7 Months


Dear Drew,

I am a day late on this post...Where has the month gone?? Time goes so much faster now that you are in our lives. There are many days that I just want to make time stand still so I can enjoy these fleeting moments with you for just a little bit longer. You are growing up too fast for me! But what fun we are having. Daddy and I just love to see the new things you learn, and watch you take in the world around you.
You are really coming into your own as far as your personality is concerned. You are CONSTANT motion. If you are awake, you are moving, and you don't want to miss a thing. I have no idea where you might have gotten that (ha, ha - you definitely get it from me). You are also very inquisitive and seem very interested in making things work. You come by that honestly too....you have quite the engineer for a daddy.

You are sitting up like a pro these days and hardly ever fall over. If you do, you are great at catching yourself so you don't get hurt. We got you a Johnny Jump Up and now all you do is jump, jump, jump. I can sit you down on my lap, and you will just start bouncing. Like I said, constant motion.

We celebrated your first Easter and what a wonderful day it was. I dressed you in a sweet little outfit that you will probably hate me for one day, but that's okay. I can only dress you like a little baby boy for so long.... We had Gigi, Pop, Doodle, Grandaddy, Aunt Amy, Uncle Trade, and cousin Braden to our house for Easter dinner. You and your cousin hunted for eggs and he was so excited to help you find them. He loves you so much. It was such a special day for us to celebrate with you, and we can't wait to help you understand the meaning of Easter.

You have turned from a teeny tiny baby to a big boy right in front of my very eyes. I love watching you grow and explore. I love being your mommy.

I love you sweet boy,
Mommy

Watch This - But Have Some Tissues on Hand

Just proof that we are judgemental, critical, and often very WRONG humans....
