Splish Splash...almost

Drew tested out his new pool today since it is amost 90 degrees outside. I let the water warm up in the sun for a while before putting him in, but I guess it wasn't long enough. We got as far as his toes in the water before he started to cry. I made only one more attempt and then gave up. I am glad that he had a chance to model his new swim trunks. Lucy likes the pool, she thinks it is a big water bowl.

Jammies

I put Drew in this onesie last night and it brought back memories of my pjs when I was little. Andy thought the same thing (I guess our moms had similar tastes in pajamas). Drew looked pretty cute so I thought I would take a picture before we got dressed this morning.

Rainy Day Blues

It rained for most of the day today. There was a small break in the weather for the sun to come out and we quickly went for a walk. That didn't last..not long after we got back the skies opened up again. Drew was not happy about it!

So sad, yet so cute!

Swingset

We put up our swingset in the backyard this week. We got it from Uncle Bill and Auntie Beth when they moved. Still a little too small for a baby swing, Drew enjoyed sitting on our laps. We are looking forward to being able to push him on his own.
Thanks Nick, Ian and Margaret for giving up your swing so your little cousin can enjoy!

Mother's Day

Today was my first Mother's Day as a mommy and it was perfect. We had a very laid back day starting with a long morning lounging in bed (since Drew didn't want to sleep very well last night). Drew gave me my gift (a small camera) which I will be able to keep in my diaper bag so that I can take pictures of him when we go out. Currently, we have a very nice professional quality camera but it is not very portable. Andy was going to make breakfast, but I was all about doing what was easy so we went through the Dunkin' Donuts drive thru instead.
We went to Weston Nurseries and looked around at all of the flowers and plants. Next we went to Stonybrook Wildlife Sanctuary and walked the trail. Drew fell asleep in the Bjorn. We had lunch and then I got to do some gardening when we got home while Andy hung out with Drew.
I am very lucky to have two great men in my life!

Rough Day

Remind me never to think that this job is easy. It was just yesterday that I thought to myself "wow, I can really do this..it isn't so hard". Drew decided to remind me today just how hard it is. We had a "playdate" set up with our friends Alyssa and Zack but apparently Drew did not want to go...maybe it was too hot out today. We had to pull over and spent about 20 minutes in the parking lot of Mighty Subs just calming down, then when we got there we had a spitup catastrophe.
We are home now and Drew looks peacful still in his carseat. Poor guy...maybe we just need to slow down a bit.

Exersaucin'

I put together the Exersaucer that I got at my baby shower today (thanks Caitlyn). Drew took it for a spin this afternoon. It was late in the day, so I wasn't sure how he would take to it..but as the pictures show, he had a pretty good time.

Wubby

Drew chewing on his new friend.

Drew has been hanging onto things very well lately so I decided to introduce a "wubby" for him to hold. I don't want him to turn into Linous, but he looks pretty cute with his new monkey .

Birthday Fun

All of the flowers for my birthday

Drew and I had some of our friends over today for lunch and a nice walk. The weather was beautiful for being outdoors today! The babies seem to enjoy being together...well I am not sure if they do, but I enjoy spending time with the girls.

I now have a house full of beautiful flowers (thanks girls, Mom, Drew & Andy) for my birthday.

It was a good birthday, it made me forget that I am getting old.

Rollover!

Drew's first time rolling over!
Another shot of Drew rolling over...Lucy doesn't seem to be very excited.

Drew rolled over for the first time this morning! He has been making it to his side for some time now but this morning he was chasing his pacifier and went the whole way (the couch probably wasn't the safest place to be doing this). Now he is fast asleep...all of that work tuckered him out.
