The Beginning

So, my mom decided to use a blog to record my life. For now, my life is in her words. One day I'll take over =)


  1. I was born 2 weeks ago on December 26th, 2007. Since then I've had so much fun meeting family and friends. My grandparents were the first to see me at the hospital. They all came down to NICU to hold me and comfort me as I learned to breathe on my own. Mom had to wait until the next day to hold me, but Dad came down every few hours that night to check on me and send pics of me up to my mom. I also got to meet my Uncle Eric at the hospital along with his girlfriend Monica. Some of Mom and Dad's friends stopped by also. They all seem really nice! Thanks to everyone who came to visit!


  2. We all came home on Saturday to a wonderful meal that my Nana made. I also got to meet my cousin Tyler and his parents, Uncle Jeff and Aunt Teri. I can't wait to play more with Tyler, maybe next time I see them!


  3. Dad was so excited to take pictures of me! We had a photo shoot in our living room. Mom and
    Dad take great pictures! You can view them at http://picasaweb.google.com/shripka05/DrewShripka1wk?authkey=Xbx7PoYJE6Q

  4. I had my first doctor's visit on the coldest day of the year! Mom and Granny and Grandpa took me to meet my doctor, Dr. Starr. She seems nice. Mom is feeling better after her surgery, but still doesn't like to walk too much. Grandpa took us to lunch afterwards at Goose Island. One day I'll enjoy the beer there too!!


  5. My other cousins came to visit January 5th. Chloe had a great time holding me. I also met Caroline and Anna and Aunt Sarah and Uncle Chris. How nice of them to drive up to visit me!


  6. Wow, I'm learning so much! Mom and Dad are amazed at all that I do. Today I held my head up on the playmat! I love holding my head up to see them while I lie on their chests. They are so much fun to look at! Mom insists on putting me on this playmat thing. Today I noticed a mirror! I'm so cute! So, I decided to try lifting my head then to. I'm getting so strong!



Well, that's all for now! I'll keep you posted on how I grow and change.
