Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are excited to begin a new year of watching Drew grow and develop. I posted A LOT of pictures of Drew in 2006, and look for more to keep coming in 2007. Drew helped us ring in the new year by not wanting to sleep (we were at some friends' house), so Drew was awake and more perky than us while watching the ball drop in Times Square. I hope you enjoy the first blog post of 2007!

We tried on this sweater for Drew last week, and found that it is a perfect fit! Doesn't Drew look cute and cuddly in his sweater?For one of our meals we made mashed potatoes, and Drew ate a lot of them. My favorite food is potatoes, so I was thrilled to see Drew eating with enthusiasm!
Drew makes the same face I do after eating mashed potatoes!

We got so much joy from Drew's grins after eating the potatoes, that I have to include one more picture of his smile.
Drew also has been doing very well at feeding himself and entertaining himself. When we are not actively feeding Drew, we can put some food on his tray and he will "feed" himself. A lot of the food ends up on his bib, on his face, stuck to his hands, and on the floor, but some makes it into his mouth!
Drew was romping around our living room this past weekend in his onesie. We don't have him in just a onesie very often in the winter, so it was fun to see his little legs and arms.
One night I noticed that Drew and I were both lounging in our white t-shirts, so I had Jana take a picture of us in our matching outfits.
This past fall for my birthday I got a jogging stroller, so that Drew and I can go for runs together. We had a particularly warm winter day last weekend, and it enabled me to take Drew out for a spin in the jogging stroller. You can see that I am pretty excited about going for a run with Drew . . .
But Drew didn't really know what to make of his many layers and new stroller. He seemed to like it though once we got going! It is a much different workout to run and push him in the stroller versus going running on your own!
