The Turners were in town in December and stopped by to meet Drew. It was great catching up with them and introducing the kiddos. Can’t wait to see Lily and Drew grow up, and become the best of friends!
Here’s a picture of Amy and I swapping babies. 🙂
As many of you know, Pearl is a very hyperactive dog. She loves just about anyone and will greet you with open arms (literally) at the door. It is this characteristic that makes her a terrible guard dog but we love her just the same.
Although Pearl is great with kids (as seen with her friends Aiden, Grace, Stella, Addy, Carson and Lily), we weren’t sure how she would be around a new baby in the house. You can see in this post of her first encounter with Drew that she was a bit hesitant. However, she immediately got over that and has been such a good big sister to her baby brother. She loves to give him kisses, except when he’s crying – she hasn’t figured out how to handle that type of situation yet. 😉
Here’s a few pictures of what I’m referring to as the boy and sidekick series:
It’s hard to believe that a few weeks ago Drew hit his one month mark! He’s growing up into such a handsome boy – great facial expressions and so much swagger. We absolutely adore our little man!
One month stats:
– Weight: 8 lbs 12.5 ounces
– Height: 20.75 inches
Here are some picture highlights from Drew’s first month:
On the first of the year, Drew and I took a nice stroll in Kirkland with his auntie Kerry, Kristen and Erin. The girls go on a walk ever so often during the week but I can never make it due to work. It’s a nice change to be able to take a couple of hours out of the weekday to spend some QT with the girls. Gotta enjoy the time off while I can! 😉
Keith went back to work this week after taking a month off for paternity leave. Needless to say we miss him like crazy, especially Drew and Pearl.
We’ve been able to keep busy with lunch dates and trips to UVillage. It’s sad to think I’ll be going back to work in a couple months so I’m trying to enjoy the time I have left with my little man. And although we miss daddy, we’re thankful for all the quality time we were able to get together and count down the hours until we see him again. 🙂
With Drew only a few weeks old, we decided to host Christmas at our house. It was really nice not having to travel during the holidays for once.
Larry, Rivers and Catherine made their way to Seattle to spend the holidays with us and most importantly, meet Drew for the first time. We spent Christmas Eve at my Aunt Thao’s house and then Christmas day at our house.
I think everyone enjoyed the time together (as seen in the slideshow) and we look forward to Uncle Tom, Uncle Bill and Aunt Helena joining us next year!
