Drew and all of his new discoveries!

Now that Drew is crawling pretty well, he is into EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING! If he is awake he is constantly on the move. It is fun to watch him move about the house investigating everything. He is more interested in Bebo now, sometimes too much! He likes to carry one of his red baseball bats with him most of the time. Drew is also "crusing" around using all of the furniture and anything else he can push around and move behind! He is thinking about walking, but I am guessing it won't be until his birthday or a little after. We are looking forward to celebrating our Savior's birthday for the first time with Drew and teaching him what Christmas is all about. Here are some pictures, enjoy! Our boys.
Drew and Monkey for their 11 month close up!

Crawling behind Mommy's chair to get into all of the books and magazines.

This was taken on one of our snow days last week. Drew was looking out the window and then decided to investigate the curtain situation!

He kind of got stuck!

Helping Mommy make supper, or hindering!

He pushed the box of diapers all around the kitchen and ended up underneath the kitchen table.

Helping unpack the diaper bag.

Drew and his favorite toys!

The prisoners begging to be released! :)

Catching Up on Lost Time!

A lot has happend since September! These pictures are in reverse chronological order, if that makes any sense. We have been very busy with school, daycare, football and spending time with family so here's an update of what's been going on! And oh yeah, Drew crawls everywhere now! It's and army crawl but it gets him where he wants to be and shouldn't be very quickly!
These first few pictures are from yesterdays Halloween party at Grandma Jan and Papa Mark's house. This is an annual event that everyone enjoys!
The first one is of Grandma and Drew right before we had to leave.
This is Papa and Drew on the golf cart. The kids go "trick or treating" in the back yard. All of the adults hide behind trees with masks on and the kids ride the cart with Papa and visit all of the "houses". It is so cute and a lot of fun for all!

Uncle Justin and Daddy at thier "houses" waiting to spook the kids!

Drew sporting the elephant costume. Possibly the cutest one there!

Drew doing his part in the reader's theater production. He was obviously the dragon!

Drew, Makenzie and Tjaden waiting for their turn in the reader's theater.

Drew got a hold of some eyeballs used in one of the big kid games.

Playing with Papa.

Yet another eye ball ball!

Going down the slide for the first time.

Drew tries to pull up now. I stood him up to this and he actually took a couple of small steps!

Drew and Daddy's hair cuts!

These are my grandparents.

We went to Gays Mills a couple of weeks ago to the apple orchards and took some pictures on the way home.

This is what he had on under his camo coat, perfect for an apple orchard!

All of the sight seeing wore him out!

Joe's cosin got married in early October and these are some pictures from that day. Here Drew is pulling on Mac's dress!

Drew and his first texting experience.

A four generation with my mom and grandpa.

Drew and his first pumpkin that uncle Danny carved for him. It has teeth in same places Drew does.

Before the pumpkin was carved.

Drew met Kenleigh for the first time. She is one of the guys I went to high school with little girl. She is about four or five months. I think she liked him!

Drew and Monkey for a nine month shoot!

Where Has The Summer Gone???

All ready for his first Panther home game!!!
He loves eating baby MumMums!

Grandpa Doug's beard is so scratchy, he just had to check it out up close.

This one is for Grandma Jan. Our friends Scott and Deb Morgensen gave this to Drew to broaden his horizons a little bit. :)

He is so silly in the mornings in his high chair!!

I can't believe summer is over already!! We are back into the swing of things and enjoying life with an routine. Drew is changing every day. He has two teeth now. The first one I noticed at the football game last Friday night, and the following morning I found the second one on the bottom. He doesn't crawl yet, but it is obvious he is thinking about it!!! He wants to be held, but is constantly trying to get down at the same time. He LOVES daycare. The other kids keep him entertained all day long and he can hardly keep his eyes open when he comes home. (but I make him because I want to love on him too! :) ) We will be sure to let everyone know when he makes the big move into motion!! Until then.

Drew Lloyd is Seven Months!

Drew with his monkey for their seven month picture together. It's hard to belive that the monkey was bigger than Drew at one time!
Drew couldn't believe it either!

Drew decided to read the paper while I was doing dishes one night. Doesn't he look so guilty in the second picture!!

Eating some carrots for supper. I'm glad he didn't have any good clothes on!

Checking out Grandpa Doug's motorcycle. Don't get any crazy ideas!!

It's hard to believe that seven months have flown by already!! Drew is getting so big. He sits up pretty well by himself now. Joe is trying really hard to get him to crawl(I'm not sure why! :)) He loves watching Bebo and playing with anything that makes noise. We go back to school on Friday and Drew has his first day of real day care with other kids. We went to visit last week and I think he's really going to like it. Joe started football practice today, it won't be long and we'll be sitting in the bleachers under the lights cheering on the Panthers!! Well, that is about all the news I have from T-Town for now. Enjoy!
