Just Drew

Fun times with Drew at the park and with BUBBLES!!

And this one because he's such a ham!

 He does not want anyone else touching or blowing the bubbles for him.  Thus, resulting in bubbles all down his clothes and lots in his mouth!

Fiesta Texas

A few weeks ago, we took a trip down to San Antonio to visit MeMaw.  While there, we decided to go to opening day at Fiesta Texas.  The boys had never been to an amusement park before, so we were excited to take them!

Bugs Bunny!

In honor or Mimi and Papa Jud being at the REAL Mardi Gras, we took this picture

We all took turns riding the rides 

Reid being Reid 

Look closely and you might be able to see Daddy and Reid waaaaay up there!!!  Reid wanted to ride every ride and Connor wanted to stay in the kiddie section!! Before going, we had a feeling Reid would want to ride all the dare devil rides and Connor, to play it safe!

Eating a Turkey Leg!!

Testing their strength

Drew had had enough excitement

We tried to get one picture of all boys looking...

It ended up being SUCH a beautiful day and we really enjoyed it. We bought season tickets so we are ready to go back anytime!!

End of February

I'm nearly caught up with blogging! Eeeek!!

Connor represented his school in the UIL meet last month. He was in the spelling UIL, and although he didn't place, we are very proud of him for trying!!

 My little mess-maker!

 I found this selfie on my phone!

 Drew and his sweet buddy!!

 Some kids have stuffed animals or blankets.  Drew's comforts of choice are our cats!

 Connor had to do a presentation on Abraham Lincoln, so we aged the Gettysburg address for him to read.  He first covered the paper with coffee, then spread the coffee grounds all over it.  Unfortunately we did not get a picture of the final version but it turned out wonderfully!

 His teacher sent me this picture of Abe and said he did a great job!

 Since Mimi and Papa Jud were partying it up in NOLA at Mardi Gras, Drew decided to get in on the action!

 Academic Night at our school.  Reid was playing multiplication Jenga (and the only first grader at that!!)

That's all for today!!

18 Months (&15 months)

On February 17, Drew and I celebrated our birthdays! While I turned thirty-something. Drew turned 18 months.  That Drew-bug is something else.  While he still only has a few words in his vocabulary, you can figure out what he's telling you.  For instance, the other day when it was nap time, he closed his door, turned on his sound machine, laid out a new diaper and handed me a book.  All things we do before nap time.  This morning, I had the refrigerator door open, and he opened the fruit drawer inside, got out blueberries, handed them to me, then climbed up into his highchair. Another example is when you ask,"do you want to go outside/bye bye?", he quickly goes and finds my shoes, his shoes and then heads for the door.  He's a smart cookie, but he just points and says, "uh" for most everything.  His current vocab consists of mostly these words: Mom Mom or MA!! Di De (daddy), nana (banana), "shhh", then points to the refrigerator (cheese),  BYE.  When he refers to an animal, truck, emergency vehicle, etc. he points and makes the sound.  

We went to the doctor for his check up and he was not having any part of it.  As soon as the nurse came in to get his measurements, he began screaming.  She had a really hard time figuring out his height and weight so she just did her best:

Height: 34 1/4in (90%)

Weight: 24lb, 3 oz (I think it could've been more, but he would not sit still) 25%

Head: 47.5 cm (45%)

When the nurse finished measuring him, he kept waving at her and loudly telling her BYE!!! He was ready for her to leave.  He was then ok...until the doctor came in.  Again she had to quickly examine him because he did not want her in the room!!  The two year check up should be fun when there will be shots!!!

He has definitely started the toddler temper tantrums!  And when he's hungry, look out! There will be all kids of screaming and flailing about! (The big boys think it's funny! I do not!)

He is SO loving, always giving me lots of hugs and kisses. And I gladly accept each and every one!!

And because I never blogged about his 15 month checkup, here's how he measured:

Height: 33.5 (off the charts)

Weight: 23 lb (26%)

Head: 18.5in (50%)
