I am officially into everything!

Since last week, I am officially into everything. I love to eat shoes, crawl on the tile and stand up at the front door, climb the steps, and my favorite thing to do is to climb under the coffee table and get the cords to the monitor. It drives mommy crazy because she would have to have at least 5 different gates to stop me. In the last 2 days I have had 4 face plants onto the tile or coffee table. I guess I must be strong because I cry, but I get back up and do it all over again. I now have one black and blue bruise on my head, but I should have 3 or 4. My aunt Amy did not find out what the baby was last week because the bambino was not cooperative. We have to wait 3 more weeks to find out what the baby is. I hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for checking in with us.

I got new clothes for dirt cheap! They are so cute huh?




So my mommy and daddy went around looking for a new grill this weekend because their old one didn't survive the 3rd and hopefully final move. My mommy walked into Kmart of all places and happened to run into a rack full of clothes. Needless to say mommy had never bought anything from Kmart for me, but boy did she score. Everything on the rack was marked down plus 40% off. The outfit that I have on in this picture is from Kmart and she got me a couple of outfits for next year and a couple of other shirts, shorts, and she even got herself 2 tank tops (68 cents a piece). Mommy was so proud because she only spent $17. Nice! Mommy wanted to share the information about Kfart incase any of you actually have one close and want to buy your clothes for your kids at Kmart. All is well here at the new house. I am eating like a mad person (as you can see in the picture), except for today at daycare. I am no longer army crawling, just crawling EVERYWHERE! I am pulling myself up on things, including the bath tub which scares mommy and daddy. I love playing in the bath and having mommy pour water over my head. I usually eat the wash cloth before mommy uses it. She doesn't really like me doing that, but I want to suck the water out of it. I went to the Mauer family reunion with Grandma and Grandpa Mauer this past weekend and boy did I have fun. Mommy got my room all organized with my clothes in drawers for the first time ever. Mommy loves it organized, but daddy will probably be confused when he dresses me because he does not know where anything is. Mommy will have to explain her organization. I hope all is well with everyone. Jennifer, Trisha, and Julie, I know you guys read the blog. Thanks!

I love my new car seat, but mine is more boyish than this!


So this picture was taken in Houston so NO Sophie this is not Drew's new car seat. You are right, it is a little girlish. This was my sister Cathy's nanny's car seat that she let us borrow for the whole time we were in Houston. Thanks Naomi and Kaitlyn. Well, the first week back was not so bad, but I miss hanging out with Drew all day. I feel like I am missing out on daily activities that he does. He is crawling everywhere and according to the daycare providers, grandparents and great grandma, Drew is a "busy boy." I'm sure that does not surprise anyone considering who his parents are. Ha! He is into everything, including the cords that hang from our wall. We are constantly moving him away from things he should not be in. However, Drew has learned that he can't roll over on the tile and hardwood very easily. My sister Cathy told me that he would learn fast and boy did he. Kids know where they should and should not be. He very carefully rolls whenever he is on the tile or hardwood floors. It is kind of funny to see him do this because no where else in the entire house does he roll very slowly. Drew now has 2 teeth and is starting to eat little munchies like what I call the "meltaways." You put them in his mouth and they pretty much melt. He still prefers food over the "meltaways." Drew is also going to have a new cousin. We will hopefully find out if aunt Amy is going to have a boy or girl on August 20th. I'm sure Drew would love to have a little boy around, but who knows. Congrats Amy, Josh, Hannah, and Sopie. I can't wait to have another little one around. They are so much fun. Hope all is well with everyone and I will talk to you soon. Oh, Congratulations also to Jennifer Mytty. Jennifer, I'm not sure if anyone else actually reads this, but congrats!

I think I am starting to look like uncle Brian!

I love this picture of Drew. It reminds me of one of my little brothers' baby pictures. He is so cute isn't he? Drew is cutting his second tooth now and boy is he grouchy. He kept us up ALL night for the first time because he was fussy and didn't feel good. I feel bad for him, but I am doing everything I can to help him feel better. We are enjoying our last week together. We have nobody around to hang out with during the week because everyone is on vacation. My family (Kris, Mom, and all the girls) is in Minnesota. I decided it was way too far for us to go and I didn't want to drive that far. Grandma and Grandpa Meyers are on vacation also. They left for Colorado the other day. We are kind of bored, but then again Drew has been very crabby. We have had some visitors this week come over to the new house. Jill Batman and Erin Hochstein came over to check out our new house and see Drew. Of course he was good as gold while they were here. Hope all is well with everyone. I have to go feed Drew some food.

I finally got Baptized!





So my mommy and daddy finally got me baptized this past weekend. I loved the white outfit, but decided to throw up on it as soon as my parents put it on me. I also threw up during the ceremony. I thought it was pretty amusing to watch my parents try to clean up the church floor. Other than the throwing up I loved the water and the candle burning was my favorite. I had so many people come and watch me and come to my house afterwards for cake. Thanks for coming! This week mommy and I have been lazy. We have went to the pool, shopping, and just lounged around. Mommy has to go back to work on the 11th and she is not looking forward to it. I know I will miss her, but I get to see my grandma and grandpa everyday. Yeah! Hope all is well with everyone. Talk to you soon.
