I imagine all babies are mama´s boys, and its no different for Andrew. When Andrew was born, they cleaned him up and immediately brought him to Eliana and put him on her chest. He was crying and crying, but when they gave him to Eliana and he could hear Elianas voice, he stopped crying, and was listening to her. The nurse was surprised and said that Andrew recognized her voice. My mom had told me a similar story before and I think that Rhonda recognized her voice after she was born.
Eliana will take a shower or something, and so I will be a lone with Andrew, and he usually will start crying unless he is sleeping. The other day he was crying but once Eliana stepped into the room and he could hear her voice, he stopped crying, and was listening to her voice.
Andrew is very blessed to have such a wonderful mother. I would say that not many babies or children have a mother like Eliana, and that is sad, but I am so glad that Andrew does.

He´s an afternoon sleeper, and a night eater.
Some of this is from an email I sent to mom:
Things are going well here. Andrew sure likes to wake up during the night, and not want to sleep. He breast feeds a little, and then falls back to sleep. So its a challenge to try to keep him awake. And then he wants to eat again in 30 minutes or so. Last night we held him off so he didn´t eat again until 2 hours was over. But that is hard too, and I had to keep putting the pacifier back in his mouth. I don´t think he ever fell into a deep sleep. So his eating schedule is not good, but we are trying to get a schedule going. I think he woke up at 2 a.m., and we did not get back to sleep until 4. And then had to keep him busy with his pacifier until 6, but he actually then slept until 6:30.
Elianas mother has 8 children, and she is amazed at how alert Andrew is, and also how strong Andrew is. She says that Andrew is very intelligent. And since Andrew has a lot of Inca blood, we say that he has the strength of an Incan.
So neither of those he gets from me, although he does seem to have a receeding hair line, which would be from me. But I imagine that will fill in, and mine never will. :(
So things are going well. Anybody have any tips on getting him on a feeding schedule, and maybe even a sleeping schedule?
