1-year-old photo session

Here are the "official" pictures Drew took for her 1-year-old shoot. Technically she was 13 months, but we fell behind schedule.

Summer Days

Me and Daddy on the Merry-Go-Round. This is actually my second ride and I love it!

Here we are at the Orange County Zoo. They had goats and bears, along with some local animals like coyotes, bunnies and foxes. Daddy thinks this is the reject zoo because we saw one owl with only one eye.

I'm an old pro at the Merry-Go-Round now, I can look and pose while it is in motion.

Weeee!

Peas! I also like to say the words: cheese, tree, Tea (short for Teagen, my friend), and please. But I also say: mama, dada, dog, ball, Drew, up, down, um (Mommy says that a lot), ham, Pooh.

Everyday activities

I like to climb into one of the many toyboxes Grammy has stashed all over the house. I did decide to let GlowWorm and my dolly stay in with me, the other toys weren't so lucky.

I also enjoy sitting in chairs any way except the correct way. Grampy wanted me to mention the fine craftsmanship- apparently he followed the directions from Pottery Barn very accurately (artwork by Grammy).

Family Photo Day at the Montage

Thanks to our friends, the Husteads, Dixons and Jarvises, we had some family pictures taken at the Montage in Laguna Beach. Jennifer did a great job! Here's her website: www.jennifercochranphotography.photoreflect.com

One of the few pictures with everyone smiling, Drew likes to do her own thing these days.
Almost a smile from Drew.
She's probably checking out the other kids at the park- she was dying to play with them!
Drew is always so happy to get kisses from Daddy.
A little playtime with Mommy...
Now if we could all be looking at the camera at the same time...
Very happy early in the photoshoot...
She loved the toys Jennifer and her daughter, Laura, brought!
Fun times with Daddy!
Drew and her best imitation of a monkey!

Playing around

Here's what I did while Mom and Dad were at the rehearsal dinner...

I read GodFather DJ my nursery rhymes book!

Here we are at the movie theater. Mom and Dad took me to see Charlotte's Web but since there were no seats, I insisted on running around the lobby instead.

I love the Hulk!

Daddy is teaching me to drive a little early.

 Next, we went to the park. I'm showing Daddy how you go through the tunnel. He kept telling me to crawl, but I didn't mind bumping my head!

Doing a little training for the 2024 Olympics.

Bubbles!

I wonder if I can get my whole body through these bars?
I like to enjoy a little morning monkey reading.
Who wants to blow these bubbles at me?
"Aaaahhhh!"
Thank you Sam, Chris, Beau, Will, Grace, Grandma, Pa and Ninny for such a great toy!

Wedding weekend

Our good friends Beth and Lewie got married this weekend and though Drew stayed home with Great Auntie Nancy for the wedding, she came to the rehearsal dinner and post-wedding brunch.

Getting kisses from Uncle Craig...
Here he comes again!
At the post-wedding brunch...shortly after wetting Gramps' shirt!
Clapping at D-Rex's toast.
I was honored to be the matron of honor at Beth and Lewie's wedding.
