10 MONTHS?!!!

Didn't I just do an update for his 9 month birthday? Well, he just keeps right on growing up. Yesterday Andrew turned 1o months old & we had an adventure all the way to Longwood (about 1.5 hour drive) to see the ophthalmologist. He played all the way there & all the way home; and in the waiting room! He was being a little loud in the waiting room. It was funny, I had to get him to practice his whispering because there was 2 other babies there sleeping. Of course he made friends with all the ladies in the office, especially when we were leaving & they offered us this mini pair of grandpa glasses since he had his eyes dilated. As you can imagine most kids don't leave them on, but my Andrew, always the exception, flirted with his big cheeks hanging out for about 10 minutes before he decided he should eat them. I saved them though so we could get a picture when we got home. We got a good report from the ophthalmologist. Andrew's eye misalignment is due to the muscles, which is corrected with surgery (outpatient). I opted to take him back for remeasurement in 2 months to make sure they aren't changing before going ahead with the procedure. AND his cardiologist already gave the okay to have it done with the pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists. So there you have it. We were very happy that his eyes are healthy otherwise. Andrew needs those breaks every now & then : )
I think we captured his new tricks on the video I posted a couple days ago. Besides that Andrew is trying to decide if he really wants to scoot or not. I've worked with him on it a bit & now I'm leaving him to it. I just put him on the floor with a bunch of toys out of reach. Hopefully he'll take the leap soon because I think he can do it he just needs to realize it. Then we're really in for it. Can't wait!
As always, Thank you for your continued prayers and support. The awe of how well our little miracle is doing never wears off. What a joy!
