One tooth, two teeth, five teeth

Never one to do things the easy way, Drew just cut three teeth - at the same time. Poor kiddo. Please forgive my lack of blogging the last couple of weeks, but I'm sure you can imagine that things have been hectic.

We had a great visit to Oklahoma City to visit John's family. They were delighted to see how much Drew has grown. He loved playing with his cousin James, and I have some adorable pictures of James (who is 9 months older) sitting on a Mickey Mouse truck while Drew pushes him around the room. They were quite a pair!

Drew continues to figure out this walking thing. He now walks all the way across the room or down the hall on his own. He's just figured out how to get onto his feet from sitting (without using a wall or furniture to pull up on). He is now trying to run, but hasn't mastered that yet. I have a feeling that once he takes off, he's going to be hard to stop!

On the tooth front, two of his three new teeth (all on the top) have made their way through the skin and the third one is starting to appear. We haven't seen any more bottom teeth coming in, so hopefully there will be a respite before more of this teething fun.

We're heading to Amarillo this weekend to visit my family, including my Aunt Lainie, cousin Melissa, and her son Ryan. Those two are about 2 months apart, so they should have a great time together. Hope you enjoy your Labor Day!
