tummy time

This is one of Andrew's newer tricks. Actually, he's been able to lift his head & go side to side for a little while, the real trick is doing it without crying. I guess now that he is getting stronger it's not so frustrating. He just started passing things from one hand to the other this morning, but he wouldn't do it for the camera. And last night for the first time he joined in to sing with Mommy & Daddy. This boy loves music! He will break out into a huge grin whenever we start singing or when he hears the harmonica & so on. We got a big kick out of him singing along! His Grammy T is down for a couple days & he is enjoying having another playmate around. He is having a little more difficulty weening his narcotic & sedation medicines (because he is getting pretty low on them), but it amazes me what a sweet boy he is even in the mist of the discomfort. We are going a little slower this week on it so he can catch up on some missed sleep. It's really exciting to think about him getting all the way off them, so we don't want to push it too much and end up taking 2 steps back. Otherwise, he is still doing well. God has been faithful everyday in keeping him; it's just amazing.

I'm proud of him and you, Steve and Betsy.

You are showing the meaning of sacrificial love.
