Growin' Like a Weed : Drew - 11 months



Height: Haven't measured him yet " 
Weight: Right around 22lbs

Likes: Walking, being naked, being held/touching Mommy, eating lots of yummy food, being tickled in the ribs, music, playing with balls, hanging out with his sisters, and SO much more! My gracious this boy has come alive!!!

Dislikes: Riding more than 15 minutes in the car, strollers, scrambled eggs, when I'm out of sight, hitting his head on the slide in the back room, when Taylor tries to pick him up, Mommy eating and not feeding him, Mommy peeing and not holding him, Mommy attempting to do anything and not including him, AND going to sleep at night. UGH it's a struggle to get this night owl to fall asleep! Ahhh and the bath, kid HATES a bath! 

Sleeping: One nap midday. Bed time around 9ish (fights it some nights) and then wakes numerous times to nurse/snuggle me. He did however sleep 10 hours straight ONE NIGHT and now I have NUMEROUS clogged ducts and possible mastitis, GRRRRRRR.  Watching him sleep and snuggling him is kind of my favorite thing though!

Eating: Nursing. On demand. All day long AND eating more foods! Pretty much anything I eat, he eats, except I haven't given him a ton of dairy yet (I don't know why) and no meat yet. He's had PLENTY of sweets (I meannn it's kind of in my blood) and snacky things.  He's a bit fan of being a big boy! Even the girls like sharing their food with him.  

Playing: Walkin like a pro and finally wearing shoes so the world is his!  It's adorable to see his affection for balls! He love kicking and bouncing them. He's even starting to say ball! CUUUUUUTE! He really likes the magnets on the fridge, playing with a 99.9% empty, 6 month old Dr. Pepper bottle in the pantry, and picking up a toy and then placing it somewhere random in the house to pick up at a later time! He seems to be pretty adventurous so I'm just letting this lil man explore!

Big Sisters: Soooooo they pretty much have a HUGE crush on this little guy. Seriously, there's not a jealous bone in their body and they all just want to SQUEEZE HIMMMM! Charlotte and Drew, I meannn just gel. Like bedtime snuggles/giggles/wrestling/adorable.  Taylor, she LOVES him to pieces, just can't seem to find her perfect fit with him yet though, but gahlee does she love him. And Brooke, aka Little Momma, she's got him figured out, how to play/discipline/distract/my girl! Ohhhh Boobers, Pookie Butt, Jookie Jones, praise God for your precious self!
