Varrrrrrroooooooooooommmmm - Drew's 2nd Birthday Party

Cars, Cars, & More Cars!!









I made the cake, cupcakes & all the treats this year. It was a lot of work, but really fun!!

Halloween - Preview

Drew's school is having a fall festival today! His Halloween costume is too thick & warm for him to wear all day......So, I improvised!!

Meet Super Drew!!

I Don't Need No Rocking Chair

..........but Drew sure does love one!!

Drew loves to rock on his rocking horse. However, he loves climbing up in the rocking chair & rocking like Momma & Daddy. He's growing up way too fast. I barely see my little baby any more.


I keep falling more & more in love with this little person. How could you not?!

[fyi- david will never get the country music reference that this blog is titled after...sad, so sad]

A Horse is a Horse, of Course

We happened to be running an errand at the mall this weekend, and we couldn't resist a carousel ride!

Here's a snap of the two of us......and a quick video of Drew waving to Daddy!!

Medicine Chase

Drew loves to be chased. Here is a particularly funny chase, when Daddy tries to give him some medicine. Enjoy!

Drew's 1st Birthday

We had so much fun at Uncle Matt & Aunt Kellie's house for Drew's 1st birthday party. Uncle Matt grilled hamburgers & hotdogs. Drew ate his first hotdog & boy did he like it!!

We had so much fun decorating everything John Deere!! It was so cute!!

Drew loved his egg-free chocolate cupcake with homemade buttercream icing!! You should have seen the look on his face. It was like..."where has this been my whole life?!"

He was given way too many gifts!! No child should ever get so many gifts, but he loved each & every one. He held every gift & smiled...and wanted to just play with each one.

I decorated his cake all by my lonesome...I was very proud!!

It was a great family reunion. The only times we've ever had both sides of my family together has been for me & my brother's separate weddings. Everyone had a great time!!

We won't do this for every birthday, just his first. So, I'm glad it was so much fun!! I wish I could post all the photos, but here are some highlights. I even included some video.

Drew - walking & playing before bedtime

I noticed we haven't posted a video in a while. Drew is changing so much every day now. He loves to play, play, play. As you can see, there is never a dull moment around our house anymore. We shot this on Sunday evening right before bed.




This is to show how much Drew loves his push car! We shot this last week. Enjoy!!

Drew 7 month Wrap-Up

7 Month Wrap-Up:
Drew started crawling... little by little

Then, he found 3rd gear....

He's been unstoppable!!

It's so great when he just sees you & crosses a huge distance to be with you. Melt my heart!!!

We finally found out what has been causing the infections around his right eye. It's a virus. 8 weeks later & we're finally getting to the bottom of it. He's on a medicine that helps to suppress it. So, hopefully we're over the worst of it! We didn't get any pictures taken during this time b/c it was just so awful. I know, I should have done them anyway!

Drew discovered how much he loves the guitar. We have music time every day now.


Drew said his first word.



Drew turned 8 months this week... he's growing up so fast!!

Grandparents & Great Grandparents Visit!!

David's parents & grandparents came for a visit this weekend. David's folks drove over from Dallas. His Grandparents flew to Dallas from New Mexico & rode over with his folks. So, it was no easy feat to make it over here. We had a great visit. We went out to dinner a few times, as well as, cooked out at the house. Sadly, Drew has been sick....so, it was the only hitch during the weekend. We drove around to some sites. However, we mostly enjoyed the fellowship at the house. We told crazy stories & laughed a ton. Drew even got to go swimming at the hotel with David & Grandpa Dale. We couldn't have asked for a better visit. We hate we're so far from them. Hope to see them all again soon.

Drew's 5 month update

What we want to do with this blog- is to give the occasional glance or window into our world....nothing more, nothing less. We hope you enjoy those glances.

5 Month Milestones:
Sitting up (for short stints, but up nonetheless)
Eating baby food (peaches are his favorite!!)
Discovering his feet
Starting back to daycare
Talking (it's only jibber jabber, but it counts)
Picking up toys (with accurate hand-to-eye coordination)
Petting Big Brother (Logan...he loves to rub his hand on Logan's face & get his hand licked)




This is Drew's buddy at church, Ryan (10 weeks). Drew loves other babies. He wants to pet them & hold their hands. It's adorable to watch!!

Easter Treat for the Grandmas

David & I both did a video of Drew with his new Peter Cottontail bunny...thought the Grandmas would enjoy it!!!

Playtime

look at those chubby legs!!

13lbs 13oz - 24in long

Videos

Okay, I know I've neglected everyone from updates about Drew. Don't worry... I have a special treat.

I have a few videos you might enjoy from the last few weeks. These are even better than pics...I think anyway!!

Here's one of Drew in the hospital:

HICCUPS

Thought everyone would like to see a video of little Drew. This is from a few weeks ago.....but it's too cute to see his whole body jump from the hiccups.

Welcoming the New Weatherman to Tupelo!!

David's friend, Jason, (whom he lives with during the week in Starkville)is about to start doing the weekend weather in Tupelo for WTVA. He currently works for a TV station in Meridian on the weekends. He will be staying with us on the weekends till he graduates in May.

We all went out to eat at our favorite sushi place, Shogun!!


I thought I'd share one of Jason's weather reports. Welcome to Tupelo Jason!!
