April 2011 - Part 2

Drew and Daddy enjoying an afternoon at the park.

My sister and baby Liam - just a few hours old - so cuddly!

More park time with Daddy!

Baby Liam

 

Picnic time in the backyard!

Testing out his bookbag the night before daycare started - he was quite excited!! (even though Mommy was a complete mess!!)

April 2011 - Part 1

Drew, Daddy and Mommy celebrating his First Birthday!!!

Drew was VERY excited about his Monkey cake!! Thanks Nana!

CAKE SMASH!! He completely enjoyed smashing the cake to bits.....eating it however...not so much! He doesn't have a sweet tooth like his mama!!

The  boys!! Drew with his cousins Holden, Tyler and Keegan!

 Me and my birthday boy!

Drew LOVES Grampi (my grandfather - his great grandfather!) - ever since he could recognize faces he would smile at him and now whenever Grampi is around he only wants Grampi!

Learning how to use his new slide!!

The Birthday Boy out for lunch on his birthday - just chillin :-)

And I just HAD to post a sample from Drew's official cake smash photo shoot with our photographer - Jen Anderson. They turned out SO good!!

I'm back!!

SO.....as the title says .... "I'm back"!! Things have been SUPER busy with being back to work, trying to suck up every minute we can with Drew when we aren't at work, and enjoying the summer (even though it hasn't  been the greatest weather-wise).

I'm going to "catch up" - if I can even call it that - by posting a few of my favorite pics from each month since I've been on hiatus!!

Enjoy :-)

April 1

Chillin' in his carseat with Daddy's sunglasses on!!

March 31

This pic was just taken with my cell camera - but it was too cute not to include. Drew and Grampi were hanging out on the deck at their place and Nan made Drew wear her bucket hat :)

March 30

We spent most of the day at Nan and Grampi's and Drew LOVED playing in the Bus Ball Pit!

March 29

FINALLY!! We were able to get the "race car" shopping cart and Drew TOTALLY loved grocery shopping in it - he was steering down all of the isles!

March 28

And the verdict is....he likes real milk!!

March 27

Yup - Drew can now stand up!! He can't get to standing on his own but I'm sure it will only be a short time before we are chasing him as he runs around the house!

March 20-26

Wow - I'm not even back to work yet and I'm having a hard time remembering to keep up with my posting! Let's say April will be a better month!!

Drew checking out his Birthday Party invitation!

Drew has learned when we say "OH NO" - he will put his hands on his head! So funny!

Drew's first carton of "real" milk.....let's see how he likes it :)

Ball!

 

 

Drew had fun on the "big boy" slide at Kiddietown

 Keegan loved the slides too!

Drew needed to take a break from shopping with Mommy and Auntie Nixon :)

Week of March 13-19

So...I've fallen behind a bit in my blog - just too many things going on (and Drew being sick for a week) - so to catch up - here are a few pictures from the week :)

Melissa and Mom at Melissa's baby shower :)

Drew sitting in Keegan's Birthday Boy chair for his lunch - he was pretty happy!!

Drew chillin after lunch :)

Drew now enjoys crawling under his exersaucer...and was heading over to give Rudy a kiss!

Taking some time to read "mom & baby" magazine

My sick boy :(

He thought it would be fun to try to change his own diaper!

March 2

So many toys...so little time :)

March 1

We had a wonderful birthday playdate today for Erin's first birthday. It's amazing how just a few short months ago we sat the babies in their bucket seats or on a blanket and they were content to stay there and play while the mommies snacked, chatted, etc. Now they are rolling, crawling, standing and are all over the place!! Aren't they just too adorable?!?!

Happy 1st Birthday Erin!

February 28

"Look ma no hands!"

Drew loves his new straw cup - and was showing off at breakfast today :)

February 27

So today Drew tried fish for the first time - haddock to be precise. This is the picture of his first bite - he REALLY didn't know what to think of it. However - after he had a few bites and started feeding it to himself (making a lovely mess in the process), he actually really liked it!! YAY for another food success!!
