We often have some type of sporting event on TV in the background at home (I know terrible). Drew’s not really one to sit and watch a full game or show on TV yet but he does enjoy watching a bit of a game and trying to mimic what the players are doing, especially if it’s baseball or football. He even has his own (weird) touchdown pose as evident in the video below. We love our little sports guy!
A few weeks ago, we did a quick family photo session with Kristin Harris photography. I say quick because we had an hour with Kristin but probably used about 30-40 mins of it since Drew could only handle so many smiles for the camera.
We decided to do professional photos for a few reasons: 1) I totally failed and forgot to take Drew’s 18 month photos, 2) for my dad’s birthday earlier this year, we said we would pay for him, my mom and Drew to get photos together and 3) we rarely get family photos with the three (almost four) of us so thought it would be a good time to do so.
Although the session went fast, Kristin managed to capture some really great photos. Below is a slide show of some of the photos – my personal favs are the ones of Drew and Pearl (of course) and our attempt at some HGTV poses. 🙂
For Drew’s first birthday, Rivers and Larry bought him a keyboard. I think they saw how much he enjoyed playing with the keyboard at my parents house, they thought he should have his very own. Lucky kid!
He seems to be really interested in musical instruments so perhaps he’ll be a musician someday. Guess we’ll wait and find out but in the meantime, rock on, Drew!
Also, I captured this video prior to Drew getting his first haircut. Although it was nice to clean up his hair a bit, I do miss the long hair he had going on there.
Seriously can’t stop watching this video…one of my favorites of Drew! The face he makes as he backs up at the beginning is priceless. 🙂
Drew has replaced swings with slides. Look at the excitement on his face when he goes down the slide! ❤
As evident in the videos below, Drew LOVES bath time with daddy. They always have such a great time that I sometimes feel left out! And you gotta love the baby laughs!
It’s official…we’ve got a walker on our hands!
We spent this past New Years Eve in Leavenworth with our cousins, the Ashers and Turners. It was a quick trip and other than going to bed at 7 PM because of Drew and Lily’s bedtime, we had a great time!
Below are some photos that Sandy took from our trip. I love the ones of the kids together (cousins can be just as fun as siblings) but my favorite photo is the second to last one at the bottom. Sandy and Addy went airborne on their sled! Needless to say, Sandy needed Advil and wine after that. 🙂
We did a mini-session for Drew’s one year photos with Sahara Coleman Photography since we had her come to his birthday party to snap some photos as well.
It was a bit difficult to get a newly turned one year old and anxious puppy to take a family photo so below is what we ended up with. Guess it’s better than nothing right?!?
