Two Weeks Old

My how the time does fly! I'm already two weeks old.

From Andrew Tyndale Rankin

Mom has been diligently trying to get me on a schedule and so far it's working, but just slightly. I'm successfully sleeping about 2 to 2.5 hours a stretch at night. That means mom feeding me around 11:30, 2:00, 4:30, and 6:00. During the day I'm up for long periods and then sleep for long periods. Ainsley finds this kind of mundane and constantly tells mom, "Andrew can't sleep all day!"

She's figured out my cries, which are only for diapering and feeding times. The feeding cry is easily recognizable as it is accompanied by a snorting/grunting noise. So far, I seem to only have food aversions to garlic and onions. Mom sure did forget how quickly a newborn can go through diapers! Thank you so much to all of our friends who have supplied us with diapers over the past few weeks.

Overall, I'm a really happy baby and haven't given anyone much of a problem. Much to mom's surprise, I am a cuddler. She's very excited about this, but it sure is hard for her to resist the temptation to just let me sleep while she holds me.

What a charmer you are....I have shown everyone these pictures and they just smile and laugh and say what a cute guy you are. You look so wide awake and the hair...reminds me of the head full of black hair that your mom had when she was born. I cannot wait to see you in May so you had better save some smiles for me when I get there. Tell Ainsley that she is so cute with her Thomas Birthday cake. I know that she is being a good sister to you and the two of you are going to get along fine with each other. I love the both of you.
