Drew is so cute! I can't help but plant kisses on him. I really can't wait to see that first smile that is in response to me (and not just gas!) and really get to know him and see how his personality emerges. Some cute things that he does so far are how he stretches after eating...he throws his head back and scrunches his face and purses his lips and seems completely satiated.
He spends a majority of the time sleeping still, but when he's awake he spends lots of time looking around and absorbing his new world. He especially likes to look at the light coming in through the blinds or the shadows on the wall. He loves to be held and likes to lay belly to belly with me or Grandma. He will entertain himself here and there for a few minutes by 'playing' in the activity gym.
He coos lots, while he's eating, when he's finished, while he's sitting in the car seat, when he's looking around...sometimes while he's eating he will give some throaty baby grunts that seem to convey complete satisfaction.
Some firsts this past week were a first card from his Auntie Brooke for Thanksgiving, first week away from Daddy (which neither of us has enjoyed), first time meeting our cousins Jerry and Renae, and his first Thanksgiving Dinner (we celebrated a week early with Brooke and David who were in town).
Grandma has been visiting with us since the 4th. Her help around the house and with Drew has been invaluable!
