Tomorrow Drew will be three weeks old! It's amazing that time is going so fast- we're definitely starting to notice the change in him as he has gotten little wrinkles on his arms and legs from new fat stores. He's starting to look much more round and much less like a scrawny newborn- soon he'll be roly poly! For the most part though he still looks pretty similar- long and lean (he was born average for weight but something like 99th percentile for height- again, definitely Andy's genes kicking in over mine).

We had an eventful week here- lots of trips to visit folks and be adored by all. He even took his first trip to Decore to meet all of Daddy's coworkers and to check things out. He wanted to explore the shop floor, but sadly they don't make safety goggles or earplugs for infants, so that will have to wait. Drew went to his cousin Jessica's graduation where he peacefully slept through the insanely loud organ music and screaming hordes (as I said, the dogs seem to have done wonders for his general chaos threshhold). He also really enjoyed being the center of attention at her party- all of the women fought for turns holding him and he has continued to evade being put down pretty much ever, since everyone always wants to hold him. (I have a feeling this one will come back to bite us when he's older, but it's hard to deny him at this point, especially because he's SO sweet when he curls up in a ball and sleeps on your chest- who could resist?)



We also went to his first professional sports game on Saturday- the Dodgers kicked Cubby butt and we were there in person to witness! Drew was really good and slept through most of the game, but woke up in time for the big 7th inning upset in which we scored 5 runs. He liked checking out the crowd and people watching. Proof he was there:





Drew has still been trying very hard to find his thumb- this seems to be the biggest obsession of his waking moments these days and is, sadly for us, the one thing that can reduce him to hysterics relatively consistently. (Who wouldn't be frustrated at the fact that they cannot do the ONE thing that will complete them and make them happy all the time?) We're trying to be as encouraging as possible of his attempts and to give him pointers whenever possible, but know it's also somewhat a matter of time, since his fine motor skills still leave a bit to be desired. Hopefully by the next time I write I'll have more victorious news on that front. Drew says hi to all and sends love and kisses (well, more like licks, but they're still very sweet).
