Happy 1st Birthday, Drew!!!!!

Holy moly, our little dude is one!!!  I took a 1/2 day to spend with my dudes and I am so glad I did.  We met nanna and nannu for lunch and Drew got a chance to eat his very first cupcake!  We had a wonderful day with Drew celebrating this wonderful little boy!  His big party is on the 5th and I cant wait to see what he'll do with his cake then!

And for the record, oh my goodness does this kid look just like me in this picture!  WOW.  Poor kid, haha!!

Drew's 1st Swim Lesson!

We weren't exactly sure how Drew was going to do during his first swim lesson but we had a feeling he would do pretty good since he loves his bath water.  When we first put him in, he shivered and was basically unsure of it for probably the first 5 minutes.  His dad went in with him and after a little bit, the both had a blast!!

After he adjusted. he fell in love with it!  By the end of the lesson, he would look to see if he could catch my eye and then start to show off by kicking and splashing!  It's definitely safe to say that they both had a great time!

Not sure about this momma:

Ooooh, this is fun!

Walking...or Should I Say Steps!

This was a big weekend in development for Drew and momma is so proud! 

Drew took his first steps over the weekend!!!  It was amazing to see and though I dont think he quite "got" that he was walking and he was a bit wobbly, he definitely did it!  Mom, dad, Steve and I were all gathered at Steve's folks house for a late birthday celebration and we had him standing up.  Mom stood a few feet away and prompted him.  When she did, he let go of me and he took a few steps on his own to get to her!!  So I guess that wouldnt be walking but more stepping.  Either way, I was proud.

He's also pulling up on everything he can find so I would definitely say he is on his way!  Now all we need is for him to end this food strike and we'll be good to gp!  Ahhhh, life with a toddler.  Wait, a toddler?  When did that happen???

Finally, I bought Drew a pair of sunglasses over the weekend since he loves to play with our glasses so much.  I figured if he had his own pair, he might leave ours alone.  Not so much but he does look super cute!!  Gets me so excited for summer!

Ready for the Pool!!

Come on, momma...let's go!!!

My goodness, he looks so big.  Crazy!

My Biggie Boy!

In just the last few days, I feel like Drew has made huge strides in his development.  It's such a joy to watch him and he seriously amazes me on a daily basis.  Here are some of things he is doing now:

• Pulling up!!  Yep, finally!  Little dude pulle dup twice yesterday like he's been doing it his whole life!
• Crawling on all 4's.  He's perfected the army crawl for some time now but just recently, he's taken to crawling on all 4's.
• He'd much rather crawl than roll. 
• He still loves to walk, walk, walk to the point where he has callouses on the bottoms of his big toes.  We're trying shoes to see if that helps.
• He'll stand on his own for a few seconds as well.

Steve and I tried to get a video of it multiple times yesterday and every time we got the camera out, he'd throw a massive fit.  Stinker face!!

So proud of him though!

Just Another Typical Day...

Walking and playing with toys!

Belly Laughs!

Love it!
