Birthday Bash

We had Drew's big birthday party a couple days ago.  It was a farm theme.  Everything turned out so cute.  Drew seems to enjoy animals.  He likes the dogs, cats, and horses and animal books.  It wasn't too extravagent, not like Luke's have been.  There weren't a lot of people, just grandparents, Mark and Tina, and Miranda and Bob, and the kids.  Drew was happy and liked his cake but couldn't care less about the presents.  I had to open them all.  He got a lot of clothes and some toys.  Luke plays with all the toys and doesn't like to share them with Drew a whole lot.  It was a fun day though.  Drew is so funny.  He thinks everything is funny and carries on a conversation saying nothing more than "uh duu" several times in different tones and speeds.  I remember thinking Luke was the cutest kid ever, now I think Drew is!  It is just a fun stage.

Birthday Cupcakes

Today Luke helped me make cupcakes for Drew's birthday.  Sounds sweet and fun but he sure isn't a "help."  He wanted to crack the eggs which got all over the place and eggshells in everything and he wanted to dump in the ingredients and mix the batter.  After that I'm pretty sure he drank about a half cup of the batter while I was dealing with Drew!  He was so proud of himself though.  After making them though they just aren't too appetizing to me!

Hard to Believe

Well, I put my baby to bed tonight for the last time as a 'baby.'  Tomorrow he will be one year old!  He will still be my baby but it's a bittersweet feeling to know that this first year is the first of many that will fly by before my eyes.  He has been the sweetest baby ever and I don't ever want to forget how he so many times lays his little head on my shoulder.  Tonight I sat on the floor, as always, and the 3 of us (Luke, Drew, and I) read books.  Then I said "ok Drew, Night Night."  He crawled up on my lap and laid his head on my shoulder.  Then I sang to him Jesus Loves Me and a few others like always and laid him in his crib where he stuck his bottom in the air and didn't make another sound. I am happy he is so healthy and growing strong but I'm trying so hard to cherish these moments that will soon be gone.
