3 Months

I had to hurry and post about Drew turning 3 months before his 4 month birthday!!  You add just ONE person to your family and it might as well double.  It's crazy how much busier my life has become, BUT it's sooooo much sweeter too!!
So, our little Drew bug is now 3 months old!! He's still not sleeping much zzzzzz... but he laughs, smiles and talks all time.  He has such a good personality. He is eating 4-5oz at each feeding, but still has reflux so spits up quite a bit.  I have him on a routine, but some days he doesn't sleep much during nap time.  And he still wakes up at least twice during the night, but some nights it's a lot more than that.  We have him in a rock n play now which is a perfect little elevated bed.  It's so soft and comfortable. I am trying to slowly transition him to a flat surface like the pack & play and crib, but it's not going so well.  I just keep telling myself that some day he'll love to sleep (like maybe by teenage years?!?)

Here are his monthly pictures.
 The boys laugh because he  always has "praying" feet!
 *yawn*

He has found his hands and sucks all the time.  He also drools ALL the time!!



 He can't sit for long.  He either falls into the chair like this...
 or TIMBER, down he goes the other way

And now for some Drew overload:


 Our friend, Audrey, who loves baby Drew


 We enjoy our morning walks while the big boys are in school.
 We can't be happy ALL the time!

Despite the lack of sleep, I sure do love him!!!

Cousin Love!

I am finally getting around to posting pictures of the Candler Family (Mimi's side) dating back to May.  These were all on my cousin's camera and I finally got them from her!


In May, my grandfather passed away at the age of 96.  We all gathered in Rosenberg for his funeral.

The three kids: Cindy, Jim, Pat
They dedicated a pew to the church in memory of their parents, my grandparents.
All the grandkids and great grandkids have grown up spending our holidays and time in between together. I love being close to all my cousins!
My one and only girl cousin!!
Little boy cousins!!  And I love that these four will grow up so close just like their mommas!
We can't forget the ONE sweet girl cousin!

Digging up worms.  BOYS!!
We always meet up at my aunt and uncle's place near College Station.  They have over 100 acres, which is perfect for the little ones. This was from July.
Clair is driving all the boys!



They love spending time together! :)
Since I was very pregnant during this trip, I stayed back and let some of the other adults go with the little ones to feed the cows.










It's hard to see, but I love Connor's expression as he watches Reid and Sam pet the cow's rear end!





Back to the house for fun with Dustin


Onto the next adventure...
Paddle boat!!


Uncle Jason was too long to fit in the back of the ranger!!

Spending time with cousins is so much fun!!
