"More party"

Drew enjoyed his 2nd birthday over the weekend. Leading up to the big day he practiced singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out candles. At his party at Pequod's he enjoyed proper Chicago-style pizza and an amazing Elmo cupcake birthday cake.  But most of all he loved the company of his family and a few close friends. When the party was over and we left to go home. Drew whined, "more party."  He soon forgot his post-birthday blues when he opened his wonderful birthday gifts.  One week later, he is still singing "Happy Birthday."

I went for a ride with my best friend...

I would like to warn all new parents out there.  Do not let your toddler play around the front seat of your car for they will ask and then scream to be placed in the driver's seat every time you are trying to go somewhere.

Drew has had a busy month. He was a "little devil" for Halloween.  He also went to New Jersey to visit his cousins where he played with more toys then he knew what to do with. Now he is prepping for the cold weather ahead.  He's got his new coat, hat and boots!

ABC's

Drew has always been a chatterbox when it comes to baby talk but in the past week or so there has been an explosion of definite words coming out of his mouth. He is trying so hard to say new words and just the other day he started saying his name.  He said "paw" and "eye" and pointed to those parts on his dog Abbey.  He say's "please" when prompted.  I'm pretty sure he said "park" and positive that he said "door."  More to come!
