Night on the Town

Drew had his first dinner party last night! I was craving some Italian food, so Uncle Adam and Aunt Heather went out to eat with us at Dibz. It was so much fun to get out and be social, and Drew was an angel and slept soundly the whole time. It was a fun night!!

Look Mom -- No Hands!

We've gone hands free today, which makes it so nice to be able to sit and type or do things around the house and still be able to keep Drew close to me. He really loves his swing, but he was spending countless hours in it. I'm suprised he's not sea-sick from all the rocking! So, I figured it was time to see how the baby carrier worked. So far, he seems to like it. Thanks Susie and Tom for this wonderful gift! Not only will it be great for family hikes, but it's really handy now too.

Ladies Man

Drew was a true Ladies Man last night! He went with me to our Sunday School's Ladies Night Out, which was a dessert "show off" contest. He had a great time...although he didn't know it because he slept through the whole thing.

The sweets were fantastic! One was truly amazing in taste and looks. Elizabeth outdid herself on a cappuccino mousse brownie torte with a fancy Pirouette cookie crust! It tasted even better than it looked. She (of course) won the "Best Presentation" prize and also got the most votes for "Best Chocolate." Lucky for me, she could only win one award. So, the "Next Best Chocolate" prize went to me for Pudding Cake!! Jenny won the prize for "Best Non-Chocolate" with an amazingly delicious warm caramel apple creation. The other desserts were fabulous too! Too bad Drew is too little to indulge on all the yummies that were there. Although, I think he still felt the sugar high anyway!

Bath Time

Drew had a big day yesterday, and it all started with his first bath! He didn't seem to mind it as much as I thought he might. We loaded the tub up on the kitchen sink and washed away. He seemed to kind of like it at first...probably because it felt so good to be clean! By the end though, he just looked like he was cold and really happy to be in a dry towel. Regardless, it was a fun first bath. Dad did a great job at bathing Drew while I stood back and played paparazzo!

After the bath, it was time for our first photo shoot. Lori Barnidge, a photographer in our Medical Education Alliance, and her husband Michael came to our house for Drew's first professional pictures. Drew did really well. He didn't fuss too much, and he only really sprayed us once during the "naked baby" pictures. It took all hands on deck to get him posed and keep him happy, so we don't have any snapshots of the session, but we'll have the real pictures for you to see soon!

Happy Valentine's Day

It was Drew's first Valentine's Day and he did it up in style! He was given an adorable little "Be Mine" outfit by some friends of ours, the Hoopingarner's. It even had a fuzzy pair of wings on the back! Too perfect for our little angel.

Drew and I made Dad some chocolate covered strawberries and a strawberry cake for Valentine's Day. Dad and Kobe gave me a cute box of chocolates. It was a fun day as our newly expanded family had more love to celebrate this year!

We're Home!

We finally made it home from the hospital on February 2nd! Here are a few pictures of our homecoming and Kobe meeting his little brother.
