Brotherly love

Watching these two begin to interact has been such a joy:) Teegan knows Drew's voice now & very quickly begins looking around to see where he is & what he's doing. Drew thinks it's pretty funny when Teegan smiles & laughs with him... so sweet:)

Chunky Monkey

Well Teegan has continued on his path of growing, growing, growing!! He is 7 weeks old & is pushing 13lbs (if he hasn't hit it already!). His little personality is beginning to shine through:) He is a very quiet, sweet soul... he loves to talk to his mommy & coo & smile! I cherish every minute of it:)

He'll be making a big move tonight into his own bedroom. He's been getting up about every 2hours to eat & advice has been given that he's BIG ENOUGH to be in his own room & perhaps soothe himself a little more throughout the night - he probably won't agree with this. It will be difficult for me to hear him grunting & not 'come to his rescue', but I am sure we will all be just fine & make it through!

Do you know your lyrics??

Drew singing in the backseat of the car to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"...

"Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the sta-weam
Mary Mary Mary Mary
Light-ning McQueen!"

Madison Zoo

We took a family adventure to the Madison Wisconsin zoo yesterday...what a blast:)- We took Aunt Joanie & Cousin Maddy to meet up with Cousin Amy & soon-to-be hubby, Justin, to celebrate their engagement. We had gorgeous weather just right for a picnic in the park & lots of time walking around the zoo looking at all the animals. Teegan practically slept the entire day & made the trip very easy on us:)- Which, by the way, in 3 weeks since his birth, Teegan has gained 2 lbs and now weighs 9lbs 8oz and has grown 3/4 inches...holy cow:) No wonder I am exhausted!!

Favorite Cousin

Drew has an absolute adoration for his cousin, Madison..aka, "Mannie" :) I just had to blog this picture that was taken of Teegan & Maddie because I think it's already obvious she will now have two little boys taken with her!! :) I always tell Drew, "I know how much you love Maddie but just remember you can't marry her!" :) Seriously, I wonder if he thinks about it!

2.5 weeks old

Teegan has been a wonderful addition to our family! He has the sweetest personality & literally sleeps away each day:) Sleep & eat... that's him!! Big brother Drew absolutely adores his little brother & just wants to hug & kiss him all day long:) Sometimes we have to redirect him because he loves a little too rough:)

We were blessed with so much family help and support during the first few weeks & now are officially on our own:)- We're going to spend Thursday together as a family at the Madison zoo!! Kind of our first family 'outing'!! We will also be spending some time with my cousin who recently got engaged - YEAH:) Love weddings!!

Also GREAT news is Mitch's one year probation on Dubuque Fire Department is OVER & he has been offered a permanent spot on the department - Praise God!! What a relief:) Great job on all your efforts, honey!

Enjoy the photos & more to come...
