Here is the long awaited blog entry. Well I guess Easter and Andrew's first birthday have pasted since I have blogged. The top few pics are from Easter that we spent at Grandnana and Granddaddy's. Elmo was a special gift from Grandnana and daddy. The next pics are from Andrew's party at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. Andrew had a blast and the weather cooperated. There was a great turnout and Andrew was exhausted by the time we got home. Thank you everyone for making Andrew's birthday so special. There is a sweet pic of Andrew watching out the doorway. He thinks this is the next best thing to being outside. We went on a little vacation to G.N. and G.D.'s cabin with them in Arkansas. Andrew has so much fun and laughed and giggled the whole time. We took him hiking in Devil's Den on Darin's back. Andrew loved every minute of it!! Uncle Justin was at the cabin as well and Andrew is a big fan of his(Justin and Andrew in pic). Andrew really is a good boy and stays busy with his trucks and balls. Andrew has a trip to the developmental pediatrician and he is behind on a few skills. We were told his gross motor skills were at 7 mos. and language at 9mos. Mommy and daddy are determined to get Andrew to crawl soon. He has started creeping and we have exercises to work with him on. ECI came to evaluate Andrew as well and he qualifies for some therapy once a week. I hope to get that started ASAP. He really is strong, but developmental delays are very common among preemies, especially given how early and small he was. Andrew says mamma, dadda and "trucka trucka"(truck we think). He is all boy, that is for sure! Grandaddy is in the process of building Andrew a swing off of the porch. He will love that! We are going to take Andrew to the Fort Worth zoo today with Grandma Ada. I must go get ready.
