Da... DaDa...Da

Wow, where has the time gone???? I know, I know, I have been saying that way too often. I just can’t believe the little guy is 8 months old today!!!! Bobby and I were talking last night about how much Andrew has changed during month 6 and 7. It seemed like everything started going turbo speed as soon as he learned how to sit up by himself over the 4th of July weekend.

Da… babble babble… DADA… babble babble.. da… Tuesday night it was so precious. All three of us were on the couch hanging out and playing and all of a sudden this is what Andrew said Da… babble babble… DADA… babble babble.. da… Up until now we have randomly heard da and ma and hi. However we think it was really random. When he said it on Tuesday, Bobby’s face light up, he was beaming. I have to admit I was a little jealous. It was just special that all 3 of us were together. On Wednesday I was driving and Andrew was in his car seat “singing,” I heard it again dada!!! As of right now we have heard DaDa 4 times! There is an old wives tale that if the first word is mama your next child will be a boy and if the first word is dada the next child will be a girl. So will Andrew get a sister? (not any time soon) Time will tell if this old wives tale is true.

We have loved every minute with the little bug and I can't wait to see what month 8 holds for us. (maybe he will say mama???)

Saturday evening we all got to meet our new cousin Miss. Addyson Lynn Lewis! You can't tell in the picture, but she is so beautiful and tiny!!!

Here is a picture of Auntie Ash’s surprise late night visit on Saturday night. It was such a fun treat.

Wednesday was a long day Andrew woke up at 2 am with a fever of 102 and a snotty nose. This was Andrew’s first time with a fever. We both survived. It was hard to see the little guy uncomfortable, and I won’t lie I did enjoy how he clinged and cuddled with me more! Thankfully he woke up today fever free and standing in his crib again, so it leaves me to wonder if a new tooth will be making its appearance soon.

I have to brag on Bobby for a moment, he got a 100 on his first paper for grad school!!!! It was even a group project; his next assignment for this month is a 25 page paper. He has to find 16 multidisciplinary journal articles about a topic. I think his topic is going to be strategies to help type 2 diabetics become more compliant. Or something around those lines. So I have a feeling he will be at the library more this month.
