Venturing to the Outside World

Leaving off from last time, we spent our Friday night giving Andrew his first bath. He was okay in the beginning, but started to cry after a while. I think James and I just took too long; and Drew wanted nothing more to do with the whole ordeal. Our Friday nights have gone from dancing at the club to giving our son a tub. I guess we aren't kids anymore, huh?

James and I took advantage of being able to get out of the house this weekend and took Andrew venturing to the outside world. Saturday morning, we took Andrew to look at what could have been his first house--and he slept through the whole thing. Later that evening, Drew took his first extended car ride of around 45 mins down to Ngoai's and Papa's house--slept the entire car ride down. There, we spent the evening with family including my aunt's family who were visiting from Dallas--and he slept almost the whole time. Jenny and Justin also stopped by for a visit so that A.J. could meet his first friend, Eric--again, slept during their entire visit! Then, this morning, we took a walk to our nearby Target--and slept through this excursion as well. See a pattern!? Hopefully, with all these trips outside and with more to come, we can work out his jaundice.

So, Andrew sleeps better during the day, but we are seeing a night owl in the making. I guess he is his mother's son! He likes to stay awake for about an hour or so and not go to bed until 1 am. I guess his sleeping patterns are changing. Stay tuned...

Here's a short video of him working out his neck muscles and lifting his head with dear ole dad as he reads Bambi to him.
