Ande at 2 months!!!

2 months old!!!

This is Ande at 1 month!

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by! My little Chubsy Wubsy turned 2 months on December 22nd! So here are some things that he is doing now!

* He holds his head up very well now!

* He smiles when I talk to him or smile at him, and if I say, "Ande, where's mommy's smiles?" He smiles really big! LOVE IT!

* He coos and makes sounds when we talk to him.

* He is staying awake more and so car rides are getting to be a little bit harder.

* He goes to bed at 9:30, and doesn't wake up until about 2 AM! YAY!!!

* Every night he falls asleep in his swing while I relax in the bath.

Ande is such a sweet little boy and we all love him so much! His older siblings love to help mommy, but sometimes they help TOO much! LOL! Poor Ande doesn't get any rest when they are around!

1 month old and a Blessing

My sweet little boy turned 1 month on November 22nd, which is when he was blessed. Since Antonio is a convert to the church and does not yet hold the Melchezidek priesthood, my dad is the one who blessed him. My family, my best friend Tarah and her hubby, Antonio's friend from work and his wife, and our friends the Christensen's all came for his big event.
I can't believe my baby is already one month. He wasn't due until December 4th, but well he is here. He has been so much fun and is such a good baby. His nickname from my dad is little billygoat, because he makes so many noises and really sounds like a goat. It is so cute. I just wish he could stay small forever!

Happy Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving my mom, dad, Aleah, Caleb, and Kaprial came and stayed at our house, which meant for my little family that we were going to get an AWESOME Thanksgiving meal! Mom made tons of cakes and pies, ham and turkey, my favorite rice, green bean casserole, gravy, and mashed potatoes. It was absolutley delish! We had the missionaries over for dinner and played board games. Then mom and I took a nap. Later that evening, we all went to see New Moon. It was so much fun and I loved hanging with my family. This was by far the BEST Thanksgiving I have had in about 6 years!

Halloween Fun!

I am a little bit late in posting this, but here it goes. This year for Halloween Tony took the little ones out Trick-or-Treating while Ande and I stayed home and passed out candy. Joseph was Snake Eyes, the ninja from GI Joe, Michael was Woody from Toy Story, Channing was a princess, my little Ande was a monkey, and I was a Cheetah. Every Halloween, my mom would make Chili and a witches brew (root beer), so I decided to carry that tradition in our little family. The kids thought that the witches brew was soooo cool!!! Anyways, it was a really fun year!

Finally some pictures of baby Ande!!! We came home from the hospital yesterday evening and Ande is doing so well! We are truly blessed and happy to have this little one as a part of our family! He is such a joy already!

Ande has ARRIVED!!!

Just a quick update! Ande has arrived. On Wednesday October 21, 2009, around 2:45 PM, my water broke. We rushed to the hospital and the doc delayed delivery until tests were run to make sure Ande's lungs were strong enough. Ande was born Thursday October 22, 2009 @ 5:47 PM, via C-section! He is 6 weeks 1 day early, however he is doing wonderfully! He is perfectly healthy! He stays in the NICU to be monitored 24/7 because of his preemie status! He weighed in at 5 lbs 8 oz and was 19 1/4 inches long!!! He is a beautiful mixture of mommy and daddy and we love him so much!!! We will post pictures soon as mommy is still in the hospital and can't leave until Sunday! We love you all and appreciate everyone's prayers during this time!!!
