Happy Baby Andrew

HAPPY BABY ANDREW

I don't normally break out the camera at 11:45 pm but he woke up so happy and we were up and the TV was on so I had to. I asked him what he was doing and he started laughing and cooing. It was so funny, it made my night!!! He is back to sleep now on his own. It was so great last night he slept 6.5 hours now if we just went to go to bed when he does we would get some solid sleep! Andrew has found his laugh and squeal at 2 months old! Big Brother Anthony is doing really well with Andrew and loves him very much! He loves tickling him and cuddleing with him. He fills my heart with Joy to see them getting along so well! It has been quite the change having a baby but we are getting use to being a family of four! Our church tree is up so we took advantage of it and took some family photo's!

Discovering my hands!

Friday, November 21, 2008 I was playing with Andrew on the bed and I decided to take a break and he was chilling with me and I looked over and he had his hands in his mouth it was so cute. Slowly I hear this sucking noise, I was like Oh know he found his thumb! We don't really want him to suck his thumb as you can not take away a thumb. He does not seem to do it all the time just every now and then. It was so cute though and of course I took a picture!!!

Birthdays and More

Thursday, November 20, 2008 we celebrated Anthony's 13th birthday with his Aunt Tracey and Cousin Madison for part one of his evening. We received our free burger coupon from the Red Robin Club and it was delicious. We had a fun time and Red Robin came by and we got to take our picture with him. See Madison and Anthony with Red Robin!!! We moved on to Big Al's the local bowling alley here in Vancouver. We met the Collins' Family for an hour of bowling. It was so much fun I even got a few strikes. Anthony had a fantastic night. His Birthday did not end there he was blessed to receive a bed and bedding from his Grandma and Grandpa Coats, enough cash to purchase is expensive name brand shoes and lots of finger skateboards. He also received a few books from is Aunt Tori and Uncle Tom. Friday he had a sleepover where he stayed up all night! This leads us to November 22, 2008 my 33rd birthday!!! The best parts of my day were spending my day with my friend and coworker Lisa, Anthony and Andrew oh and of course Troy and my cake!! I love the banana cake from Larson's Bakery it is a little spendy but it my day and well worth it. My day ended with a nice meal with Lisa at Applebees we made it all the way to Washougal with a blow out!!! My right tire blew up. Thank God we made it to Lisa's since we drove around a lot all day!!! Even though I the car had a flat I had a overall great day!!! Enjoy some pics from our Birthdays.

Family of Four

Our first Halloween as a family of four! Light the night this year was much different for us starting with signing in for the event I wrote down 4 instead of 3. We had a baby carrier instead of just a 12 year old running around and that 12 year old was not running around but helping this year. He did a great job and there were a lot of Mom's loving him at the little preschool bouncy house. I was proud. We had a great time and a new chapter has started as we move into the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. We are loving learning how to work with a newborn and raising a teen. Anthony turns 13 in just 6 short days and I follow two days later moving on to 33. We are really looking forward to our family of four and the blessings we have received and the ones to come. Stay tuned to the adventures of the Tremaine's has we raise out kids that are 13 year apart and we welcome all advice. TTFN
