In her Sunday best...

Papa and Drew after the church service was over. Papa is always so proud to show her off at church.

The full outfit...a gift from Lisa and Angelo for her birthday that she hasn't been able to wear yet!!
"Say cheese, Mommy"

Costume confusion

Mommy: Drew, who are these pictures of?


Drew: Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and Babyman

Brown-paper packages tied up with string...

Contrary to the slightly goofy smile on her face, Drew was thrilled to get a huge box in the mail from Grandma, Pa and Ninny today. She put the headband on the baby herself and even helped zip her into her jammies. The box also included preemie diapers, receiving blankets, hats and play clothes. We'll see how long it takes before Drew tries to squeeze herself into those clothes.
Thank you!!

You can see the video of her opening it above :)

Summer Days

Tuesday night at the Shake Shack in Newport Beach.

Dinner at Chili's, dessert on the blanket, 40-minute movie delay, grass stains, snuggling with Mommy, leaving 10 minutes into the movie.

Drew being so sweet with Mommy.
Smelling the lovely flowers.
Running down the huge hill.

Daily fun

Drew in Daddy's t-shirt....at least she's wearing a shirt. These days she insists on taking her shirt off whenever Daddy has his off.
Playing Pirates in the backyard with Caroline and Nikki the Shark.

Best Buds...

Although Lindsey and I were quite a bit older than our girls when we first became friends, we had many picture like these growing up together. Maybe Teagen will also get a "best friends" broken heart necklace for her birthday in October! Maya is such a great big sister and I know Drew wishes Maya was hers!

Do swim lessons pay off??

After 2.5 months of swim lessons and many hours logged in at the pool.

Peanut butter and jelly anyone?

If you dare to look close enough you can see there is actually peanut butter between every single one of her teeth.

2 Birthday Parties!

Drew was lucky enough to be invited to 2 birthday parties on Sunday. Taylor turned 3 and Cooper turned 2 and we celebrated with them at the beach. And Meghan turned 2 and we went to her house for a party. Long day with lots of smiles and cupcakes.
Maya (cousin of birthday boy/girl) pushing Drew on a surfboard.
Katie giving Drew a good tummy tickle.
She loved hanging on the surfboard. I guess someone in our family will have to learn how to surf.
A delicious pirate cupcake, with some sand on the side.
Her party favor included a pirate doo-rag, an eyepatch and a sword. Arrr!
Drew with the birthday girl, Meghan, playing with her dollhouse.
2 cupcakes in the same day? Wow!!
Meghan mostly enjoyed the frosting.
The girls drawing on Meghan's new easel. Drew just loves Meghan's toys.
Doing the new ticky-tacky dance she learned from a friend of Meghan's. Complete with watermelon, chocolate and hot dog stains on her dress!

Fun at the park

Thanks to our friends, Meghan and Wendy, we thought we'd try out a new park. It was twice the size of the other ones we normally go to and Drew had the whole place to herself, though I'm sure she'd rather have some kids to play with. After lunch and a nap, Mommy was informed that our 3-day passes to Disneyland expired that day (Sunday), so we got dressed and headed to Disneyland from 7-10! Mom is still recovering.
