Random Video

I hate uploading videos to blogger. Hear that, blogger? It takes too long! So instead of uploading this video to its respective post, I'm doing it in its own. It saves me time, even though you may not understand how.

Oh, and it leaves me smelling unfunky. Why? Cause I can take a 20 minute long shower while it uploads. And when I get out, it probably STILL won't be finished.

Anyway....here goes nuthin'!

(1 hour later....and NOT on dial up!)------------

Here's Your Happy Medicine...Well, He's My Medicine!

I know that my son's trying new foods (and hamming it up) is probably one of the biggest highlights of your week. Mine too. I called the local news station to let them know about Drew eating Cheetos & Cheerios so well. They kind of sat there for a minute, probably pondering how they could fit it into the 6 o'clock news so quickly, but then they hung up. I guess it was just too short of notice. There went their ratings!!



This is how he feels about new channel 3 not covering him.

Oh and I'm just throwing that one in cause it's so cute. :)

Just Pictures

Their favorite thing to do!


"I'm not bigger, but I have little fingers perfect for gouging your eyes out!"


Love this little boy! Pay no attention to my roasted scalp. The arms were worse, hence the long sleeves.


Your great grandmother says, "You can't always get what you want!" So true. And this is the result. I have a video that goes along with this I should post. Pure temper tantrum. I'll give away Tylenol to anyone who makes it through the video.


Eating his first cracker. He took that first crunchy bite and looked at me as if to say, "Did you hear the sound this food just made?!"


"Huh? You talkin' to me?!"


The cutest elephant ever.



Mommy & Drew in his big boys PJs

Oh I love this boy! And how I love naptime. Off to eat a bite before the awakening. ;)

"I'm Gonna Get You!"

Apparently, I have a demon possessed alternate voice that I use when chasing small children. They like it.

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,

We sure did miss you today! Mom did her best to keep me happy even though I ran fever this morning and was uber cranky. Today I...

1) Chewed on anything I could get my hands on. Lots of slobber ensued.


2) Contemplated the meaning of "no." I later tested the boundaries.


3) Laughed a lot.


4) Stood up on my own a LOT.


5) ...a whole lot! Mom was so proud. I was about to break out a cheer here in this picture...


6) But I fell down!


7) I managed to make a huge mess, but what's new?!


8) I got caught red handed trying to be just like you with all your cords! Whoops!


9)Mommy was tired of telling me "no," and was getting frustrated, so I shot her my signature look she couldn't resist!


10) And she let me off the hook! ;) Ha ha ha!


We miss & love you more than you'll know!

Laughing at the Crazy Lady

Some crazy woman broke into my house, stole my camera, and proceeded to video my child. Nevertheless, he must have loved her because he laughed his head off. Pay no attention to the crazy woman behind the camera. She's been captured and is now sitting in a cell in 4 point leather restraints. I know I'll sleep better tonight.

Happy 5 Months, Drew!

Drew on his 5 month birthday!

Drew,

Yet another month has passed, and I'm amazed with all you've accomplished in the last few weeks of your life. Our house is full of your belly laughs, high pitched squeals, and your occasional cryfest. You're rolling from tummy to back all the time and have even gone from back to tummy several times without help! You're starting to actually swallow the baby food we convince you to eat with our crazy airplane noises. We absolutely live for your gummy smiles. Oh your smiles. When you smile it's with your entire being. Your eyes just light up and make my day (or my early morning). Waking up to your smiling face every day at 8:30 is the way everyone should be able to start their day.

I cannot believe 5 months ago today I'd only known you for 4 hours. I can still remember life before you, and I would never go back to it. This-parenting you & knowing such love- is what life is all about!

You are up to so much these days. Your new thing is playing "pat a cake" when someone holds their hands out to you. Mamaw Betty taught you this, and she's so proud that you caught on! You fake cough all the time and smile because you know that it gets you attention. You are my cuddle bug at night. If I move away from you towards Daddy, you somehow nudge yourself right up next to me again. And even though it may cause me arm pain, I secretly love it. You always wear a bib now because without it your clothes would constantly be soaked. You are definitely teething and are finally using a teething ring-even though you prefer our fingers instead!

Other things you love: music, baths with Daddy, lights, ceiling fans (still!), your mobile, your jumperoo, your bouncer, mommy's singing, Daddy's funny voices, playing airplane, your polka dot blanket, sleeping next to Mommy, cold wipes at your diaper changes (crazy, I know), booty paste (crazy again), cell phones, remotes, bouncing, standing, sitting in the high chair, and eating (er, drinking milk).

You are eating some baby food. The only thing you really like is applesauce. Rice cereal was definitely a flop and carrots were even worse. You choked and coughed and nearly gagged everytime I fed you a bite of carrots. Guess you're not a fan! That's okay. I'm not either. :)

You're still not a big fan of sleeping in your crib, but you're getting better at it. I've been putting you down for naps in your crib and you'll sleep for 30 minutes before you wake up; however, if I'm holding you, you'll sleep a lot longer so sometimes I just keep holding you for that reason!

You and Daddy are developing a much better bond now that you're a little more "roughhouseable." You two laugh and play when he gets home from work, and it makes his day when you belly laugh at him. He IS a pretty funny guy. Just tonight he told you if you put a cookie in front of me, I'd follow you for days. Daddy is sleeping in the bed of his truck tonight. ;)

Your first Christmas is coming up in about 2 weeks. Everyone has gifts just for you, and you will be the highlight of our day. We're sure to get lots of pictures of you ripping paper and probably not caring about the toys. Oh well. :) We'll continue to spoil you anyway.

It blows my mind that you're almost half a year old. They're not kidding when they say how fast kids grow up. It sure is much clearer to me now what they mean. I cannot wait to see what the next month brings! I love you, kiddo!

Mine and Daddy's entire hearts belong to you.
Mommy
