Drew's 1st Birthday! January 21st 2013

Drew turned one!   Grandma Peterson's birthday is the day after Drew's so we had a double birthday party which made it extra fun.  Drew loved ripping the paper and tasting it and playing with it.




He didn't know what to think about the cake at first.  He just poked at it and looked at until we moved him to his high chair.



He must have felt more comfortable there because then he went to town....stuffing it in his mouth and pounding it on his tray, he thought that was the best.





Avery and Madolyn helped decorate some of the cupcakes.




What a sweet baby boy! We love our baby Drew and he brings a smile to us everyday and we're so happy he's in our family.

A few of Drew's favorite things- Jan- Feb. 2013

Baby Drew has some things that he really loves, these are a few of his favorite things....

1.  The bathroom- especially the toilet, toilet paper  and all the fun stuff in the drawers and cupboards.
2.  Climbing and standing.  He gets soooo excited when he has a chance to climb the stairs and now knows how to go down by himself, but he still makes me nervous and I am keeping the gate up for a little while longer.  He climbs up on anything his little body can reach and loves to climb up and then stand on top of whatever he has climbed.  His favorite was the girls picnic table which we put in the basement to cut back on the crashes.  Avery's bed- he has been able to climb up on it from the time he started crawling and it makes him so proud of himself.  
3.  The Kitchen.   He pulls out everything from the lower cupboards and tries to climb into the dishwasher everytime it's open.   He loves to pull out all the lids from the drawer under the oven and either push them around like they're cars, bang them on the floor, or leave them on the floor and sit in the drawer. 
4.  The vents.  Drew likes to pull the vents out and climb in or drop items into them.
5.  Anything he can make a mess out of, like flour, the garbage can, etc.
6.  Burp clothes, blankets, material he can suck on.  He's kind of funny about it, he will find one and then crawl around with it hanging out of his mouth.  
7.  The front window, or any window he can reach.  It probably has to do with his love of climbing, but he climbs on the little chair in front of the window and bangs on the window and hollers.




I just threw this one in because Avery was brushing her teeth when Drew was sneeking into the bathroom.















Disney on Ice- March 9th 2013

Aunt Kristin, the girls and I went to Disney on Ice the PRINCESS show!  The girls were soooo excited to go to it and counted down the days until the day arrived.  Madolyn was really hoping to see Rapunzel and Avery was looking for the Little Mermaid, as you can see on their shirts.  Lucky for us the show told the stories of Rapunzel, Princess and the Frog, and Cinderella and showcased most of the others including the Little Mermaid  at the end with a bit of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in between each story.  Avery and Madolyn loved it and we had a fun time!
