Back to School

September is here and we are back to school. It has been hard getting back on schedule and everything is so stressful at the beginning of the year (if you are a teacher you understand). So needless to say I have been busy and exhausted!! After only being back to school one week I end up sick...my same old sinus infection that I get every year. Drake has been doing well. He is back with his babysitter and having a good time with her! He is talking more and more, he is finally saying words that actually make sense instead of just all jibberish...and he is trying to say what you tell him to say. So far he says: mama, dada, ball, tree, uh-oh, mmuuu(more), Bo, cracker, bath, and when you tell him bye bye he kisses his hand--he is blowing you a kiss!

He is growing so much! I can't believe he will be 19 months on Monday. He is a climbing fool! His newest thing is to find any toy, anything that he thinks he can step on and use it to help him climb on couch. He loves to sit on the couch...which I don't mind as long as I am sitting with him cause if not he runs back and forth making me a nervous wreck!

Okay well I am tired...11:00 on a Friday night and I am exhausted...better get to bed! Will let you know how he does at Bo's game tomorrow if it doesn't get rained out like tonight's did. Good night all! :)

July already??

I can't believe how fast this summer is going! July 4th was fun...we went to Rachel's. We swam and ate some good brisket that Bo cooked. It was a great day with the family. We went to watch fireworks and Drake did seem more interested this year...he didn't say much but he would clap after some of them. Noah of course was jumping all over the place and loving the fireworks!

We have been lucky enough to have several playdates with my best friend and her little boy who is 3 months younger....it is so fun to watch them play! It is so nice to have this time in the summer to visit with friends since during the year we are busy with work, etc.

We are looking forward to this month as we have several birthdays in July to celebrate and more time to spend with family & friends! I have attached another video of Drake in the car dancing. He does this everytime we get in the car and he hears a song he likes....it is so funny! I guess he has been watching me too much...as I can't help but dance when a good song comes on :) And yes he has all his gear...blanket & paci...must haves for in the car!

Summer Fun!

Galveston was fun! We enjoyed visiting family and taking Drake out to the beach, and Moody Gardens aquarium. He enjoyed getting into EVERYTHING at Grandpa's & Grandma's house and Great-Grandma's house. I am glad that we were able to get down there and spend time with them.

We are looking forward to this Saturday (4th of July) and hoping Drake will have more of a clue about fireworks this year...last year he was too young to know what was going on..plus the fireworks were so far away. Can't wait to see his reaction this year...and hopefully it will be a good one!

Bo and I are doing good...still enjoying summer with our baby boy! I put a few more videos on here:

This first one below this post is Drake dancing( mostly headbanging)...sorry the lighting is bad. We were watching a special American Idol this past week where they were singing Micheal Jackson songs and he started to dance so I grabbed my phone.

2) The video in the middle is of Drake sitting on his truck one morning this past week and talking & spitting. (his newest habbit..gross) I totally didn't see him spit the first time until I saw this video. Little stinker!

3)The last video is of Drake and Noah sitting in Rachel & Ken's backyard by the pool having a snack. I just thought it was so cute that Drake would sit in that chair for a good while! ;) Please ignore my annoying voice on the video. I also will add some pics from Galveston to our online album...click link on side of blog.

Have a great 4th of July!
