On Saturday, we had Wendi's Bridal Shower at my house. Of course the leftover balloons stayed here and boy was Drew in heaven. There were 6 balloons and he actually was getting frustrated because he couldn't hold all 6 in one hand. I finally gave him only 1 and hid the rest in my room. It was so cute watching him walk around the house holding his balloon, not letting it out of his sight. Every minute or so, he would look up just to make sure it was still there. I finally was the mean mom and took his balloon away so he could take his nap. Man, did that not sit well. He screamed on the top of his lungs but went to bed nicely. I thought maybe he would forget about his balloon after his nap, but no, he went looking for it right away. It was too funny.
We have all recovered from our trip to Utah. It was nice because one day after getting home, Drew was back to sleeping 2 1/2 to 3 hour naps and sleeping 13 hours at night. I was in heaven. Then Monday morning he woke up with a cough and by that night he had a runny nose and itchy ears. He went back to getting up at 6 or 6:30 instead of 8 and talking 1 to 2 hour naps. It was very frustrating for me. So we have been giving him garlic drops in the ears and Tylenol and using the nose sucker. Tuesday night was horrible. He was up every 30 min. until 12:30, that's when I used the nose sucker. Then yesterday, Wednesday, Ryan looked at Drew's gums and saw that one of his molars broke through. Man, that sucker came in pretty quick because I checked his gums on Tuesday and saw nothing. He does have one more coming in on the bottom but it is no where near breaking the surface. So now Drew has 5 teeth on top and 2 on bottom. He is just a little lop-sided, but we still love him. So that night he got ear drops, Tylenol, the nose sucker, and Orajel. He slept his 13 hours once again. It was nice. Now we just need to work on taking longer naps but I would rather have him sleep 13 hours at night and only take 2 hour naps.
These last few pictures are of Drew playing in my buffet table. He was having lots of fun sitting and standing in it. He was too cute, I couldn't tell him no!

That's cute with the balloon. The things that make them happy. Sorry about the fun nights and naps. Teeth are so hard to bring in. I always feel so bad for Dallin. He will get back on track soon.

He is so cute with his balloon. Hope he gets feeling better!!
My kids love balloons too, and they don't like to share either. I guess its a kid thing! :)
Love the buffet table! Is that new(ish)? Of course it's been quite a while since I've been to your house... but that's on my endless list of furniture I want to get; a buffet table about like yours. Drew's such a cutie; those pics remind me of Noah at that age. He was always my best sleeper!
Oh doesn't he LOVE balloons. That kid goes crazy if you take it away from him. Nontheless he is a cutie. Thanks for hosting the shower. I didn't mind cause I didn't have to do deep cleaning
I've never heard of garlic drops. What are they for?
Drew is so cute and growing up SO fast!!
It was so funny how much he loved that balloon. At least they are a cheap way to keep him entertained.
