Seven Weeks Old

It's amazing to see someone actually learning all of these small yet very important movements that we take for granted each day...rolling over, lifting up your head, grasping objects. Each achievement paves the way for the next.

Drew has been rolling to his side and he is especially adept at 'conversing' with us. He loves to hear us talk to him and then he responds with his own little sounds. Again, it's practice for being able to form his own words in the future. I can't wait to hear him say "Mama!" but that's getting a little ahead of myself.

Meanwhile, we put up our first real Christmas tree in the living room downstairs. It has colored lights on it and is full of a variety of ornaments, many from my own childhood. Both Andrew and I are enjoying this tree because it does remind us of our own Christmases past. And our hope is to give Drew very special memories as well. Christmas is going to be very special!
