You should see the other guy

Drew has always been one to dive head first into things, and now that he pulls himself up on everything the bruises are frequent and the blood was, well, inevitable. He gave himself this doozie this morning. (the yellowing bruise beside it was from an enthusiastic lurch towards to bathroom faucet earlier in the week).

I think it looks a lot worse than it is since he won't let us wipe off the blood. I guess he just wants to look like a tough hockey player for his first birthday. Maybe it has something to do with watching NHL highlights with Daddy...

Happy Birthday Mommy!

I'm so happy that you're my Mommy!


So happy, I could climb the bookshelf

translation:
I took an exciting trip in the white and red truck with the flashy lights and enjoyed a week visiting with my ICU admirers but now I am happily at home, causing trouble, learning new tricks, and wearing out my parents.


***Drew trained at the Slam-Slam School of Typing (affiliated with the Slam-Slam School of Piano), and thus is only permitted short (but enthusiastic) stints on the computer

Happy New Year!

That might be stretching it.

Drew loves all the happy faces at the ICU to stay away for too long, so we're back. His idea.

Lest you be worried or sad enjoy this video. We'll provide an update when we find the time...
