Drew

Andrew Eric Henderson born May 12, 2011 7 lbs 14 oz 20 in. We are so excited to have Drew here! He is such a good baby and as sweet as can be. He is already sleeping from 10-8 only waking up once to eat. Conner adores him and asks to hold him all day long. He always wants him out with us and cries when he sleeps in his crib with the door shut. Conner loves to try and share things with Drew, things like cheetos and candy. He also tries to get me to put chocolate milk in Drew's bottle like I put in his sippy cup. We're working on Conner being soft with him, and for anyone who knows Conner knows this kid is anything but soft! So we always tell him he can hold his hand or foot. So he holds them all day long, even in the car. It's really sweet. Here are some pictures from the hospital and home.

Andrew Eric Henderson- His middle name is after Tim's brother Eric who sadly passed away in a plane crash 4 years ago. We are so glad we were able to honor him and name Drew after him.

First bath

He loved it and didn't cry at all


Drew was born with what they called a skin tag on his left eye. He had a tiny piece of his eyelid that hadn't come apart. The two pediatricians who saw him in the hospital and the pediatric ophthalmologist who saw him all said that in all their years of practice, some 30+ years, had never seen it and had only heard about it. The ophthalmologist just took a tiny pair of scissors and cut it. Drew slept through the whole thing!

such cute brothers
I thought this one was funny

first real bath

Everyone always asks if Conner and Drew look alike. I think they look like brothers, but not too much alike. Here is a picture of them in the same outfit.

Some pictures of Conner and Drew


Like I said before Conner is always holding Drew's hand, especially in the car. The other day I found them both asleep holding hands. It was so cute.


We are grateful to have Drew in our family and are enjoying having his sweet spirit in our home.
