Family Update

Mitch got our computer fixed so now we can get to our pictures again. I've saved some pictures from the last month which include a trip to the lake, going to the pumpkin patch, and trying on Drew's Halloween costume. He's going to be a cowboy sheriff. He is so stinking cute in it!!!!!

Last week I had to work 12 hour days all week which was a real shock to my system after only working 16 hours a week in the office for the last six months. I missed my baby so much being at work all the time but at least he got to spend some quality time with Daddy. I couldn't believe how much he changed while I was gone. Just in a couple days of not seeing him he started standing up in the middle of the room and walking wherever he wanted to go. It's so crazy what he's capable of now.

What a Shock

Everyone who has seen Drew in the last month has told us that he would be walking soon. We ourselves also expected him to start walking by Thanksgiving. Every few days we'll spend some time with Drew trying to get him to take a step to get from me to Mitch and then back again. On a few occasions lately we've gotten him to take that one step. Last night we sat down to try again hoping that we'd get a step out of him. Mitch started holding him and once he got him standing up we were absolutely shocked when Drew took off not towards me but to the ottoman three feet away...and made it there. Mitch and I immediately looked at one another in disbelief for what had just happened. For the next thirty minutes we watched as our eight month old took off and kept trying his hand at walking taking three to four steps every time. He would start at the ottoman walking along it and then kept going. This happened over and over on every surface he could get to. It was so fun to watch him turn into such a big boy.

Sickness

Sickness will not leave this house. Drew has his second cold and a stomach bug. It has turned our happy little boy who hates to cuddle and wants to go, go, go into a crying unhappy baby who wants to be held constantly. I feel so bad for him. Then this weekend I got another ear infection. I have had two in less than two months which is ridiculous since I think my only other one was when I was four. I'm really starting to get annoyed by all of this. Mitch is also suffering from a cold. So needless to say, it's all fun at our house right now.
