Happy 8 Months

Happy 8 Months Baby Drew!!! In some ways, I feel like it was yesterday we were visiting you in the NICU twice a day, me with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes almost 24/7 and you with tubes down your nose and throat and IVs in your scalp. And in other ways, I feel like I have been wishing you would sit up for months now. It seems, the more you can do, the happier you are. And now it's official... you are one of the happiest little boys I have ever seen. You are finally sitting up (as of this week, and are a bit tipsy still), you are rolling all over the place ( no need to crawl when you can roll across the room) and you are enjoying all sorts of different baby foods. But by far, your favorite thing in the world to do, is watch Evan. Other then when you are super tired, the only time you fuss is when Evan is sleeping and you are wide awake. It's as if you are trying to wake him with your cries. As soon as he wakes up, your tears dry up and you immediately start giggling with glee!! At one point, I must admit, I was hoping time would go by a little faster. But this was when you wouldn't nurse, wouldn't sleep more then an hour or two at time and were pretty much miserable every waking hour. But now, we are having so much fun with you, I want to stop time and enjoy every second over and over again. You are so adorable, your blue eyes mesmerizing. Your smile so wide. Your sweet little neck my favorite place to kiss. I am so sorry your first 6 months were so difficult, but it looks like you are making up for lost time. Happy 8 months buddy!!
