Time flies.....

I intend to update our blog ALL the time but somehow it always makes it to the bottom of the to-do list or maybe it is because I really don't get past the first two things (sigh)!!

Here is some of our happenings the last few weeks:

Shaggy got his 1st real haircut (our first attempt in October just ended up a cry fest).

It only cost me about $17 w/tip (yikes - he only really got a trim around the ears and back of his neck) but we had to go to the special kids haircut shop....equipped with videos to watch, cars to sit in and suckers to make it all possible!!


Drew got another nickname...compliments of his pediatrician: Mr. Precocious.
Isaac happened to get pink eye (and then Drew and then me; but that is another story) on the same day I had Drew's 15 month check-up scheduled. While the Dr. was checking out Isaac, Drew comes up to me and says: "I want a cracker!" The pediatrician turns to me stunned and says, "He just said, I want a cracker, right?" To which I reply: "yep"! After quite a long laugh from the doctor he tells me: "That is the most precocious 15 month old I have seen." To which I reply: "Wait until he tells you he wants a 'cookie'...or even better, throws his food off his tray at you and then says...'Nah, I want a cookie.'" I personally think of him more as Mr. Audacious!

Here is a clip of just a few of his words. I have been following him around for WEEKS trying to get his "I want" phrases or "I throw" phrases on the video but as is customary he just won't perform for the camera!

Drew can say: blanket, bottle, cracker, cheese, cookie, juice, Isaac, Mom, Dad, Drew, Grandpa, Jesus, Up, ball, throw, car, hot, waffles, this, shoes, book and nah (for no). He is a jabber box!!

Peek-A-Boo anyone???
Other notable Drew moments this past month include: learning how to open doors and climbing up on the table; which for some reason did NOT evoke alot of excitement out of mom!!


We got some really cute Valentine's pictures of the boys done at Target....but these taken at home are my favorite:

Nothing says "I Love You" like sharing your heart sucker with your brother, right!!
(And Jared always wonders why when one gets sick the other will also! I do try, but when you turn around and see this you know it is a lost cause).

Isaac and mom had their first "date" and it even ended up on Valentines Day. We went to see Thomas & Friends at the Cox Pavilion. Isaac LOVED it.
He is really into Thomas right now. Unfortunately, no cameras where allowed inside :(
I got some on my phone camera, but they aren't the greatest.Here is Isaac on the way home!!

And Mom and Isaac eating lunch at Cafe Rio.
Happy Valentine's Day Buddy!!!

Happy Blogging! Hopefully, you'll see more of us sooner than later. But, I can't guarantee much when it is tax season.
