9 Months

Hi All,
Happy 9 Months to Drew and Bree!

Bree - You are my sweet little peanut. Even though you are smaller than your brother, you are just as strong. And your determination is unmatched! If you want something, there is no stopping you. In a matter of days, you have decided you prefer to stand rather than sit or lay. You stood up in your crib for the first time (that we know of) today! Somewhere along the way, you have become a good sleeper. You love snuggling up to your dolly-pie in your crib, and you know that means it's time to sleep. You also love sitting on shoulders and going for carpet rides. We often find you crawling to Riley the dog and "patting" her paws. You have a beautiful head of dark brown hair and it really needs to be cut, but I can't bring myself to do it just yet! You have become quite the ham for the camera. We often catch you posing when you see the camera pointed towards you.

Drew - You are such a good natured little guy. You have a smile that melts hearts and a laugh that encourages everyone to join in. You are not a big fan of sleeping and often dodge your naps. But you do love to be rocked to sleep, and I love when we get to snuggle. You are a big fan of eating. You like most all foods you've tried. And you have mastered stuffing cereal puffs into your mouth in no time flat. I envision you someday having M & M eating contests with your Dad! You like to imitate sounds, and you especially like to click your tongue. You love playing with blocks, putting them in and out of the bucket, banging them together, and knocking down block towers. You also still love your jumperoo - heaven forbid you outgrow it someday. You are also very fond of your walks around the lake. You have a full head of blonde hair. We're not sure how you got to be a blondie, but it is very handsome on you!

Drew and Bree, you are wonderful babies and are the joy in my life. Somedays, I wish you would never change, but I know change is inevitable. So I will cherish this time, however fleeting, and look forward to the adventures of tomorrow.
