All About Drew

• Drew weighed 25 pounds (80th percentile) and was 31 1/4 inches (90th percentile) tall at one year old.
• Drew loves to eat. He is very impatient when it is time to eat. You better have food ready when you put him in his highchair. Some of his favorites are grapes, yogurt, bananas, oatmeal, applesauce, pancakes and any kind of bread. We usually have to "cut him off" at mealtimes. He is also a messy eater.
• Drew wants to be big like Jackson. He gets so frustrated when he cannot be right in the middle of whatever Jackson is doing. It also frustrating for Jackson because he does not want Drew to "mess anything up."
• Drew loves to play with a ball of any type. He will throw it in the air and say, "whoa." He also enjoys watching Jackson playing football, basketball, soccer, and hockey.
• Drew is definitely a Daddy's boy. Andy gives me a hard time that all his bibs say stuff about Mommy, however Daddy is definitely his favorite. He will fuss to go to Andy when I am holding him or pitch a fit if Andy leaves the room.
• Drew can be very fiesty and stubborn at times. I do not think he will be backing down from many fights when he is older. He has been very stubborn with his sippy cup lately. He can definitely drink out of it, but he chooses not to most of the time. Tough luck for him because the bottles are gone.
• Drew loves to wrestle with Jackson and Daddy. He crawls over and tries to get into the fun.
• Drew loves to play in Jackson's room. He always crawls in there and plays for a long time.
• Obviously, Drew is not walking, cruising, or attempting to do that. This is skill my children acquire much later. He is pulling up and will stand for a few minutes holding on to something.
• Drew is a sweet cuddler. When he is sleepy, he will hold his lovie, suck his thumb, and lay on my shoulder. It is so precious. I love every minute of reading to him and rocking him.
• Drew really loves to take a bath. He splashes really big and even puts his whole head in the water and blows bubbles. I was astonished the first time he did it, because we had not showed him how to do it. He ducks his head, blows bubbles, looks up, and smiles. Definitely no fear of the water for him. I even put him in the tub while Jackson took a shower and he let the water spray all over his face and body.
• Drew enjoys being outside as well. He loves to ride on Jackson's gator, swing, or go for a ride in the stroller.
• Drew says "oooooooo" all the time when he is playing with his toys. He is so fascinated by everything.
• Drew despises having his diaper and clothes changed. He goes crazy when I put him on the changing table.

This is more than you ever wanted to know about my sweet little baby, however I wanted to put it into words before he is all big and grown up.
