Birthday Adventures

We began Drew's birthday with our usual morning routine, except this morning we brought his gifts in with us when we got him out of bed. We have never seen his eyes bug out so much looking at those gifts. I swear he was 3 inches taller when I got him out of bed.We put on a pot of coffee, got Drew some milk and headed back to bed to open up the presents. This morning in leiu of Channel 5 News, we put on PBS and let Drew watch Big World.

When we brought him downstairs for blueberry pancake breakfast, there was a big Valentines gift waiting for him on his high chair. He ate the entire pancake plus half of another one. He started doing something new at breakfast (perhaps it was the maple syrup), after taking a bite he would lick off his fingers and make a mmmbup sound when pulling them out of his mouth...too adorable. Our laughing encouraged much more of this.

After breakfast and a nap, we headed into Boston to go to the Children's Museum. We all had so much fun. There are definetly more things we can go back for once Drew is older, but he found plenty of things to play with.

This was the FIRST thing that Drew found to play with...a Duck of course!

"Hey kid, wait your turn...this is my car"

Running...Drew's new favorite thing to do.

After the Museum (and a little nap on the ride home) we went and bought Drew a little cake to have after dinner...but not until we stopped at McDonalds for his first taste of fast food - he ate a few french fries and a couple bites of a burger bun. We then went home and had tofu and spinach and potatoes for dinner #2 (healthy dinner). Then the cake....

I also had 2 dozen long stem roses waiting for me from Drew when we got home! They are so beautiful!

What a perfect day. Drew was an angel all day long and we were so happy to see him have so much fun.
