Pool Time

My parents finally got their pool done, so we were able to do some swimming this weekend. Here are some pictures of Drew exploring the water. He seemed to really like it. Everytime he's somewhere new, hes in shock and takes about an hour to have any reactions. It is so amazing to me how new everything is to them. We got this little float for him, which he thinks is pretty cool, so he can ride around the pool like he owns it!

When we got home....he crashed!

Little River Rat

On Saturday we went out to the River with some friends. We all had a blast, especially Drew. He liked the water, but he absolutely loved playing in the mud. It was a warm day, but the water was perfect. We spent about 6 hours out there and Drew was a good sport the whole time. I swear this child has done more in his first 8 months of life then most children ever do! Of course he won't remember it, but he has fun in the moment.

After a hard day of play...

This is how he sleeps! No joke!


Experimenting with feeding himself solid foods. He doesn't look like he's quite sure! Apple Rice Puffs....yum!

Drew Enjoying the Outdoors

Short video of Drew crawling

Yes...he does crawl and sit up!

Here he is crawling! He still needs some work on his grace!!!

Sitting himself up for the first time!

Drew with his "Dada"

The word is they look kinda alike?!?!

I think he'll have to stop eating the bat to make it in the bigs!

Look at that bunt! He sure can handle a bat!

Happy Birthday Sluggo!

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, so Drew dressed up in his Padres uniform. Have no fear, he's still a D-backs fan through and through!!! Here are some pictures:

Still Learning

I'm not completely sure, but I think I fixed it so anyone can make comments if they want to!

Drew (almost) 8 months!

Here are some pictures, as promised!

Giving it a Try!!!

We finally decided to start a blog. Not sure what exactly that means, but it is possible that I'll be better at posting on this then I am at sending pictures, letter and e-mails. I'll give it a try! We don't have a shortage of pictures, so I should be able to keep up with that part. That being said...I don't have any pictures loaded on this computer, so you'll just have to enjoy my little note for the time being!
We have all been pretty busy lately! I am trying to wrap up the school year (only 4 1/2 weeks left)! I've spent the last couple of weeks working on a big writing portfolio which has kept me in front of the computer doing stuff that's less than fun. Next year I'll keep up with it!!!! Matt has started a new job selling real estate for a development company. I seems to be a lot less stressful with a lot more flexible schedule, so that'll be a good thing.
Drew has been the busiest of us all! He has learned to move and is all over the place. Last week he learned how to really go in his walker and last night he began to crawl! He's still pretty slow with the whole crawling thing, but it won't be long now. We've been so excited for him to start these things, and now I think we are really in for it! He seriously has the best personality! We're pretty lucky!
So, here's our start to this blogworld! I'll get some pictures up soon!
