:59 am and weighed 7lb 8oz at 20 inches long!! It was instantly obvious that he was much quieter than his sister. 

Since he was only 39 weeks he was covered in that fancy stuff... We weren't overly excited about that part... They don't even wash it off before they hand him to you. They have changed the policy to where mom actually gets to hold baby right after they do his initial check. 

Once we got him checked out and everyone got back to the room, we were shocked at how quiet he was. He instantly caught on to breastfeeding and was eating and pooping like a champ. 

He had lots of visitors in his first few hours and loved that he got to meet his big sister! She was instantly in love with him and protective. She didn't know why anyone else was holding "mommy's baby". She says he is mommy's baby that she got at the hospital. 

So in love with our little perfect family!
