Kerry and I (mainly me) joke a lot about how Drew and Stella should date when they’re older. So of course we staged this photo of the two of them at McDonald’s the other day.

Stella’s already setting the ground rules. 🙂

Posting this a few days late. Hope everyone had a happy valentine’s day!

As I mentioned in my maternity leave post, I’ve been trying to make the most of it by spending time with family. This includes weekly visits with Ong and Ba.

The first grandchild on both sides, Drew is one spoiled little fella. My parents absolutely adore him and I know the feeling is mutual as he is always so happy and calm around them. I haven’t seen my parents this joyful in a long time, especially my Dad. Seeing the smile on his face when he holds Drew just melts my heart. And he even cleaned up my old Teddy Ruxpin so Drew has a new friend to play with when he’s at Ong and Ba’s house.

Keith and I haven’t had a night out sans Drew yet so we’re looking forward to Ong and Ba watching Drew next weekend. It’ll be the first time we’re away from him for a whole night! Wish us luck – I know I’ll need it!

Drew had another “perfect” check up at his eight week appointment. He was such a trooper getting his shots – the nurses were impressed with his ability to recover so quickly after getting them. He’s one tough cookie!

Before the pediatrician came in to see Drew, we had striped him down to his diaper and laid him on the exam table. He was all smiles and then positioned his arm in a fist by his face. I had to quickly snap a picture of this as it resembled a photo that my parents had taken of me around Drew’s age (see photo below). What can I say, we’re two peas in a pod!

Drew hit the two month mark back on January 21st so this post is just a tad bit late.

Our little man is growing like a weed – he’s doubled in weight and is gradually getting taller! We’re loving his chunky arms and legs but our favorite thing about Drew are those chubby cheeks! We’ve been trying not to squeeze them too much or we’ll have to deal with a situation like “deflate-gate”. 😉

Two month stats:
– Weight: 11 lbs 10 ounces
– Height: 22.75 inches

Highlights:
– Sleeps through most of the night with one middle of the night wake up
– Holds his head up
– Smiles for days
– Sticks his tongue out when daddy does
– Loves when Pearl licks his feet
– Wants to stand so badly and moves his legs as if he’s walking / running
