Andrew Brooks Fisher Stats (10/26):
Height: 21.5 inches
Weight: 10 lbs, 13.5 oz
Clothes: Size 0-3 months
Diapers: Size 1
Eating: Breastfeeds every 2 hours, sometimes we can get a 3 hour stretch, but not very often. He likes his milk! His weight was great at the doctors, and they said just keep it up :) I have an abundance of milk, and have been feeding each time on one side to prevent the spitting up. He is a "happy spitter"
so we don't think he has reflux, thankfully. He is all boy and is very loud when he is gassy and going #2, and often looks so proud of himself when he lets one rip. LOL.
Sleeping: His best stretch is after his bath at night, going from 7pm-10pm. After that, he will go around 1.5 to 2 hours. He's been sleeping in his crib and in a swaddle. Andy is a regular Houdini when it comes to getting out of it! So far, Drew like his nap times in the swing or someone's arms for about 1.5 hours, and can sleep amazingly well with a ton of noise going on around him. He is awake more and more of the time, and rotates between a sleepy-day and a really alert/awake day.
Hair: Light Brown with a Red tint in the sunlight
Eyes: Blue Grey
Likes: Bath time, getting his hair combed, tummy time (more than the girls), watching his sisters play and when they talk to him, sometimes his pacifier. Loves to nurse and snuggle, and push up on your chest while you are holding him to get a better view.
Dislikes: Sitting in his car seat when the car is not in motion; he abhors Lindsay's pickup car line and cries the entire 20 minutes, then falls asleep as soon as we pull into the driveway. LOL. He doesn't get mad very often, but when he does he will ramp up and give us some warnings.
Our sweet boy wakes up in the morning a happy, smiley guy. He always has a big smile for his sisters, and I think they will probably elicit the first giggles too!
Andy B has been losing his hair in front and sides, and has quite the receding hairline. He looks like a sweet little old man!
Boy, is this boy STRONG! He has been trying to launch himself out of arms since day one, and will fling his wobbly head around while pushing up on your shoulder. He's a wiggly one!
Sissy Love: Drew has been getting plenty of love and kisses from his doting big sisters...
In the afternoons he likes to fuss and as soon as I put him down on the floor to kick and stretch, he is a happy camper. It's as if he is telling us, "Mama, let me loose, I want to MOVE!"
Andrew makes the cutest noise, a grunting that sounds like he is clearing his voice... it sounds a little like a dolphin. He gurgles and coos and will say, "Goo".

Tummy Time Fun... Look out Sissy's, I will be after you in a few months!!
Andrew's little personality so far is a thoughtful, observant and easy-going little guy. We love you our precious boy, and are loving every minute of joy you bring to our family!
