Smile Finally - Pictures of Andrew from our pickup trip

I finally had some time to download the pictures we took on our pickup trip last week and a few from earlier this week. Please bear with me as a I show off my favorite little guy

This is my favorite, it was taken the afternoon we received Andrew. We were waiting for our attorney so we didn't want to get into the pool at the Marriott........instead we were just hanging out....

This picture was taken the morning after we arrived home. This is one of our dogs and her introduction to Andrew. Andrew just loves the animals!!! And, yes, that is a jumperoo he is in - which he also loves!

Wow what a beautiful boy!

I am so pleased for you. I went and visited my little boy a couple of weeks ago - he has the same adorable lips as yours! And yes sat by the pool and went in the pool at the Marriott - a perfect 3 days. Then I had to leave him. We have had a wonderful week though because we have been in pre-approval investigation for 2 months (pre-approval in total for 3 months), and got out yesterday and on to PGN early next week. Our little one is 6 months old next week.

So happy for you.

Miranda

He's so cute - I love the doggie one. I have a yellow lab and I am so looking forward to seeing her interact with our little guy. Thanks for sharing your pictures!
