Jack is 11 months old!!!

Our little guy is 11 months old today! We can't believe that he is almost ONE already! He is getting so big and is all over the place and into everything! He crawls on all 4s now and is speedy fast, especially when Drew has a toy that he wants. He pulls up and cruises along almost anything!! He is getting really good at standing on his own - I have a feeling he may be walking before his first birthday! He babbles like crazy - entire conversations, it sounds like - but still has yet to say "mama". I try!! He does say, "duh duh" which I think means dog and Drew. :) And today, on his 11 month birthday - his first tooth is popping through!! FINALLY!! Here are some recent pictures - enjoy!

He puts anything up to his ear like it's a phone.



He loves to look at his books - especially ones with flaps to lift!



Pulling himself up on the drawers - we are in trouble...


He loves to walk around the house pushing his little walker!





Trying to get up the stairs...haven't mastered that one quite yet - thank goodness...


Funny faces...





Standing on my own - I am SO BIG!!!

Washing some dishes in the basement - at Mommy's old kitchen set! One of his favorites...

What can I get you??

Silly boy...

Pulled himself up on Drew's tractor and was pushing it around!

Dear weather, Please warm up so we can go outside!!! Love, Jack

Random Pics

Here are just a few random pictures of the boys and a video of funny man Drew. We had to do something to keep ourselves busy since we've been stuck inside with coughs and fevers!!

Drew is 4 years old!!!

Wow - where does the time go?? Drew turned 4 years old today! I can remember the day he was born like it was yesterday. He was such a tiny little thing, in the NICU for 13 days - and look at him now!! He is a barrel of energy and such a smart little cookie! He has gotten so tall lately, and is turning into such a little boy! He goes to preschool 2 mornings a week and amazes me every day with the things he says and the things he knows! He is quite the talker and has a great imagination - loves to pretend!

He had his birthday party yesterday, with all the family and a few of his little friends. Grandma and Grandpa and Great Aunt Debbie all came into town for the big day! He wanted a tractor party this year and loved his tractor cake and balloons.



Enjoying a little pizza with Neely and Isabel!


Opening his presents - he had a circle of little girls around him the whole time wanting to help! So cute!
I LOVE trucks!!!

I love my new semi truck hauler from Jack!

We went to Red Robin for dinner - Drew wasn't too sure about the singing and the balloons that they wanted to put on his ears!


He scarfed up the ice cream sundae, though!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DREW JACOB!! We love you so much!
