Drew's Favorites


I am so glad it is a new week, and this week has started off great. Last weekend, Drew got a fever and kept it till Tuesday morning. Thank goodness he had his 15 month check up on Wednesday. By then the fever was gone and he was a perfectly healthy LITTLE boy. Yes, he is our little boy. He lost 1/2 a pound from being sick but at least he is still 20 pounds. He is 29 1/2 inches tall. He is in the less than 5% for weight, 10% for height, and 50% in his head. So I have a short boy with a big head!!! He is definitely a cutie and loves to show off, especially to our doctor. I don't think I am going to switch doctors after all. Drew loves his doctor and goes right up to her and wants her to pick him up and hold him. It is so cute. She is moving in May which makes my commute 20 min. instead of 10 min. but I think we will try it for a few times. So life is starting to get back on track. Dr. Hall checked Drew's ear tubes and everything looks great. I was very relieved to hear that. As for his red cheeks, he just has really sensitive skin and I found a great lotion that works good so I just have to keep that up. Since his doctors appointment, each day seems to be getting better. We finally just had to ignore him when he would wake up in the middle of the night because we think he just wanted our attention and since then, he sleeps through the night once again!!!!! This morning he slept in till 8:00 and he did that on Saturday too and he his taking 2 hour and 40 min. naps which is really nice for me. I think my sleep deprived nights finally are starting to catch up to me because last week I was not feeling well. Hopefully this week is a better week.

So Drew has a few favorites, of course there is always balloons. I hate going to stores that have balloons. He sees them and then wants one so bad that sometimes he throws the biggest fits. He loves any kind of box. He can keep himself occupied for 30 min. or more just playing with a box. He also loves toothbrushes. He has to brush his teeth with me every morning. He lets me know if I forget to give him his toothbrush. He also loves to push things. Tonight he got his chair out and pushed it throughout the whole house. It kept his occupied for 20 min. until it was time for bed. We had to take Carter and Mason's play vacuum home the other day because Drew wouldn't put it down the whole time he was there which was 1 hour and 15 min. He had to hold it the whole way home.

Wow, can you believe Drew is 15 months? Where does the time go. He is developing quite a cute personality and we just love him to pieces. He says Gizmo, Mom, Dad, Nana, hot, hot dog, and thank you. I think he says a few more but can't think off the top of my head. He loves to show off and loves to get into things he is not suppose to. Definitely keeps us on our toes!

Wow he is so grown up these days! What a cutie. Glad the sleeping is going better now; hooray!! My kids always want balloons at Fry's too and I usually don't let them have them since I don't want it to become a habit; balloons around the house drive me crazy! :)

So glad that he is feeling better and the tubes are helping out! Cass has always been that way with his measurements - at least the head. I think % are weird most of the time!
