Drew Turns One!!

You know how people say you never miss something you never had? This is oh so very true. I remember not too terribly long ago thinking mom of an only child was enough for me! That only child was adorable, loving, sweet, sassy, strong willed, and stubborn! I loved her with every bit of my being and I could not imagine loving anything or anyone else that much. How on earth could I ever love another child as much as I loved her? But for some reason, one day, I woke up and thought... "let's have another baby!" It was so much easier to get pregnant the second time around and everything seemed to go so quickly. And then 9 months passed and there we were, welcoming a precious baby boy into our now family of 4!! Wow! That boy was everything I ever dreamed he could be!

It's been an amazing year and it seems like we have fast forwarded straight to now!! It has gone so fast! How is that even possible?! These children of mine are no longer babies! They go go go non stop all day! They learn new things every day! They amaze me every day! They love each other to pieces and I love each of them more every day, if that is even possible!

Drew is such a sweet boy! He started out great, sweet, cuddly, sleeping through the night early on. Little did I know it would be the calm before the storm. He started crawling and getting around about 9 mo the and he hasn't looked back! He is into everything. Everything goes in his mouth. He loves jumping on Gracie! He is starting to climb up on things but has no clue how to get off. He loves playing with his sister. He thinks she is the funniest person on Earth! She loves him too but isn't too crazy about sharing toys and sometimes she doesn't think he should laugh at her because she "isn't doing anything funny"

He loves food... all food! He loves meat and fruit and veggies. He has SIX teeth so he's pretty good at chomping! He has started just standing up on his own. Just right in the middle of the floor. He pushes everything around as a walker, even the barstool. He is in size 4 diapers and 12 month clothes. He is 20 lbs 15 oz and 29.7 inches long! Talking is not really his thing. He would ather just scream about stuff. He also really isn't a fan of sleeping! He loves to play by himself. He will just wander off to the playroom and play.

His birthday party was so much fun! We celebrated at Mimi and Papaws house. Baseball theme with burgers and hot dogs. It was a long day so he was pretty tired. Luckily he had big sister to help unwrap all of the presents and blow out the candle. She even did the smash cake for him since he hated that!

Happy birthday to our little Drew! I cannot even begin to imagine our life without you! Mom of 2 is pretty cool and I cannot wait to see these kiddos grow!
