fun weekend

This weekend Drew went to his buddy Jayce's first birthday party - it was a pool party! Here's Drew and Jayce. (LOVE Jayce's hair!)

Jayce's dad, Tom, took a bunch of pictures and they sent us some - so here they are! Here's Drew and I and Jayce and his mommy, Anne...and Diesel the dog in the background!


Look at Drew kicking! Several times he about jumped in on his own - a little too confident!


After a little while in the big pool, they ended up in the baby pool (or the dog's pool). Here's Drew, Ava, and Jayce (who has Drew by the foot!).

And Tom was pretty proud of this picture - look at that hangtime! And, of course, Drew LOVED it!! You can see Sofia's getting ready to go airborne with Don in a second too! haha

Then on Sunday we headed up to Lenoir for the afternoon. Drew got his first ride on a 4 wheeler! I figured the loud sound would scare him, but he was anxious to get on, and he really liked it! He called it a "mo mo" -which is what he says for motorcycle. Although, he also called a wheelchair a "mo mo" when we went to see Nana's new apartment! haha

Drew is enjoying baseball right now. He will watch it on tv, and he swings his arms when the batter swings. And he says "bat" over and over. He's trying to say "baseball" too. He's getting better at catching a ball, and he's quite impressive with a batting tee! Some of Drew's new words are night night, wa wa (water), mo mo (motorcycle), bubbles, cracker, tractor (sounds like cracker though), duck (and quack quack), moo and meow (they sound a little alike), bzzz for a bee and ssss for a snake sound a little alike too, etc., etc!! He'll surprise us with a new word everyday! Of course, they're not completely clear - but he's trying!
