Drew's first dodger game!







Well actually it's Drew's 4th game. He went to 3 games while he was in my tummy including opening day! He seemed to like it and was looking around a lot. The only thing he didn't like was when the crowd cheered really loud. The first base hit the dodgers got scared him! It didn't help that Jared was holding him and cheered loud also! Overall he did pretty good for being so little. We had fun.

3 months old!



Wow time is really flying! Drew is growing so fast. I can't believe all he can do.

He is 15.5 pounds and 25 inches long!

Loves bath time
Supports weight and head while standing when I hold him

Drew loves the Bath!




Ever since the first time we put Drew in the bath he has really loved it. It seems like his favorite time of the day. He smiles a lot and kicks and splashes. He has never fussed at all in the bath. Lately he has been kicking so much that he gets me all wet! He makes this intense face and then splashes huge! He scares himself sometimes by splashing himself in the face! lol He is about 11 weeks old in these pictures.

Beach Day!





We went to the beach with my friend Sara and her baby Ryan. We had an awesome time. She has a great beach tent and after having so much fun that day I had to get my own. It's so nice being at the beach and not having to worry about the baby getting sun burnt. Both of out babies slept in the tent and we were able to put chairs in and nurse in there too! It was perfect!

Drew's first time touching the pacific!


I put Drew's toes into the water for the first time. He seemed to like it. He always loves being outside. He usually falls asleep at the beach and is very relaxed.

Drew's blessing












Drew was blessed the day before he was 9 weeks old. His grandma Banks bought him a beautiful white outfit to wear. I was so nervous that he would spit up or poop on it! He usually does his business when he wakes up in the morning so that morning we got up 2 hours before church to give him plenty of time. It worked and we got through the day with him in white. Jared gave him a beautiful blessing. He said such wonderful things in the blessing it made me cry. I'm a total sap lately and after his blessing a boy in our ward gave a talk about his up coming mission. I couldn't stop crying thinking about Drew growing up and serving a mission one day. After church we took Drew to Jared's parents house where we had an awesome taco lunch with family. I was so glad that my family was able to come too. It was a very special day for us!
