My First Trip to Disney!!

On 4/12/2008 I got to take my first airplane ride!!  Me, Mommy, Daddy, Pappy, Nanners, Aunt Tessa and Uncle Mike went to Disney World for a weeks vacation!  Our plane left around 7:30 a.m.  Mommy gave me a bottle to drink when the plane took off so my ears wouldn’t bother me.  I drank 1/2 the bottle and went to sleep.  I slept the whole plane ride there.  The trip was our Christmas present from Nanners and Pappy.  We rented a house and it had a pool and hot tub!  It was really nice!  The first day we got there we went grocery shopping and hung around the house.  Mommy and Daddy’s friends, Mike and Amanda Gannon came up from West Palm Beach to visit for the afternoon. 

The next day we went to MGM Hollywood Studios.   It was cold and rained a lot that day so we only stayed 1/2 day.  That night we had so much fun!!  Mommy and Daddy’s good friends, Rob and Rebeca, came over from Orlando with their daughter, Kaylin (15 months old) and we went to eat dinner at Medieval Times.  It was so much fun watching the knights on their horses do medieval games.   

The next day we went to Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach to watch a rocket launch and to go play on the beach and see the ocean.  The ocean was a lot of fun!  It was a little chilly outside so I didn’t get to swim in the ocean but I did get to put my feet in.  I loved sitting in the sand and having it in between my fingers.  I had a lot of fun that day!

The next day we went to Epcot Center all day!  We rode a couple rides then went over to where the different worlds are.  We got one snack at each world and everyone ate them!  I even got to nibble a little which is something I love to do now.  Anytime someone is eating….I must eat with them.  Epcot was a lot of fun but it was very cold.  So cold that we didn’t stay for fireworks that night.  Mommy and Daddy had to buy me a sweatshirt to wear to stay warm. AND I got to see Donald Duck… and Goofy

The next day, we all went to Crystal River to swim with Manatees!  Well, I didn’t get to swim.  Nanners and Aunt Tessa stayed in the boat with me while Mommy, Daddy, Pappy and Uncle Mike got to swim with them.  I had a great time looking in the clear water at the manatees.  I liked looking at the manatees and laughing when they would come up to the boat.  After the Manatee swim we went to a wildlife sanctuary! 

The next day we went to Animal Kingdom.  Rebeca and Kaylin met us there and we went all around the park!  We had lots of fun!  We went on a Safari and went to a 3-D show!  I got to see Pluto… Baloo… and

Chip & Dale…  That afternoon we went to Magic Kingdom!!  There I got to meet Mickey and Minnie!!  I think Minnie and I had a real connection going on!! 

We had so much fun on this trip and I can’t wait to go on another trip with my family again!!!

My First Easter

On March 17, 2008 I turned 7 months old!  I’m getting to be such a big boy!  l zxkopm .aphnb   I am such a good little typer as you can tell by what I just typed!  I’m still not crawling yet, but I’m close.  I go backwards, I can turn around in circles but just haven’t figured out how to go forward yet.  Another thing is that I’m taking steps.  When I stand up and holding Daddy’s hands I take steps.  I took 8 today!!  Who knows, I just may walk before I crawl.  Something that I’ve been doing that’s really cute is when I wake up I start calling da da da and I look around the room for him.  The other morning I was in bed with Mommy and Daddy and I woke Daddy up by hitting him in the face saying da da da.  Oh, and I’ve also learned that a fake cough will get you all kinds of attention!!!  Also, I’m only taking 2 naps now.  We’re transitioning from 3 naps to 2 naps a day.  I’m doing well with it.  I just want to be awake more so that I don’t miss a thing!

I’ve been teething a lot more lately.  I already have 2 teeth on the bottom and this go around it’s pretty bad.  I’ve been a little fussy and been waking up at night.  Hopefully it will get better soon.

Last week my cousin, Kaitlyn, was in from Tennessee.  She stayed the whole week.  We had so much fun playing.  I wish she lived closer!  Then, this past weekend my Aunt Toni and Uncle Matt were in for Easter.  Friday night, Granny, Gi Gi’s, Mommy, Daddy and even me made Bock Sausage.  I can’t wait to get big enough to try it!! 

Sunday morning Mommy made breakfast for us.  Daddy had Bock Sausage and I had banana cereal.  I gave Daddy his Easter present; a big chocolate bunny!  Then we went to church where we met Nanners and Pappy.  Then after church we went back to Granny and Gi Gi’s house to spend the day with family.  We had Easter dinner and I got to open my baskets that the Easter bunny left for me!  I got clothes, a bubble gun, stuffed bunny and duck, toys that light up and make noise (my favorite), shoes that squeak when you walk in them (thanks Aunt Toni and Granny) and some jars of baby food.  After we got home, Nanners and Pappy came over and spent time with me!  The Easter bunny was good to me this year!  I can’t wait til next year when I will be able to hunt eggs!

Fun Weekend!!

This past week, we got approx. 5 inches of snow.  On Saturday, 3/8/2008, Mommy, Daddy and I went down to Granny and GiGi’s house.  Daddy and GiGi went outside and made a snowman without the head.  They fixed it up so that I could sit inside the snowman and I be the head and arms.  Here are some pics.

Congratulations to cousin Jerrad for having his business, Chicago’s Pizza, win Small Business Of The Year at the Chamber of Commerce dinner!!!

I got 2 teeth!!

On 3/6/2008 I cut my first TWO teeth!!  Also, on 3/6/2008 I found that I can say Da Da!  That’s all I say….da da da da… on and on!  Mommy says that Daddy’s got the big head about it.  He’s very proud of me! 

My likes this month are:  Playing in my jumparoo, walking around in my walker, playing at daycare with the girls (I’m a little stud), eating my biter biscuits, going to the store and riding in the cart, baths, smiling, sucking my thumb, watching Barney and my Baby Einsteen videos, Sponge Bob Square Pants and laughing.

I love my Pappy christmas-to-march-2008-135.jpg

and I love my Gi Gi christmas-to-march-2008-151.jpg

My dislikes are:  still greenbeans.  There’s not much that I don’t like.  I’m a very happy baby and Mommy and Daddy are Very Blessed to have me!!  Mommy prays every night and thanks God that he blessed her with me!

Today, 3/7/2008, we are having a snow storm.  They’re calling for 4-6″. Hopefully tomorrow morning I’ll get to go outside and make a snowman!

I am 6 months old!

On February 17, 2008 I turned 6 months old and it has been a roller-coaster of a month!  It started out at my 6 month well visit.  I am now a whopping 28 inches long and weigh in at 20.5 lbs!  I am a big boy!!  My doctor says I am right on track with my development and she’s very happy with my growth. 

Next, I got sick!  I mean sick!!  I got bronchiolitis and had to do breathing treatments.  I’m on my way to getting back to feeling better.  Mommy and Daddy are giving me lots of TLC which makes me feel really good! 

I’ve cut my first tooth (3/4/2008)  It hasn’t come all the way through yet but you can feel the top of it where it has cut through a little bit!  Mommy gave me a biter biscuit tonight to chew on.  It is like a ginger breat cookie, but boy is it messy. 

I want to say Welcome Home to my Uncle Matt who’s back from a 5 month long business out of the country.  Maybe I can get closer to getting a cousin now!!

And, Congratulations to Cousins Jen & Derek in the birth of my 3rd cousin, Jacob Michael who was born on March 3, 2008.  6lb 3oz.  19.75 inches long.

Hope this finds everyone well and healthy from all the sickness going around! 

Love, Drew

My first snow!

On January 17, 2008 (5 months old) I tried baby food for the first time drew-5-months-042.jpg Mommy and Daddy fed me green beans…drew-5-months-040.jpgdrew-5-months-045.jpg I HATE GREEN BEANS!! drew-5-months-088.jpg  So then we moved on to carrots….I liked carrots!  drew-5-months-091.jpgdrew-5-months-094.jpg Now, this week, I’ve been eating sweet potatoes and apple sauce which I like too!  

Another thing that I do is that when I’m angry or tired, I growl like a bear. drew-5-months-054.jpg 

Yesterday, 2/11/2008, I got to see my first snow!  Mommy and Daddy took me out in my snowsuit and let me play in it.  I didn’t really know what to think about all that white stuff falling down…drew-5-months-097.jpgdrew-5-months-098.jpgdrew-5-months-102.jpg

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!  And Happy Birthday to my Great Granny!

Love, Drew

I’m Back!!!!

I want to apologize for my parents.  They have been very busy and then our computer got a virus…yadda yadda….but now…..I’m back in business!!!!

I’ve got so much to share with you.  I hope that the new year has been good to everyone.  It’s been very good to us.  I’m doing so many new things!!  I love to laugh.  Laughing is by far my favorite thing to do.  Anything anyone does I’m always laughing.  I continue to be a very happy baby! 

On January 17 I turned 5 months old.  Wow!!  Mommy and Daddy say they can’t believe how big I’m getting and how smart I am.  I love to read books.  I like to help turn the pages and touch the pages too!

I am rolling over both ways now.  I don’t mind to be on my stomach for tummy-time.  As long as there are toys around, I’m pretty content.  I can scoot backwards and side to side.   Pretty soon I’ll be crawling!!!  I can kind of scoot forward to reach a toy.  I scoot like a G.I. Joe. 

I LOVE to Jump!  I got a jumparoo for Christmas and I love being in it.  I play with the toys and jump up and down.  Mommy says sometimes she thinks I’m going to jump out of the seat!

I’ve learned how to stick my tongue out and make razzing noises (lovely!!) 

 I continue to make Mommy and Daddy very happy and everyday they tell me how much they love me!!

I’m posting my 5 month pictures that Ashton Zuelly took!  She is such a good photographer and Mommy and Daddy are really glad that she comes home from college to take them!!

I want to say get better to my Great Pappaw Monkey!!

 Love, Drew

I LOVE Christmas!!

Wow!  What an exciting past couple of weeks I have had!  First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my family and friends.  Hope you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did.  I didn’t know how much fun Christmas time was.  It started the weekend before Christmas and didn’t end until the Friday after.  The weekend before Christmas was my Mommy’s dad’s side of the family.  Every year they have all always gathered and spent the weekend at the Executive Inn in Owensboro, KY.  I was very lucky to experience the 30th year anniversary that my family has done this.  Everyone was able to be there and I got to play with all of my 2nd cousins:  Zane, Zoey, Anzley, Caleb, Eli, Katie, Annika and Kyla!  I can’t wait until next year to do it again!  Then Christmas Eve brought lots of fun!  I got to meet family from Deleware for the first time!  I got to meet my Great Aunt Connie, Great Uncle Dick, Cousins Derek, Jen, and Baby Freer, Erin, Tommy, Lindsey and Chris (Merry Tmas, Chris!)  Christmas Eve night was spent at Granny Terri’s house.  Her and Grandpa Rick always do a themed Christmas.  This year was “A Christmas Story”  My Aunt Toni, Uncle Matt and Cousin Kaitlyn were there too!  We went downstairs and there was my Granny dressed as Ralphie holding the Red Rider  BB Gun and Grandpa dressed in the pink bunny outfit!  Oh they looked funny!  We had lots of fun.  Then Santa Claus came and gave me and Kaitlyn lots of gifts and I got to get my picture taken with him!  That was lots of fun.

Then Christmas morning was spent at my Great Granny’s house.  We all went downstairs in our pajamas and opened gifts and then ate a big breakfast!  Christmas afternoon was at my Nanners and Pappy’s  house (Mommy’s mom & dad)  with my Aunt Tessa and new Uncle Mike!  We had lots of fun! 

Finally the Friday after Christmas was Mommy’s mom’s side of the family.  It was at Nanners house.  We played games and opened gifts.  But boy at the end of the Christmas week…I was a very tired boy! 

Here are some pictures….

Love, Drew
