The BIG 30

Happy Big 30 Ted!
Ted has finally joined me and turned 30 yesterday. I was so excited because his birthday was on a Sunday this year so he didn't have to work. We had a nice relaxing day at home.

On Saturday he was able to get off work a little early and we went to dinner at the Mandarin with most of his family (we missed you Ryan and Annie). We had a blast! It was so much fun we extended the evening and all went out for gelato.

Here is the family at the Mandarin

I had been waiting for Ted to be home so we could start feeding Drew rice cereal. We decided what better day than his birthday. Drew didn't seem to mind the taste, but hasn't quite figured out how to swallow it. It is hard to tell in the pictures but most of it ended up on his face and bib.

Here is Drew before the mess began.

Drew is always wondering what the camera is all about.


He seemed to really love the yellow bowl we were using, he kept on lunging for it.

He loved chewing on the spoon.

After Drew's big meal my boys were pretty tired and they enjoyed a nap together.


After the nap we enjoyed some yummy lemon chiffon cake.

Happy 4 month birthday!

Drew turned 4 months old last Tuesday, and had his 4 month Dr. appointment last week. This boy is such a tiny kid: he weighs 10 lbs. 14 oz. and is 23 inches long. He is probably in the first percentile, but it is hard to tell exactly since he is below everything on the chart. The Dr. isn't worried because he is still growing and meeting his developmental milestones. Drew was so dang cute and smiley for the Dr. and a champ for his immunizations.
Who knew that with Ted as my husband I would have such a scrawny kid. I am just bracing myself for when we have a husky solid little girl who is going to be able to beat up her little older brother :) It is truthfully kind of fun to still have a little baby to cuddle, so I should not complain. Seriously could he get any cuter!

These 3 pictures are on his 4 month birthday



(I have a hard time getting any other face than this because he is intrigued by the camera)


Our friend Wendy gave us this "tax deduction"shirt so he could wear it just in time for tax season


Drew and Ted have some bonding time before work

Waiting for the Dr. to come (aren't they both handsome)
