Germ FrEaK!

So the other day my great neighbor Shirlee came over and brought Drew a Christmas present. Drew opened the gift, took the tissue paper out and headed up stairs. Andy asked me if I knew what Drew was doing upstairs, and I said no, as I was talking with Shirlee, so Andy went to check on him. A few seconds latter he returned and asked me if I used toilet seat covers. I said yes, very confused.....Turns out Drew took the tissue paper up stairs and neatly covered the toilet seat with it thinking it was a cover!!!! I guess taking him in the bathroom stalls has paid off!!

I'm A BiG BOy!!!!

A few weeks ago we bought Drew a training potty. Drew was showing interest and bringing us diapers to be changed, so we thought we would give it a try. We sat the potty in the bathroom and for the first few weeks Drew took it apart, strung it throughout the house... Then at night we would gather all the parts and have him sit on the potty for five seconds before tun tub. He finally stopped taking the toilet apart and today was the big day that he went potty in it!!! He was soooo excited, as were we!!!

Thanks Laura!!!!

Today we had a fun surprise in the mail.... An AWESOME music set from Laura and Dave! I had so much fun opening the present and TOTALLY love it.

A Day In The Life Of Drew

Busy, busy, busy, is this almost soon to be 19 month old! He loves to throw all of his pillows of his rocker in his room and look at books.

So proud of his beautiful shoes he found that fit him perfect!!

So my friend Faith was watching Drew and she brought her swing over for her 12 week old little girl Haily. As soon as Haily left the swing Drew jumped in and never left it! He kept one foot on the ground and rocked himself as he watched Sesame Street!

Shenandoah Mountains

Friday morning we woke up early for a long weekend vacation in the Shenandoah Mountains. We stayed in a really neat condo right in the mountains and it was great to relax and do nothing! At night we would take out the Wii and get a good laugh out of each others mad skills!

Drew found a perfect hiding spot in the kitchen!

4th Annual Turkey Trot

Since Andy and I have known each other every Thanksgiving morning we wake up and do a 5K Turkey Trot! As you can tell Drew was thrilled to be in his fleece outfit and ride in a stroller. He actually did great and Andy took him out of the stroller at one point and he would run next to daddy!!!

I had to take a picture of this... yes it's the daddy's pushing the strollers!!! My friend Jill and I ran the race stroller free and had tears in our eyes at how good it felt to move our arms!!

The Baby Whisper

For those of you who have kids this is the true baby whisper, my friend Moira! For Thanksgiving Day we had a group of friends over for dinner and while the guys were in the yard playing yard games Moira was surrounded by the children reading books about ALL DAY!!! They LOVED her and followed her all around!
