Growin' Like a Weed : Drew - 9 Months


Height: 28.25" 
Weight: 20 lbs 15oz

Likes: Mommy, Mommy's milk, sleeping with Mommy, pulling Mommy's hair, not being happy unless he's touching Mommy, veggie straws, being naked, drinking water out of his sister's water bottles

Dislikes:  If I'm out of sight or not holding him. Shew. He's REALLY wearing me out! STILL hates his carseat/stroller/shopping cart/anything other than ME holding him. And he REALLY HATES the bath and the nursery at Bible study and church. Hahahahaha ahhhh Drewwww! 

Sleeping: One nap midday. Bed time around 8ish (fights it some nights) and then wakes numerous times to nurse/snuggle me. I haven't even considered sleep training, he's our last so I'm going to soak up the snuggles as long as I can!

Eating: Nursing. On demand. All day long AND eating some foods! We tried eggs (he didn't love them), peanut butter (he likes), soup/broth, the kernel-less part of popcorn, haha french fries, yeahhhh pretty much anything now! Just kidding, still no dairy or meat. He doesn't eat a ton of food though. Hopefully he'll like it soon!

Playing: He's crawling REALLY well now, and likes to stand (still needs something to hold on to to pull to a stand). He's taken a step, but normally his top half goes before his bottom half. SO close, Boobers! Drew likes being in the action and enjoys making a mess and dumping toys and crawling away, scattering all the fridge magnets, sitting in the pantry and rolling bottles of water around, playing with the bathroom scale, and doing his best to destroy stray rolls of toilet paper!

Big Sisters: Honestly, adorable. They all love Drew SO much! For a while, when he was new, I thought they could care less about him, but now... oh my! They each love him and smother him all day long! This boy is SO loved! Brooke is really REALLY maturing and helping out a lot! She's growing leaps and bounds each day. Taylor is in a sweet but flighty phase (not my favorite) and she's so stinking creative (I'd love to find a way to bring her back from lalaland easily) haha and Charlotte wants to be big SOOOO badly (no diapers anymore, can put on her socks and shoes by herself, is eating more protein now, etc.) but is still so young (3) it's hard to balance it all out! Praise God for these amazing kids. We seriously can't thank the Lord enough for getting to share life with them!
