Andrew is Three Months Old!

Today is Andrew's three month bday. He's still the best baby in the whole world, and he is growing like crazy. I think he is pushing the 14-15 pound mark. The kid is chubby and all smiles. He loves to giggle and chat. Daddy and Abbie especially like to make him giggle. We love you Andrew. Thanks for another great month.

Mom: I know. She needs sleeves.
