In The Beginning…

It’s taken me a little over a month to finally get this up and running, but, thanks to Aunt Carol, I finally have a way to keep everyone updated on The Amazing Drew – as well as his mom and dad. =) I have so much to share, but I will try to dole it out in bite size pieces. Let me say here at the beginning that I recognize that Tim and I are typical proud parents who think our little one is already a prodigy advancing well beyond his peers. I am stating this admission now because for the rest of this blog, I will write under the proud parent assumption that my child is a genius. And I will probably deny that this confession was ever made, even if shown the obvious evidence.

So, to start with, here are a few stats on the incredible little man:

Birthday: August 23, 2007, 11:58 pm

Birth size: 8lbs. 1 oz., 21 inches

Current size: 10 lbs., 23 1/2 inches (he’s huge!)

First full bath: September 8, 2007

First church service: September 16, 2007 (he almost made it the whole way through)

First night out of Mommy and Daddy’s room and in his own crib (Praise the Lord!): September 16, 2007

First trip to work with Daddy: September 19, 2007 – and boy was he the hit of the office!

* One additional note as we begin this blogging adventure…because Timothy IV was named after Timothy III, we decided to give him a nickname to avoid ‘Timothy-calling’ confusion. Therefore, from now on Timothy IV will be referred to as ‘Baby Drew’. We are calling him Drew because it is short for ‘quadruple’, seeing he is the IV. It might sound silly, but we like it!
