Emma's Birthday Party

Yesterday Andy attended his first birthday party for his new friend, Emma. Emma (age 1) is the daughter of Myria and Kevin, who also have another daughter, Nora (age 4). A while back, I used to work as a waitress and hostess at Mathew's Past and Present Inn in Cross Plains two nights a week in addition to teaching. Myria is Mathew's sister. I also got to know Myria and Mathew's dad, Steven and their Grandma Shriley. They are an amazing family. It is wonderful that we still keep in touch. It was exciting for me when Andy got the birthday invitation in the mail.

The party was at Bean Sprouts Cafe in Middleton. What a darling kid-friendly place. They make their own baby food! Even though, Andy couldn't eat the food yet, he had a great time.

I think Mommy had as much fun as I did!

Busy Times!

On Saturday we went to Aunt Janet and Uncle Pat's to watch the Badger game and had a yummy Easter dinner with Great Grandma Ruth, Uncle Jim, and Grandpa Roy.

Uncle Jim rocks!

Aunt Janet is cool!

Watching the game with Daddy!

Thanks Cousin Jack for letting me borrow your "Future Badger" shirt!

On Sunday we went to church for the first time since Andy was born. He slept through the entire service until the very end. Everyone was happy to finally meet Andy.

Maybe people will think the penguins on my overalls are Easter eggs!

On Tuesday Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Sue, and Cousin Jacob came up to visit for the day since Jacob is on Spring Break this week. What fun we all had!

How you doin'?

Two-month check-up

Andy had his two-month check-up on Friday. Here's his stats: Height=23.5 inches (75th percentile), Weight=13 lbs 5 oz (90th percentile) and Head Circumference=16.25 inches (95th percentile). As you can see from his stats he is growing big and strong. We are no longer concerned about him gaining weight as we were in the beginning. He also had his two-month immunizations. He wasn't too fond of the shot part of the deal, however, he did not have any reactions later. Andy's pediatrician said he is very healthy.

Here are some photos of Andy during the Big Ten Men's Basketball Championship Tournament game between Wisconsin and Illinois yesterday. Andy's Purdue Alum Mommy was sad that Purdue lost in the first round of the tournament, but Purdue will be playing in the NCAA Tournament. Boiler Up!

Is there a badger on my shirt?

I wonder if we can get a badger as a pet?

Is it time to sing "Varsity'?

WIS-CON-SIN!

Why does Mommy have a guy named Purdue Pete on her shirt?

Yea! Badgers win!

What a good game...I'm tired!

My First Stroller Ride

Today, my Mommy took me for a stroller ride while she walked. It was in the high 40 degrees outside...heat wave! Spring is in the air! I got some fresh air and vitamin D!
