Goofin' at Lowes

It was a quiet Sunday afternoon at Lowes. There was nobody in the store, so we let Drew do a little running around. You'll notice in this video, he goes all the way to the back of the store and winds back up where he started.

He LOVES lawn mowers or affectionately known as "tractors".

Drew's First Birthday - Wall to Wall Coverage

This won't be the first birthday post. The Nebraska g-parents will be flying in on Saturday and the partying will just be getting started all over again. This is breakfast and as you can see in the birthday pancake pic above, Drew knows how old he is.


Katie loves the pic below. She thinks he's trying to "get down with his bad self"!

As the morning progressed, we got a surprise present from Aunt Mary in the mail. I decided to try to immediately dress Drew in the newly arrived duds. This was my attempt:



Tada!

Baby's First Christmas Tree

Drew LOVES the tree. The lights, the ornaments, the green branches, the presents.

Going in to investigate.

Can you tell what this little boy has in his hand? Yes, it is a piece of our Christmas tree. Don't ask:-)

7 Months Old

Drew is 7 months old now! We have been so busy and out of town that I haven't been able to post a 7 month picture. I promise that this was taken on November 22nd. Just took me a while to put it up. Now that Drew is 7 months old, alot has happened. He is learning how to crawl. It's the cross between a scoot and a caterpillar crawl. But it gets him from point A to point B:-) AND he also got his two bottom front teeth in. He was pretty cranky the days before they showed up, but now he is proud of his pearly whites. We even brushed them before bed tonight. AND (nope, not done) he has learned how to say "DaDa"! Andy is so proud of him every time he says it. He has a limit of 3 to 4 "dada"s a day:-) It is so cute to hear him say it. Now we need to work on "MaMa".

Let's Play Peek-A-Boo!!!

Fun, New Tricks

Daddy making Drew FLY! It looks like he tossed him way higher than he actually did...for you concerned Grandmas out there:-) Drew was loving it! Isn't he so cute in his long johns?

Sit Ups

Look at me! I'm sitting up by myself!!

We Voted

Drew voted today:-) So did Mom and Dad. We fulfilled our duty as citizens of a democracy. And now we fulfill our duty as Christians and pray for our nation!!!

As we were pulling out of our polling place, we spotted this Bob Hunter sign. It was designed by my hubby:-) If he wins, it's because of this awesome sign!!!

Sick Or Treat

Don't let his smile fool you. This little Trick or Treater was sick on his first Halloween. We went to the doctor that mornng because his cold had taken a turn for the worse. The doctor said he has Croup:-( He is still sick today...coughing and sniffing and sneezing up a storm. Since Croup is a virus, we didn't get any anitbiotics. Just steriods to help keep his airways open while he's sleeping at night. He was pretty cranky yesterday...it could have been 'Roid Rage. Haha! Poor baby. Mommy and Daddy are ready for Drew to get better!!!!

Miscellaneous Drew Fun

Drew sat in his highchair for the first time the other night. He's been sitting up on his own (surrounded by pillows) for a few days, so I decided it was time for the big boy chair! He really likes it. Likes being up high where all the action is.

"It's okay Lillie" Drew's cousin, Lillie, came over last weekend. Drew was trying to console her:-)

Ride 'em cowboy! Drew LOVES his pup! Poor Gracie.

Sick Little Boy

Poor Drew has gotten his first cold:-( He is not feeling well and it breaks our hearts. His little nose is so runny and he has a sad, little cough. I took his temp this afternoon and he has a low grade fever. He's been pretty blah all day long. I laid him on our bed with his softest blanket and let him watch his Baby Einstein DVD. Normally, he is a ball of energy...always moving, always talking, always squirming, but today he was so quiet and just wanted to snuggle. Aunt Miriam came for supper and that boosted his spirits for a while, but come 7:00 he hit a wall!!! So, now he is in bed, dressed in his warmest jammies and tucked in with his softest blanket. Poor baby:-(

Six Months Old Today!

Our little guy is six months old today. He wanted to take a picture with his puppy. He LOVES Gracie. Laughs at her all the time. Gracie likes him back:-)

Can I have this?

It's a happy, happy day!

Fall Baby. It was chilly out, so he needed his jacket. Don't you just want to snuggle with him????

Pickin' Punkins

A little creative liberty with the photography

Two chicks stopped by and volunteered to take a pic of us

Drew and Katie riding on the train. Drew had fun I think.

More of the train.

"I found my punkin!"

Cousins

Aiden getting hugs from Drew.

Papa got Drew and Aiden matching Huskers outfits. They are ready to cheer on their team...Go Big Red!!

Rock the Vote, Baby!

Panthers Fans

The Carolina Panthers had a game today, so the boys put on their jerseys and pulled for their team! They make quite the pair, don't you think?!?! P.S. Andy has not converted to Islam...it's the name of one of the players....haha!

Our Little Bug

We took Drew to get his pictures taken a few weeks ago. This is one of my favorites:-) He's just a few days over 4 months. He did such a good job...smiling for all of the pictures. I thought he might have a hard time with a stranger up in his face with big camera, but he was strikin' a pose! There are some other shots, but I'll post them later...spread it out.

Sweet Pota"TOES"
