Random highlights from the last few months

I was going through pictures of the last couple months and thought I would highlight a few of the many memories:

Father Christmas/Santa-

Back in December, Drew sat on Father Christmas and Santa's lap for the first time and wasn't too afraid of either of them. A few tears almost came but mostly he was curious and stared at them.

Red hat and Grandma B.- I just loved these pictures of Drew in this cute red hat all bundled up for some fun at "This is the Place". It was pretty darn cold and he still seemed to love being outside and walking around.

I also went and visited my Grandma Brunetti and on this particular visit I had my camera. I thought how it would be nice to have some pictures with his great grandma. She absolutely loved seeing him and making him laugh.


Christmas- Drew's second Christmas was a lot of fun. He didn't quite get into the opening presents- I thought he might like ripping the paper more than he did. One thing he did love was watching and playing with all his cousins. He was even the baby Jesus in our family nativity- and did an awesome job of just sitting there and watching everything. We also dressed him in the cute candy cane pj's that said "little elf" on the bottom- too funny!
Santa also brought him a new fire engine that he loves!

Personality- The collage below just gave me a glimpse at his cute (and sometimes frustrating) personality. He is definitely a mover and a shaker, who loves to throw balls and almost anything else. He loves people and is great at giving that toothy grin and a big clap. He loves people a little too much lately-he will swipe (while growling). grab hair, or bite almost every other kid he sees (he is pulling his friend, Sam's, hair in the bottom left). He doesn't seem to have any fear of the water- we went swimming and he was ready crawl in up to his head! He is a funny little boy, who according to many people is looking more and more like his dad (Ted thinks it has something to do with him chunking up and getting a belly!)
Walking- Drew started walking the end of January. He took his first steps at church in the young women's room (same room my water broke). These pictures were in the first week or so, but it is now his prefered mode of transportation and he is getting pretty good at it. It is funny to see him walking around with that not so little belly sticking out.
