Wow am I growing!

Hey guys, Drew here! Wow, has it been some time since I got away from mommy to chat with my blogger friends. My mommy has kept me so busy with tummy time, practicing rolling over, standing up (with help for now), sitting up (with help too), but man oh man am I busy! Also, she takes me shopping at the mall and buys me things all the time.

But the one toy I love to play with is my Mr Sunshine floor mat. Oh, I can't get enough of that thing. Once I hear the music and see the sunshine flashing, I'm mesmerized. My mommy and daddy have to shut the sun off for me to pay attention to them. Its hard to break away when something is so much fun. I love to kick and move my arms to the music, its so much fun!

I really enjoyed seeing my big brother last month and I can't wait to see him in a few weeks. He is so much fun. I can't wait to run around with him and my big cousin Ally!

I've gotten so big too. I love to eat, so I keep growing! Also, my doctor said I can start to drink apple juice and that stuff is awesome! I want to drink it all the time, but mommy says I can't too much. Ooooh, its just so good. Also, I can have a little cereal in my formula too. It helps my belly stay full at night so I sleep a little longer, but I'm still waking up during the night. My mommy asks me while she's rocking me to sleep if I'm going to sleep all night, but I can't seem to do it yet. But, maybe one of these days I will!

Last Offical Day

Today, is the last official day of my maternity leave. I can't believe that my little peanut will be 12 weeks old tomorrow.

My company allows us a total of 12 weeks of maternity leave, 6 weeks of paid time off and the other half you can either use your vacation time for pay or return to work. My supervisor was gracious enough to allow me to work half days and use only a fraction of my vacation time so I will still have enough to take my two week vacation in August.

I won't return to work full time until Monday, since I'm going to stretch out the rest of the week on half days. But, I still can't believe how much time has flown by. It feels like yesterday where I couldn't wait to meet my little guy for the first time and now he's 3 months old (if you go by the week count rather then the date count). Its unbelivable!

Beautiful Colors

Drew celebrated his first 4th of July. We went to a friend's house for a big BBQ and fireworks. It was such a beautiful evening, no rain, sunny and a nice cool breeze.


Drew was a perfect little gentlemen. Everytime a new face would come up to see him, he would flash a big gummy smile to welcome the attention. He was loving it! He bounced on the big trampoline (well, actually he laid on it with his daddy while the big kids ate), he ran around in the yard (well, he laid on his activity mat in the shade and kicked his feet like he was running) and ate all kinds of food (well, he ate his formula and tasted a cucumber). Drew really enjoyed himself.


Then the fireworks began. We were a little worried that he wouldn't like any part of the show, so I was ready to sit in the car with him. Then to our surprise, he was mesmerized by the bright colors. Jeff and I took turns holding him and covered his ears while he watched the fireworks and he would just stare in amazement. There was no crying, fussing or anything from that little boy.


So, Drew celebrated his first big holiday and really seemed to enjoy himself. I just wish I remembered the camera! Doh!

I So Want This!

The other day, while shopping at Babies R Us, I had paused by an isle so my mom could ask a question to a salesperson. I look over to a display and noticed the cutest thing ever.

I just laughed out loud when I noticed this modern day baby on board sign for your vehicle (there is a girl version, its pink and says Drama Queen on board). I wanted to buy it so bad, but I have two dilemmas - 1) I have tined windows, so it'll be hard to make my announcement 2) People wouldn't know if the sign was for Drew or Jeff (hee, hee, hee)!
