Halloween Fun!

Drew got to experience his first Halloween dressed as a Monkey! The first stop we made was Great Grandma & Grandpa Hill. We tried to surprise them so we pulled over to the side of the court and got Drew dressed (we didn't have him dressed already because it was a very hot costume and it was 72 degrees outside). Well, they spotted us before we could ring the doorbell and surprise them...we will get them next time heehee We stayed for a little bit and played...oh yes, we were also informed of his new nickname...Cinco de Monkey! The next stop was Great Grandma & Grandpa Dents, we didn't get any candy but we did get some hugs :) From there, was on to Grandma & Grandpa Dents where Aunt Gail and Grandpa Frank waited too see Drew in his costume. We stayed and handed out candy too all the kids that came Trick or Treating :) The Schwabs came by for a visit too! Christian looked so cute as Superman! Our last stop was Auntie Darcie's house where she was having a Halloween party. Chloe was a cute lil girl pirate :) Drew was so tired from not napping ALL DAY that he fell asleep sitting up in Darcie's lap...poor lil guy! We had a lot of fun and couldn't of asked for a better first Halloween :)

The Adventure of Drew and Cement Feetprints

Today we expanded our driveway with more cement and of course we had to capture Drew's little feeties in it! So daddy had to wake him up from his nap (talk about poking the bear) to immortalize his feet. He of course woke up in a jolly mood because he didn't really want to take a nap anyway and he loves being outside :) The first place we tried was the side yard but the cement was too wet and it didn't hold the print. We moved on to the next location out front and made a shallow little imprint of his feet. It was hard to really press his feet in there to get a good print because he is so little, but we got a decent print anyway :) Hopefully it will stick around!

Firsts are a lot of Fun...Unless it's your first cold :(

Well it was bound to happen...Drew caught a little cold. The poor guy is all congested and had a slight fever of 100.8 last night, so I took him to the doctors today to try and see what I could do to give him some relief. The doctor said all I could really do is wait it out but we could try Saline drops in his nose and Tylenol for the fever. We also increased his Zantac dose from .6ml to 1ml due to him doubling his weight since he was first prescribed Zantac. Oh ya, he now weighs in at 14 pounds and 12 ounces! He's being a trooper so far, but he does get cranky at night and can only sleep about an hour at a time cause his nose is so stuffy. Ah yes, it's like having a newborn at night again for mommy! Oh well, he's lucky I love him so much to be willing to trade much needed beauty sleep for cuddles :)
PS: The picture really has nothing to do with his cold, I just thought it was the funniest face I have ever seen him do :)

Drew's First Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday, we all went to the Rescue Fire Department's pumpkin patch and got Drew his first Pumpkin...well, his first 5 pumpkins (we all love pumpkin seeds!) Basically, he could of cared less to be there but he at least pretended he was having fun for his parents sake :) Just wait until you see his Halloween costume...

I never thought I would live to see the day when Nanni gets a tattoo!!

So this really has nothing to do with Andrew but it was such an astounding event, I just had to document it! My mom, aka Nanni, got a tattoo today! It is a tribute tattoo to her mother, father and to Andrew too :) The deer flower is in memory of Grandpa Larry, the hummingbird is in memory of Grandma and if you look closely, the stem makes a lower case "a" for Andrew (you have to look at it as if you were seeing it from my mom's perspective). She wanted it to be super colorful and that it is! I think it's a beautiful piece of artwork and my cousin-in-law, Anthony, did a great job!!

MMMMMMM RIBS!!

Tonight we gave Andrew a little taste of heaven...his Grandpa Dent's ribs :) As you can see, he enjoyed them a little too much! This picture is when daddy tried to take the bowl of ribs away from him! He was gumming them like crazy! I guess we can assume Andrew is not going to be a vegetarian :)
