IT'S A BOY!!!!

We are a proud aunt and uncle to a beautiful baby nephew!!  Our sister, Amanda, and her husband, Matt, welcomed their first baby, Andrew Ellis James Meerman, on Saturday at 7:09 p.m.  He weighed in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20 inches long.  Ava and I were at the hospital all day Saturday, Aaron was there for most of the day but had to go home and stay with Kylie after Amy had to leave.  (She was babysitting for us.)  He is so beautiful and absolutely perfect and we are so excited that he is finally here.  I have pictures of him but haven't downloaded them yet so I will try to do that sometime this week and post them as soon as possible.  Congratulations to Matt and Amanda and we can't wait to watch Drew grow up!  


Ava had her two month check up on Thursday and she is 10 pounds and 9 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long.  Her new cousin, Drew, isn't that much smaller than her and they are 9 weeks apart in age!  :)  Ava is in the 3rd percentile for her height and 50th percentile for her weight.  She also got shots which was so traumatic for Mommy!  I was in tears!  :(  Ava was a trooper and I think that is the first time she has really cried.  She is doing well after the shots.

Congratulations to Matt and Amanda, and to Aunt Katie and Uncle Aaron and to grandparents Mike and Julie. As a mother to two boys I can say she is in for some very fun filled days...boys are a hand full but worth every moment of it!!!

Poor Ava and mommy, those shots are never fun.....I remember when Aaron had to have blood drawn from the bottom of his foot....it was awful but he survived and so did I. I'm glad Ava is doing well and growing, I can't wait to see her and Kylie again.
Love,
Mom (grandma)
