Playing around

Drew fought the concrete…..and the concrete won!

Drew fell in the driveway on Friday….....here’s a photo of his new face.

4th of July...a little late

These photos are from the 4th of July and I know it's late, but it took me this long to download the photos. Drew had fun with snap n pops, glow sticks and poppers. He also has a new big blue ball and it's his favorite thing.

18 months...wow!

On Friday, I took Drew for his 18 month check up and shots. I just can't believe he's 18 months already. Feels like yesterday...blah, blah, blah....OK sorry... Anyway the boy is doing great. He's 24 lbs 4 oz and 35 and 1/4 inches tall, which means he tall and skinny. As far as his development, he's right on track.

I have a ton of photos to post and an update on the 4th, but no time today.....

Welcome baby Coop!

My cousin Allison and her husband Chris are the proud new parents of a little boy! Cooper David was born at 7:50 a.m. on Tuesday (6-16-09). He's 7.10lbs and 18.6 inches long. Congrats Alli and Chris! Remember to get some rest now, because you’ll never be able to do it again!

Two men and a trophy

Mike played in a dart tournament this weekend and took first place. Congrats! He won some money and a trophy...which is shared by his team...but he was able to have the first weekend visitation rights. And of course he had to get a photo of him, Drew and the trophy....so dorky, but kind of cute.

Visit to the Magic House

Saturday we spent the morning at the Magic House in Kirkwood, Mo. Drew had a blast and all I could think about was, "why didn't I think of this sooner?!" He played in the little kitchen, in the balls, on the slide, with the car and he ran all over and behaved very well--which was shocking because he's not been very good at daycare lately, but that's for another blog.


I haven't been to the Magic House in years and Mike's never been, so this day was really fun for all of us. I was very impressed with the amount of exhibits and areas geared toward birth to 24 months. It was perfect. Everything was his size. It was safe, nothing he could get hurt on and there were not bigger kids pushing or knocking him down. We decided not to take the stroller in, which turned out to be good, because he didn't sit still very long. He was everywhere, but he did listen surprisingly well when we told him to stop or not to do something. So my advice, if you have a wild 17 month old boy and you need to burn off some energy, the Magic House is the place to go...now I just have to find a place for next Saturday...any suggestions?
