The other ones

Drew and Marcus had their Christmas portraits taken in early Dec. Along with the prints I bought, I got a CD with all the pictures taken. Here are a few of the ones that, although cute, didn't make the cut.
Marcus' pose here cracks me up!

I think this is the only one in which Drew isn't smiling

This one is sweet, just not my favorite of the two of them.

This one is also cute, I got prints of one with a different smile

Drew was really excited! Did you know you could smile too big?

This was the first one taken, Marcus was scared of the flash. Luckily he didn't cry through the whole session.

Marcus on the go!

My baby is 6 months old! Marcus is crawling and sitting up by himself. Video evidence below.

Marcus

Hard to believe baby Marcus is 5 month old already! Also hard to believe that he's such a sweet and smiley boy after a colicky beginning. He's sitting up with help and eating rice cereal. He loves the walker since he can stand in it and see what's going on around him.

Tumbleweeds

Matt nicknamed Marcus "Tumbleweed", since he rolls across the room.
This video is from a few days after he rolled over for the first time. Then Drew decided he needed some attention, too.

Fun in the pool

We were only in Atlanta for 36 hours, and Drew spent 6 of them in the pool. Here is a small sample of the aquatic fun, thanks to Daddy and Uncle Nate.

Milestones

Andrew is out of the crib and in a new big boy bed!



Andrew is sharing his blanket with Marcus, who has learned to suck his fists.



Marcus is smiling!



Marcus rolled over for the first time on July 5! He had a big audience watching him!

Marcus, Andrew and Sophie

Sophie is Marcus' giraffe toy. Andrew is hiding his face.
Yummy!
Yep, Drew still has his binky. We can't get Marcus to take one.

Drew and Sarah present "Dances With Umbrella"

Dinosaur Boy

Drew's latest piece of performance art he calls "Dinosaur Boy", or on some nights, "Shark Boy." After his bath, he puts his hooded towel on his head and runs around saying "Goo-goo ga!" What this means I don't know. But for sheer exuberance, Dinosaur Boy cannot be beat.

Drew loves the camera

It is really hard to get good photos or video of Drew right now. As soon as he sees the camera, he wants to see the image on the digital screen, even if we haven't taken the picture yet. This video shows what happens when he realizes he is being filmed. You can hear him say "Pick you up," which is what he says instead of "Pick me up." It sounds like one word, "Pickewup."

Piggies and poopies

Here is a video from Marcus' first day home from the hospital. Drew investigates his toes, doing a rendition of "This Little Piggy." We are working on potty training, so Drew is very interested in the baby's diaper and whether or not he has pooped. It is cuter than it sounds. Enjoy.

Museum of Transportation

With Grandma and Grandpa, Drew loved the trains and planes. Marcus slept in the Snuggli.

Brothers

Andrew tries to get a good look at the new baby.

Drew gives Marcus a kiss.


Drew wants on the boppy once Marcus is done nursing, one of the few times he's shown any jealousy.


Baby's first Easter

Since Marcus was only 4 days old, Drew got all the fun of dyeing the eggs, making the bunny cake, and finding all the eggs!

When Andrew met Marcus

Here's video of Drew visiting me in the hospital and meeting Marcus for the first time. Warning-I'm breast feeding in the video, don't watch if it will offend you.

Who Dat?

Even though Drew didn't get to stay up to watch the 4th quarter, he enjoyed the chips and dip and our Superbowl "party." And a new Saints fan is born.

Monster Truck Jam

We weren't sure if Drew would love or hate going to the Monster Truck Jam. He loves monster trucks, but doesn't like loud noises. Well, even though it was really loud, even in the cheap seats, he had a blast!
With Daddy


Some of the action

Yay!

Here's a video of Grave Digger so you can see some of the action for yourself. Camera batteries died just before the truck flipped over.

Halloween 09

I just downloaded the photos and video from the camera, and they go all the way back to Halloween. Even though it's now January, hope you'll enjoy a peek into Drew's recent past.


Here are some photos of Drew "helping" us rake leaves, earlier the same day.
